O noua tentativa in zona Arieseni. De data asta nu in varful muntelui la Cabana Cetatile Ponorului cum s-a intamplat cu un an precedent unde accesul se face pe creasta muntelui timp de 5km ci la o pensiune Simona cu foisor, hamac, verdeata, pisicute, un cadru specific de relaxare. camera dubla 150ron pe noapte fara mic dejun, cu mic dejun inca 20 ron. Cadru minunat pentru drumetii in zona, asta daca nu ploua prea mult. Fie trasee la groapa Ruginoasa, cascada Varciog, pestera Scarisoara sau Altarului sau trasee pe platforma Padis, lacul din Poiana Ponor. Am reusit sa facem un traseu si am surprins Cetatile Ponorului, un peisaj care te lasa fara suflare la propriu. Este o zona mlastinoasa specifica cadrului de orhidee.... read more

Dag 22 – Rondreis Roemenië – dinsdag 18 september 2018 – Reisdag naar Aurel Vlaicu (160km) Naar een primitieve camping van een Nl-der in een mooi gelegen boerengat met uitzicht op de bergen. Hoofdzakelijk langs de nieuwe autostrade E68, met een afslag naar de 'Cetatea' van Alba Lulia. Deze Citadel is een prachtig stervormig bastion met slotgrachten, metersdikke muren en versterkte poorten, gebouwd door de Habsburgers begin 18de eeuw in de stijl van Vauban. Het was recent nog tot 2004 een hermetische afgesloten militair garnizoen. Er liggen enorme pleinen en omvat prachtige barokgebouwen nu dienstig als o.a universiteit en bibliotheek. Zoals onvermijdelijk ook 2 prachtige kerken. Kathedralen, een Rooms-katholieke (romaans-gotisch12-13de eeuw) en een statige nieuwe Orthodoxe (jaren 1920). Voor de Roemenen is Alba Lulia een historische plaats voor de vorming en hereniging van hun land... read more

Europe » Romania » Transilvania » Alba » Abrud March 4th 2010

Sorry guys, I'm a bit behind on publishing my journal entries, but this is the last installment of my Eastern-Europe Romania journey: So, started out with a 530am bus ride from Cluj to Abrud taking nearly 4 hours, where a pre-arranged taxi picked us up and drove us 12 km to the village of Bucium-Campani, where David Vetalau's farm is. Or should i say, "farm" as he had no garden, fruits, or vegetables , and no animals except a few dogs. We met a man they called "wolf" because he gets really drunk and wanders the mountain. He walked us in the middle of the tiny village, down the road to Vetalau's 'girlfriend', Luci... She was such an interesting character. A chain smoking, loudmouth who wouldn't let the cats leave the wood pile under the stove. ... read more

Ruins of Dacian Cities can be found at Capalna and Craiva, but the most atractive and well preserved are the old cities of Alba Iulia, Sebes and Aiud. The castles and places are important touristic sights due to their external and internal architecture, being built in epoch style. Remarkable, in this respect, are The Princely Palace and The Episcopal Palace of Alba Iulia, the building of The National Museum of Unification which is also in Alba Iulia, or Bethlen Gabor College in Aiud. In some places varied medieval mansions are also well preserved, being declared monuments of architecture, examples are: Sard, Ighiu, Telna, Galda de Jos, Vintu de Jos, Vurpar, Ocna Mures, Sanmiclaus, Cetatea de Balta, Sancrai.... read more
