Hiking in Ciocanu

At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Brasov County History Museum to start this hiking tour in Ciocanu. We'll go on a 1-hour drive to Ciocanu, a Transylvanian village surrounded by nature and high mountains, offering beautiful views of the peaks of the Bucegi Natural Park, Piatra Craiului National Park, and the Postavaru Massif.

Upon arrival, we'll start a 2-hour hike in the Piatra Craiului Mountains, located on the border between the former Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Romania. During the 6.2-7.5 mile (10-12 km) walk, we will observe the unique natural scenery and cattle and sheep grazing as most of Ciocanu's residents manage farms. We will also share legends and curiosities of the region.

After the hike, lunch will be served in a cozy house featuring homemade cheeses, sausages, homegrown vegetables, preserves, and homemade pickles.

Finally, after 4 hours of experience, we'll return to the meeting point in Brasov.
