Situated in an area of the Lake Izvorul Muntelui also called "Little Switzerland," it is a mixture of modern and archaic culture.

It is situated on the national road 15C which stretches from Piatra Neamț to Târgu Mureș.

It is a typical mountain village, with the main institutions (school, police, local administration, health service, etc.)

and a high rate of unemployment (about 20% according to the latest survey of AJOFM (The Job Service) Neamț).

A running water system is provided by funds from Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (SAPARD), however, further work still needs to be done on the village's infrastructure and environmental protection.
