Bilbor – is a dam volcanic depression, located in the Oriental Carpathians, in their central group, between the Mesozoic crystalline area and the Neogene eruptive of Căliman Mountains, on the superior course of Bistricioara River. It is the most nordic settlement of Harghita County and as well the highest altitude settlement of the county, the precincts of the depression being comprised between 950 – 1050 m altitude, thus being included in the group of altitude settlements in our country. Bilbor is a depression region, located between three mountainous massives which surrounds it as walls do to a citadel. In the northern and eastern part, the Bilbor Depression is enclosed by the Bistriţei Mountains, in the southern part by the Giurgeului Mountain and in the west by Căliman Mountains. Being located inside the moffette aureola in Căliman-Harghita, we can observe the existence of an important mineral water deposit, stored especially in the crystalline limestone from which most springs appear. Like other depressions, Bilbor Depression represents a connection nucleus between Transylvania and Moldova through mountains passes under the Păltiniş and Bursucăria peaks connects to Drăgoiasa – Glodu Depression and on the Bistricioara valley, through the Tulgheş pass the connection to Neamţ county is ensured. The communication with the Borsec Depression is made through the Bistricioara valley as well and with the Giurgeului Depression through the Mestecăniş pass, then the Secu-Gura Secului narrow pass.
