Miercurea-Ciuc attractions

If you love nature, this experience will take you into the heart of the Transylvanian Mountains. You’ll travel from the peaceful Garba Valley through the area around Kondra’s Cross, continue to the Red Lake and move on to the Bicaz Gorge. The route connects several well-known natural sites in one outing. Along the way you’ll encounter varied mountain scenery: valleys and wooded slopes, a notable site at Kondra’s Cross, the Red Lake itself and the striking rock-cut corridor of the Bicaz Gorge. As you move through these places, you’ll have time to take in the scenery, enjoy photographic angles and experience the differing landscapes that characterise this part of Transylvania. The pace and sequence will let you appreciate each location’s natural features without rushing.

A 4x4 tour into the Eastern Carpathians will take you off the main roads and into rugged, rural landscapes. You will pass through small villages and hidden valleys, and stop at belvedere points that offer good opportunities for photos. Your private guide will introduce you to local lifestyle, wildlife, history and culture as you move through the area. Routes are chosen on the day depending on the weather, so the exact trails may vary. If you wish, you can also explore the region’s World War I and II history. With the help of detailed maps and old photos, you may trace the course of past battles and gain further context for the landscapes you see. All transportation is included, with hotel pickup and drop-off from Miercurea Ciuc provided as part of the experience.
