About us
Orotva is a mountain settlement belonging to Ditrău Commune, formed during the village expansion process of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, on lands used for charcoal burning and animal husbandry.
Its first inhabitants were engaged in forest clearing and charcoal production, and the name of the settlement most likely derives from the term “ortás/irtás.” The village lies at an altitude of 850 metres above sea level, in the valley of the Orotva and Halaság streams, with an elongated layout stretching along the valley; the first records of its inhabitants date from the 1830s, when the settlement was still known as Bányahegy.
