7th ICA MOUNTAIN CARTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

MOUNTAIN MAPPING AND GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

BORSA, MARAMURES, ROMANIA, 1-5 September 2010

ICA - Commission on Mountain Cartography has continued the well-established series of workshops with the 7-th edition in Borsa, Romania, from 1st to 5th September. The workshop was organized by the Sighetu Marmatiei Extension of Babes-Bolyai University. The venue was Hotel Paltinis, in Borsa Complex at the feet of Rodnei Mountains (2303m) the highest in the Oriental Carpathians. Borsa is situated in the extreme north of Romania, in Maramures Land, closed by the Rodnei (Pietrosul Peak, 2303m) and Maramures Mountains (Eastern Carpathians) at an elevation of 850m, with 29000 inhabitants. Very popular are the springs with mineral carbonated waters. The zone provides facilities for mountaineering, there are marked trails, ski slopes, rope chair. Staying at a small hotel, entirely booked for the workshop, and the rainy weather facilitated the professional interaction and a very fruitful communication in our group. [...
