Difficulty

Medium

We start from Valea Săliștei.
The trail takes us through the forest, where the light plays among the leaves, and then we spend a few quiet moments at Foltea Hermitage.

After the climb, we reach Poiana Soarelui – an open-air museum featuring monumental wooden sculptures created four decades ago.

Here, art and nature embrace each other.

A place of tranquillity, stories and a healing spring.
A corner of the world where time seems to flow differently.
