Dear hiker,
We invite you to a special hike in the Făgăraș Mountains, during a time when nature shows off its most vibrant beauty.
We begin our trail at Poiana Neamțului Cabin, ascend to Bârcaciu Cabin, and then continue toward the Scărișoara Plateau and Scara Peak (2306 m).
The entire alpine trail is adorned with blooming rhododendrons, offering us a rare and breathtaking natural spectacle. We enjoy fresh mountain air, sweeping landscapes, and the calm of the ridges — an experience that blends movement with the beauty of alpine flowers.
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
Departure will be on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 7:30 AM from Sibiu (Kaufland Parking Lot – Mall Shopping City Sibiu), heading toward Valea Avrigului by personal car so we can regroup at the trailhead.
