Day 8

Day 8- One day trip in Piatra Craiului mountains

I suppose that, after 7 days on the road, even the toughest tourists need a short break. That's why I chose a perfect place for this: Plaiul Foii chalet in Piatra Craiului mountains.
You may wonder, why I have chosen this particular place for this break. The reason is that Piatra Craiului are the mountains which I love most in Romania. For the ones of you who would like to go on a trip on the mountains, I would be more than glad to show you my favorite sights hidden in the wilderness of this mountain. For the ones who only want to bathe in the sun, Plaiul Foii chalet is the perfect place for relaxation and, believe me, the sights are absolutely amazing!

For the ones choosing the trip on the mountain, there are some things I’d like to mention first:
A minimum equipment is, nevertheless, required. The compulsory items are: comfortable mountain boots, waterproof jacket, a thick pullover, short and long trousers, flashlight, minimum one backpack for 3 persons, a hat to protect you against the sun.
Don’t be alarmed by what I’ve written above..If you’ve been on the mountains before, you already know what minimum equipment means.. All I’m trying to do is not to allow anything spoil our day through this mountain jewelry. Our trip will last one day, and in the afternoon we’ll return to Plaiul Foii chalet.
