Banita Gorges and Banita rock bridge
They say about this place that only very few people know about it, but that's not true. In fact, most nature lovers have heard of it, seen pictures taken here, even if not everyone has been able to come here.

Hili cove iron path Turda Gorges
While the first time I climbed this via ferrata in the morning, now I climbed it in the light of the setting sun. The red-dressed rocks created a special atmosphere, and I could admire the sunset from the top of the climbing route.

The second station of the cable car departing from Obertraun is the Krippenstein peak (2100 m). Here you can find the famous 5fingers lookout, which offers a unique view of Hallstatt and Obertraun below, as well as the Hallstättersee lake.

The Fagarasi Mountains can be easily approached from the north, mainly by using the Transfagarasan Road. This road is only accessible during the summer months (throughout its entire length), but from the Balea Waterfall station (Statia Balea Cascada) you can also reach the Balea Lake by cable car.

Siega Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein
The Siega Klettersteig, categorized as a C/D level of difficulty, is perhaps the least interesting of the three via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm gorge. This doesn't mean that it's not good, just that the other two are even better.

Sheepdogs Govora sheepfold Retezat mountains
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.
