Dear hikers,

On Sunday, May 18th, we’ll celebrate spring with a hike through the rolling hills surrounding Mediaș.

We’ll follow a loop trail that starts in the historic center of Mediaș and circles the Greweln Valley. Along the way, we’ll stop to admire the Făgăraș Mountains (if the skies are clear) and enjoy a wild garlic picking session—yes, even if it has flowered or started to fruit, it’s still good to harvest and eat!

WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?

Meeting: 4:30 PM, at the entrance to Roth High School / St. Margaret Evangelical Church
There are 10 parking spaces.
