    Hiking

    Just an hour's drive from Brașov lies the country's most beautiful volcanic crater. But even most Romanians don't know about it. Only in recent years has the beauty of the Racoș crater been widely publicized in digital media, with spectacular drone footage of the circular crater, in particular, bringing this geological wonder, formed some two million years ago, to public attention.
