Villages edit
The commune is composed of five villages: Alunișu (Magyarókereke), Domoșu (Kalotadámos), Brăișoru (Malomszeg), Horlacea (Jákótelke) and Sâncraiu.
Horlacea edit
Horlacea (Hungarian: Jákótelke, German: Jakkesteig) is a small village located in the commune of Sâncraiu. It has a population of 177 people (2002). Horlacea has no paved roads or scheduled railway service, and consequently provides a very rustic agritourism experience. It is an isolated settlement in the Apuseni Mountains, in the heart of Transylvania. The closest town is Huedin.
At the 2011 census, 78.4% of inhabitants were Hungarians and 20.3% Romanians.[3]
