Hegyalja microregion comprises 22 settlements of the former Udvarhely (Odorhei) Seat. For a long time this region was known as Havasalja, but nowadays it is also known as the Land of the traditional Szekler Gates. The region is situated between the Târnava Mică and the Târnava Mare rivers, in the northern part of the Transylvanian Plateau in parallel with the volcanic mountains of the Carpathians.

The microregion offers multiple facilities for tourism, recreation and healthcare, since all of the settlements have large forests and are inhabited by hospitable people. Visitors can admire the beautiful sights during the excursions and can get enchanted by  traditions and cultural events.
