carbonated mineral water springs and other signs of past volcanic activity are common around the village. people still remember the springs called nyillaki, fingó, bolond. of these, only the bolond (crazy) spring is still active, due to the mining attempt near vârghiș in the late 1980s. trying to pump out the vast underground mineral water layer that covered the coal, the project only managed to decimate the mineral water springs in the area. however, mineral water still found its way back to the surface. after the fall of the communist regime and the termination of the infamous mining project, springs soon appeared in new locations around the village. also of volcanic origin, the likaskő is a cone-shaped formation with a hole in the middle, which resembles some of the geysers in yellowstone national park - except it is empty inside.
