Saint Anne lake - Ciomat-Puturosu 5.37 km away
Lake Saint Anna is the only well-preserved volcanic crater lake in Eastern Europe. Here are some images from an afternoon outing.

Preacher's Rock - Bodoc Mountains 10.92 km away
In the Bodoc Mountains, west-southwest from the Henter peak, we find a rock formation shaped like a mushroom by erosion, called Preacher's Rock. This 2-meter high rock probably got its name from the pagan Hungarian priests, who preached here in the past.

Walking to the top of Sumuleul Mare - Sumuleu Ciuc 30.46 km away
This was my first attempt at shooting a video.

Nobody's lake - Miercurea Ciuc 31.11 km away
The passage of time (time lapse), dusk at Nobody's Lake. Miercurea Ciuc and the Sumuleu mountain can be seen in the background.

Varghis gorges in winter 33.69 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).

Dino Parc Rasnov 68.11 km away
On June 12, 2015, one of the largest dinosaur theme parks in the region opened in Rasnov, where we can see 45 life-sized dinosaurs. The facility is located directly next to the Rasnov Fortress, which is one of the best-preserved Transylvanian Saxon peasant fortresses.

Muierii Cave (Pestera Muierilor) Baia de Fier 198.69 km away
We visited the Baia de Fier area, and climbed on the rock that also conceals the Women's Cave (Pestera Muierilor). Between two via ferrata routes, we also participated in one of the guided cave tours, which depart every hour.

Lady's Stones Rarau Mountains 152.02 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).

The Trovants Museum in Winter Costesti 181.66 km away

Fairy Cliff (Peretele Zanelor) via ferrata route Vadu Crisului 279.8 km away
In Vadu Crisului, in the Padurea Craiului Mountains, on the right bank of the Crisul Repede, you can find the newest, in chronological order (2015) the fifth Transylvanian, new type of via ferrata route. I will not count here the traditional iron paths, the high-mountain hiking trails, partly secured with iron cables, or the rock canyons with iron ladders and footbridges.
