 ituated on the road from Masloc to Bogda, Altringen is a peaceful hamlet equidistant from Arad and Timisoara. Rolling countryside, rich meadows and forests full of wildlife await the visitor. Casa Altringen lies in the middle of this paradise overlooking a lake and on the edge of a forest. This is where you have the chance to understand yourself and what is really important to you - away from the frenetic bustle of city life.
 wo hundred years ago, the hills were an all-Schwab area, as the demographics reflected, Count Clary und Altringen's edict, ordering in 1771 the establishment of German colonists in the area. Charlottenburg was named after the wife of the Count while Altringen took the name of the Count himself. There is documentary evidence that the village that was to bear his name was founded three centuries earlier in 1436. From the 15th Century the glorious scenery attracted Serbians and later on Hungarians and Romanians. This created the multicultural legacy it enjoys today and old traditions, craft and cooking are testament to this.
 fter the turn of the twentieth century, Germans accounted for nearly 90% of the inhabitants but this decreased sharply after the second world war. As the Schwab population was replaced mostly by Romanians, the village of Altringen was closer to being a holiday village for people from the neighbouring cities.
