Dear hiker,

Enjoy the beginning of spring with the picturesque landscapes of the Cindrel Mountains and come relive with us those beautiful moments in our lives when time seemed to stand still. We set off from the village of Fântânele, a picturesque place in Mărginimea Sibiului, and let ourselves be carried through orchards and blossoming trees, through fir forests, and among the quiet surprises of spring.
Feed your soul with a journey into the past, toward the former Fântânele Cabin and the surroundings of Salgo Fortress, on a loop hike with a stop at Godea Cabin, an authentic and welcoming place hidden in the forest, which will make you relive the small joys of childhood. It will be a day full of beautiful surprises, when nature comes to life and migratory birds arrive “home” once again.
