Dear nature and hiking lovers,

We invite you to discover a route that we are proposing for the first time, starting from one of the most picturesque villages in Mărginimea Sibiului: Fântânele (Cacova Sibiului).
This hike brings together history-filled stories, the charm of nature reborn at the beginning of spring, and the spectacular landscapes of hay meadows dotted with the traditional huts of Mărginimea.

We meet on Saturday, at 9:00, in the parking lot next to Cabana Valea Aurie, from where we will leave grouped in cars toward Fântânele.
