Liteni Fortress — Attraction in Băișoara

Easy hike and such a cozy spot. Climbing the ruins is a bit of an "adventure", but should pose no issues for a regularly fit person. Beautiful views and great air to refresh those lungs!

There is little left of the old castle but you can enjoy some nice views from the top of its...
