Dear nature lover,
On March 21, when day and night are almost equal, nature enters a new cycle. Light increases, the forest slowly awakens, and we have the chance to slow down a little and spend a few hours outdoors.
Dear nature lover, we invite you to a spring hike in the Rășinari – Trăinei – Poiana Pensionarilor area, on an easy route of about 11 km that passes through pine, beech, and oak forests and offers beautiful views toward the Cindrel Mountains, Lotru Mountains, and Făgăraș Mountains.
This experience combines walking in nature with moments of quiet, observation, and mindful movement.
During the hike we will have:
Silent walk – a few moments of walking in silence to observe nature around us more closely
Forest bathing – we will talk about the beneficial effects of the forest on health and about the natural substances that trees release into the air (especially during this time of year)
Observing details in nature and detail photography – a simple way to reconnect with the rhythm of the natural environment
Stretching exercises and “sun salutation” together with Andreea Cenușe, yoga teacher
Stories about the sun and rural life – springtime in the village and the solar motif found on traditional gates in Rășinari, and the role of the sun in the life of rural communities
This is not a performance hike, but an invitation to walk at nature’s pace, breathe the forest air, and mark together the beginning of spring.
