Sâncraiu (Kalotaszentkirály in Hungarian) is a commune in Cluj County, Transylvania, Romania.

The commune is located in the western part of the county, just south of Huedin and 58 km (36 mi) from the county seat, Cluj-Napoca.

Villages

The commune is composed of five villages: Alunișu (Magyarókereke), Domoșu (Kalotadámos), Brăișoru (Malomszeg), Horlacea (Jákótelke) and Sâncraiu.

Horlacea

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]
