Dear hikers,
This Saturday, we set off in search of the crocuses of Valea Sâmbetei. This is one of the most spectacular valleys in the Făgăraș Mountains. The trail to the Valea Sâmbetei Cabin is quite easy, without technical sections. It is accessible to those who do not have experience in mountain hiking. We will follow the trail to the cabin, on the forest road and through the woods, where we will take a well-deserved break, admiring the grandeur of the Făgăraș Mountains, still under snow.
WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
We meet at 9:00 AM, in the Hervis parking lot. From there we will travel by personal cars, about 70 km, to Sâmbăta de Sus, where we will park around 10:15 AM. For those who do not have a car available, there will be a cost per person and it will be paid directly to the driver who has available space in the car. Please let us know if you do not have a personal car, to check availability.
