Bâlea Waterfall

An imposing view of the valley and the Carpathians. You feel rather small as a human next to the stone giant

Every year is different. Sometimes you can't reach the lake.

When the weather is nice, an experience for road bike climbers (preferably avoid the weekend)

Snow Walls on the Transfăgărășan Road

In May the Transfagarasan is still closed. Normally open from July till end of October. Sometimes it opens at some point in June. Even if, or maybe because it is closed, it is a beautiful ride.
