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.

Ski resort Poiana Brasov Postavarul Mountains
Shining sun and an Austria-feeling on the impeccable slopes of the ski paradise Poiana Brasov above Brasov. Sunbathing, coffee and refreshing drinks on the terrace of Julius Römer chalet.

Via ferrata Adventure Climb Varmost Italia
I participated in a joint, Szekler-Italian 'military exercise' on the Adventure Climb Varmost via ferrata. :-) The iron climbing route is located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, in the Carnic Alps, and it leads up to the summit of Clap Varmost above Forni di Sopra.

Dachstein Gams klettersteig Austria
The Dachstein Gams is a new via ferrata route on Krippenstein. It has three parts: Himmeleck (A/B), Gams (C), and Nordwand (E).

Black Rocks iron path Bihor Mountains
Black Rocks is located in the Bihor Mountains, near the Vartop Saddle, to the west of it. It is interesting that the locals (if I understood correctly) do not know this name, but use the name Piatra Buna (meaning Good Stone) for this spectacular rock.

Rudariei watermills Eftimie Murgu
I have visited the twenty-two wooden water mills with horizontal wheels, located in the valley of the Rudaria stream, mostly in the rain and under an umbrella. Some of them are still in use today.

Loreley and Pink Panther iron path Baia de Fier
The Loreley via ferrata (graded B/C, with an elevation difference of approximately 100 m and a length of about 100 m) is located on the rock wall on the opposite side of the road. A branch from its upper section leads to the Pink Panther (Pantera Roz, graded A/B/C, approximately 200 meters long, with an elevation difference of about 50 meters).

Hias Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein
The Hias Klettersteig in the Silberkarklamm gorge is the first of the three via ferrata routes, and perhaps the easiest to complete. Two cable bridges and a few trickier sections make it interesting, but it is truly impressive due to the view of the narrow gorge.

Wild Ferenc iron path Suhardul Mic
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.

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.
