Salt lake spa - Sovata - photos
Page no. 1, photos: 1-8, 17 photos in total. >>>
Backtracking west a couple miles, we turned north on Hiway 13, then right on 13A headed for the city of Sovata. On the way we passed thru the
village of Fantinele which features a sunken church.
Apparently after being built, over time the whole church settled into the ground, leaving only a meter (39 inches) entryway into the building. Everyone who enters must bow down, not a bad idea of entering a church anyhow. We did not stop to view it up close.
Arriving at the city of Sovata we parked at a Spa Hotel, and walked down to see the salt lake, Bear Lake (Lacul Ursu), another salt-water lake spa. Before beginning our walk around the lake, we stopped at a food shack and had a cheese pie (round yeast dough like a small pizza, deep fried, and then topped with sour cream and grated cheese).
We walked around the lake, saw several bathers floating without rafts, took some pictures, also a shot of Peter and Ed to post on the internet (Peter wearing the Ozark Trail cap and OT June 2nd Workday T-shirt I brought for him). After the lake, Peter went back up to bring the car, Ed had a cold Fanta.

Iron path - Harghita-Madaras 40.11 km away
Amateur filming in Harghita-Madaras, holding the camera by hand in the car, and helmet-mounted on the via ferrata. I climbed an iron path for the first time in my life on the Nyerges cliffs (Stancile Seii), I didn't have the right equipment yet. That's where I fell in love with climbing.

With snowshoes in the Tihu creek valley - Rastolita 54.67 km away
We met geotrekking treasure hunters from Gheorgheni, Miercurea Ciuc and Targu Mures in Rastolita. We entered the Calimani Mountains with an off-road vehicle, along the Rastolita and Tihu streams. As it turned out, the well-worn forest road can also be traveled by car for a good distance.

Wild Ferenc iron path - Suhardul Mic 58.17 km away
While I climbed the new iron path mostly in the dark for the first time, this time I managed to explore it during the day. But I still missed the sunset by a few minutes.
