Dear hikers,

We invite you to join us on a hike through the hills above Rășinari, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Sibiu, the Făgăraș Mountains, and the Lotru Mountains. We’ll walk along old shepherd trails and immerse ourselves in the authentic landscapes of Mărginimea Sibiului, dotted with picturesque wooden huts.

Along the way, we’ll uncover the history of these fascinating places, inspired by local monographs, and experience the joy of a winter hike that will warm our hearts.
This is a medium-difficulty trail, 14 kilometers long, with an elevation gain of 700 meters. The path includes some steeper sections through the forest, so participants should be in good physical condition and have some basic hiking experience.
We warmly invite you to explore this enchanting corner of nature with us!
