This paper aims to analyze water and climate resources from Roşia Montană-Abrud mining area and to emphasize the necessity to transform these resources into tourism attractors. The most significant water resources are the antrophogenic lakes called ”tăuri” which represent elements of great originality created for mining purposes. The first man-made lakes were created in order to activate the stamping mills used to grind the auriferous ores and occurred in this area since ancient times. These lakes have had an fundamental role during the millenary mining exploitation until the middle of 20th century, after which they had lost their significance during the industrial process, as a consequence of the 1948 nationalization. Previous research identified traces of a big number of lakes, out of which there are active only 9 in the present. Although these lakes play no role in modern mining, they have a high cultural value which can be capitalized through tourism activities. The mentioned area, due to its altitude, is also appropriate for practising mountain climatic therapy. Given the fact that water and climate resources inherently have a significant role when concerning outdoor activities, Roşia Montană-Abrud area is suitable for recreational nautical tourism, winter sports and mountain cure, but one has to consider that hidro-climatic resources are also important for rural tourism, agritourism, ecotourism etc., for which reason it is imperative to be provided adequate tourism planning and tourism promotion in order to capitalize them properly.
