Dear hikers,

We invite you to an evening hike in the Cindrel Mountains, where we will enjoy together one of the most beautiful spectacles of summer: the sunset viewed from the mountain ridges, followed by a descent by headlamp.

We will start from the Oncești Chairlift and climb towards Poiana Găujoara, on an easy route suitable both for those who are new to hiking and for families with children. While admiring the sunset, we will stop to enjoy a warm tea and a small snack, then prepare for the descent in the dark, guided by the light of our headlamps.

We will enjoy the final rays of sunlight, and towards the end of the hike we will have the opportunity to admire the first stars appearing in the sky and, with a little luck, even a few shooting stars.

The hike is suitable for people with no mountain hiking experience and for children over 7 years old, accompanied by an adult.

WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?

Friday, at 18:00, in Păltiniș, at the Oncești Chairlift, where we will begin the hike.
