Geography

The commune is located in the western part of Maramureș County, southwest of the county seat, Baia Mare, and belongs to the Baia Mare metropolitan area. It lies on the banks of the river Lăpuș and its right tributary, the Săsar; the river Borcut flows into the latter near the village Săsar. Recea is crossed by national road (part of European route E58), which runs from Cluj-Napoca north towards Baia Mare and the border crossing at Halmeu, where it connects with the Ukrainian highway M26. The town has two train stations (Lăpușel and Săsar), both serving the CFR Main Line 400, which connects Brașov with Baia Mare and Satu Mare.
