Small Via ferrata Rasnoavei Gorge 158.51 km away
In the past few days, it has snowed, so I climbed the two climbing routes in the Rasnoavei Gorge under winter conditions. While the lower part of the challenging Big via ferrata was dry, the upper section had patches of snow and icicles.

Oltet Gorge (Cheile Oltetului) Capatana Mountains 240.1 km away
That day, we had planned to ski at the Ranca resort, situated alongside the Transalpina high altitude mountain road in the Parang Mountains. Unfortunately, the very small snowfall made skiing unfeasible, so we had to find an alternative activity on our way home.

Black Rocks iron path Bihor Mountains 229.61 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.
