the aroma of the hay floats
everywhere in summer
Raraul is the legendary mountain of the
city
|
- Visit the city. A walk through its streets is
more than worth. The city has an obvious taste of cosmopolitanism - like, I believe, any
other mountain city. Old buildings are decorating the principal streets - remembering the
almost forgotten times of the Habsburg Empire.

Rich harvest of raspberries...
Beautiful traditional costumes...
|
- The villages around keep wonderful traditions.
Take a bus or a local taxi (very cheap) and go to Fundu Moldovei. It's
just 10 km away. On Saturdays and Sundays morning - people are going to the church
dressed in beautiful costumes. It's a wonderful little village. You will feel like going
back in time....
|
- Go to the nearby forests of Campulung. Quite
soon you'll find yourself asking how could you survive so far without such peace and
serenity...Listen to the forest. I was once almost sure that the song of the forest is
more interesting than the sea's.
|
- Well - what about a barbecue or a picnic in
the woods? I tell you - there's nothing more delicious than some food after cleaning up
your lungs with such clean air... (Be careful with the fire). While wondering in the old
woods, will be surely amazed by the plenty of wild strawberries, raspberries, bilberies
and mushrooms.
|
- Go and tame Rarau. This mountain is the symbol
for the region. It reaches more than 1,600 m. While rising up, you will pass over some
very beautiful valleys, hasty ice-cold springs and very dark forests. There are some
marked itineraries which are aiming for the top of Rarau. Right at the top you will find a
nice motel - a place to relax and re-capture your strengths. The place offers a
breathtaking panorama over the region and the neighboring mountains.
|
- THE MONASTERIES... - there's so much to say
about them. For the time being I am proposing you some links to follow for more
information.
