    The dirt track winds through a serene valley, where ancient terraces still shape the hillside and the sound of pasture echoes between stone walls.

    These terraces, shaped over centuries, are veritable agricultural staircases, a patient work that transformed the mountain range and remains today as a living testament to the harmony between man and the mountain.

      The northern flank of the Fóia appears to be richer in water. There are several springs, streams and many pastures here.
