Dear hikers,
We invite you to the Turnu Roșu Monastery – Chica Pietrelor Peak (1606 m) hike, via Corbului Saddle.
This is a medium-intensity hike that takes you through cool forests and quiet meadows all the way to Chica Pietrelor Peak, offering a stunning panorama over the entire Sibiu depression. Along the trail, we’ll encounter: gentle climbs and steeper sections, a picturesque meadow – perfect for relaxing and snacking (break stop).
Fairytale-like landscapes, fresh air, great people, and a Samoyed with a constant smile will make your day unforgettable. Let yourself be guided by the mountain, by stories, and by Hopi’s little paws.
