Ciomadul, Dormant volcano in Harghita County, Romania
The Ciomadul volcano features two distinctive explosion craters, Lake Sfânta Ana and Mohoș peat bog, within its dacitic lava dome complex.
The volcanic structure developed between 650,000 and 500,000 years ago, with its last recorded eruption occurring approximately 32,600 years ago.
Local communities near Ciomadul maintain traditional practices of gathering medicinal plants and herbs from the mountain slopes throughout different seasons.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit at 1,289 meters, connecting the nearby thermal spa towns of Băile Tușnad and Balvanyos.
Scientific measurements indicate an active magma chamber beneath the surface, with continuous gas emissions and elevated geothermal gradients.
