Dear hiker,
A place where nature meets story, and tradition comes to life!
Join us for a hike on unmarked, wild trails in the Lotru Mountains while enjoying one of the most beautiful events in the Țara Mărginimii Sibiului: the Pie Festival in Tălmațel.
From Lunca Largă we climb along Valea Lungșoarei, through a shaded, charming forest, up to Vârful Muma—a spot with spectacular panoramic views over the Făgăraș, Cindrel, Lotru, Căpățânii, Apuseni Mountains, and even the city of Mediaș. Then we descend via a circuit route over Vârful Pleșița, Dealul Plaiului, and Valea Ștefăniței back to Lunca Largă, where the best pies await us at the festival.
