On Via Transilvanica 2, we went as a group of ~5 people. The organizer, Bogdan, planned everything up to the last detail: he made reservations in guest houses long before, informed himself really well about the hikes, checked the weather and kept everyone motivated. During the adventure, he was always making sure we respect the schedule.

On the way to Fundul Moldovei

In the North of Romania, travellers can enjoy mountains with wavelike shapes, remote valleys and deep forests. The average altitude of the hike is 1000m.

The path to Vatra Moldovitei

Sometimes the route can get very steep, you can get lost or scared in the darkness of the night.. but all this, just adds a bit of thrill to the adventure.

Valley before Sadova

Between Fundul Moldovei and Sadova, we met a man, living all alone, at least one hour away from the nearest village, with no access road or neighbours. When we left, a magic sound started coming from his flute, filling in harmony the space around.. The music and his dog - were his only companions.
