Dear hikers,

On Sunday, February 16, we will enjoy a beautiful day, explore various ecosystems, and have a fish soup!
We start from the center of Mediaș, quickly climb up the hill, pass through two pasture-forest areas (an ecosystem mainly found here in southern Transylvania), admire a young forest, and then enjoy a fish soup or roe salad at Cherhana Denisa.

The total distance is 8 km, of which 2 km are through the city, and the rest through nature.
If we’re lucky, we might even see deer!

This hike is also suitable for families and little (but strong) legs.

WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?

12:00 PM, in front of the Synagogue in Mediaș.
Cars can be parked in the parking lot in front of the Synagogue.
