Dear hikers,

Sunset hike, starry skies, Perseids, and an adorable Samoyed companion.

Join us for a magical experience in the Cindrel Mountains! We hike to Mt. Bătrâna right at sunset — when the sky glows orange and peace surrounds us. Afterwards, enjoy a celestial show: the Perseid meteor shower and breathtaking stargazing, far from city lights.

Medium trail through forests and meadows
Hopi, the guide’s Samoyed, joins us and steals hearts
