Dear hikers,

It’s time to enjoy a summer sunset together, in the cool mountain air of the Cindrel Mountains near Sibiu.
The hike will start from Cantonul Muncel, toward Poiana Găujoara, and will be easy in terms of difficulty. Please note that the return will be in the dark, guided by headlamps.
While watching the sunset, we can enjoy a tea and a small snack. Meanwhile, we’ll get our headlamps ready and begin the descent back to Cantonul Muncel. We’ll enjoy the last rays of sunlight and, by the end of the hike, the first stars of the night sky.

This is an easy hike, suitable even for those with little mountain experience, as there are no technical sections along the trail. It’s also suitable for children over the age of 7, accompanied by an adult.

WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?

Friday, 6:30 PM, in Păltiniș at the Oncești Chairlift, from where we will head to Cantonul Muncel.
