Snow-covered valley of Balea and the Transfagarasan in winter - The ascent 3.64 km away
The Fagarasi Mountains can be easily approached from the north, mainly by using the Transfagarasan Road.

Stan Valley Canyon in winter 26.71 km away
The Stan Valley is a picturesque canyon, even in winter. In fact, when the stream is frozen and covered with a layer of snow, exploring the canyon becomes much quicker and easier.

The Stan Valley is located near Lake Vidraru, southwest of it, in the Fruntii Mountains. Those who have visited the Seven Ladders Waterfall will appreciate this canyon, outfitted with infrastructure for tourist accessibility.

The Poenari citadel is located on the southern slope of the Fagaras Mountains, on the western side of the Transfagaras road, in the Arges Valley, about 4 km from the Vidraru Lake dam. Along a steep incline, a concrete staircase leads up to the castle, which is built atop a mountain.

Black Rocks iron path Bihor Mountains 183.7 km away
Black Rocks is located in the Bihor Mountains, near the Vartop Saddle, to the west of it. It is interesting that the locals (if I understood correctly) do not know this name, but use the name Piatra Buna (meaning Good Stone) for this spectacular rock.
