Lonely Stone (Piatra Singuratica) - Hasmas Mountains 1.08 km away
On June 1, 2003, with a small group of friends, I left Balan, walking along the valley of the Sep (Beautiful) stream towards the Lonely Stone (Piatra Singuratica). Those who were with me at the time fell behind, and then other people joined for the hike.

Giant fir trees - Ghimes 7.3 km away
One of the lesser-known attractions of Ghimes is the two giant-sized common fir trees. They are 42 meters tall, and have diameters of 110 cm and 130 cm at chest height.

Wild Ferenc iron path - Suhardul Mic 14.02 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.

Wild Ferenc memorial path - Suhardul Mic 14.04 km away
In recent days, this news has been everywhere: the via ferrata route built on the southwest wall of Suhardul Mic (Little Suhard) has finally been completed and inaugurated. The new route has been named after Ferenc Wild, in memory of the former mountain rescuer, sports writer, and one of the founders of the mountain rescue association in Gheorgheni.

Bicajel Gorge (Cheile Bicajelului) - Hasmas Mountains 14.9 km away

Lady's Stones Rarau Mountains 88.19 km away
The Lady's Stones represent the heart, the mind, and the soul. The first two only help to understand the world when one possesses knowledge (they can be climbed with rock climbing gear), as emotions and thoughts (the two rock towers) obscure reality (the view).

Sheepdogs Govora sheepfold Retezat mountains 261.44 km away
On the second day of my weekend Retezat hike, I visited a sheepfold on the Lancita Ridge. To my great disappointment, they didn't make cheese or curd here.

Varghis gorges in winter 55.23 km away
I went out to admire the ice stalagmites (standing icicles) in the Varghis Gorge. Anyone arriving here at the end of winter can observe meter-high ice stalagmites in the entrance area of Meresti Cave (now known as Orban Balazs Cave).
