Șpring (Hungarian: Spring; German: Gespreng) is a commune located in Alba County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of six villages: Carpen (Árvádtanya), Carpenii de Sus (Gyertyános), Cunța (Konca; Zeckesdorf), Drașov (Drassó; Troschen), Șpring, and Vingard (Vingárd; Weingartskirchen).

Geography

The commune is situated at the western edge of the Transylvanian Plateau, at an altitude of 310 m (1,020 ft), on the banks of the river Secaș and its tributaries, the rivers Câlnic and Boz, with the river Șpring flowing into the latter. Șpring commune is located in the southeastern part of Alba County, 27 km (17 mi) from the county seat, Alba Iulia, on the border with Sibiu County.

Immediately to the south of Cunța village three major roads go east to west. The first is the A1 motorway, which links Bucharest with the Banat and Crișana regions in western Romania. The second and the third, running together in this stretch, are national roads DN1 and DN7 (part of European routes E68 and E81), the former connecting Bucharest to Cluj-Napoca and Oradea, and the latter to the Banat.
