Dear hikers,
We’ll start from the center of the village of Rășinari, where we’ll park our cars and head south toward Prislop. We’ll pass through the hamlet and continue on a winding cart road, alternating between forested areas and pastures. Before reaching the ridge trail, we’ll turn right toward Șaua Târnova and then head further to the MGS Hut. After a rest stop there, we’ll return via a trail that descends through Valea Caselor back to Rășinari.
This hike is suitable for people with a minimum level of physical fitness and children over 8 years old who can handle longer trails.
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
We’ll meet in the morning at 8:30 AM in the parking lot of Pensiunea Dumbrava Sibiului, near the Hilton Hotel. From there, we’ll drive our personal cars along the route Sibiu – Rășinari, parking in the village center around 8:50 AM.
