The Apuşeni mountains are in the west with Lupşa and Sălciua along the picturesque Arieş valley. South of the mountains are lowlands along the Mureş river in Hunedoara and Alba counties with villages such as Salistea. In the south of Transylvania are sub-Carpathian villages of Marginimea Sibiului such as Guru Râiului. Chipăr is in the Transylvanian heath to the south, in the the area once shared with Saxons, Ţopa is close to the Hungarian Szekely to the north-east, and Miheşu de Câmpie is further north in the area of mixed Hungarian and Romanian villages known as Mezõség by the Hungarians.
