Borșa

Borșa is a town in eastern Maramureș County, Maramureș, Romania, in the valley of the river Vișeu and near the Prislop Pass. Linking Transylvania to Bukovina, Prislop Pass is surrounded by the Rodna and Maramureș Mountains, both ranges of the Carpathians. The highest peak in the region is Pietrosul Rodnei — 2,303 meters.

The Rodna National Park can be accessed from Borșa. The town is home to a wooden church, built in 1718. It administers one village, Băile Borșa.

In 1891 there were 1,432 Jews living in Borșa. The area has lost much of its population following the collapse of the Communist regime.
