LandscapeThe forests here have a charm of their own, and the nearness of Sarmizegetusa Regia can be felt. Then comes the fortress, the sacred place of the Dacians, and a few kilometres of tarmac down to the lodgings in the valley.

For this route we have the official data for now, but not the step-by-step description. On the Bucovina stages, which we have walked ourselves, you also get the story of the way, the lodgings with prices, and the stamps.
