Buila Vânturarița National Park — Attraction in Costești

My recent visit to Buila-Vânturarița National Park was a true escape into nature's embrace. Tucked away in the heart of Romania, this hidden gem offers an unparalleled experience of tranquility, stunning landscapes, and breathtaking biodiversity.

Buila-Vânturarița National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. As I embarked on the hiking trails that wind through the park, I found myself immersed in a picturesque world of dense forests, rugged cliffs, and serene meadows. The diverse flora and fauna that call this park home are a testament to its ecological importance and conservation efforts.

The park's crown jewel is the impressive limestone massif, which stands tall and proud, creating a dramatic backdrop for the surrounding scenery. The cliffs and rock formations are a sight to behold, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the forces of nature that shaped them over time.

Hiking through the park's trails, I discovered hidden waterfalls cascading down moss-covered rocks, adding a touch of enchantment to the surroundings. The sound of rushing water and the fresh, crisp air invigorated my senses, reminding me of the beauty and purity of untouched nature.

One of the highlights of my visit was reaching the peak of Vânturarița, the highest point in the park. From there, I was rewarded with panoramic views that stretched as far as the eye could see. The rolling hills, deep valleys, and distant mountains painted a breathtaking landscape that left me speechless.

The park is also home to a rich variety of plant and animal species, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. I was fortunate to spot rare and elusive creatures such as chamois, deer, and various bird species. The park's commitment to conservation ensures that these precious habitats remain protected for generations to come.

The park's infrastructure, including well-marked trails and informative signage, made exploring the area a seamless and enjoyable experience. The visitor center provided valuable information about the park's history, geology, and the importance of preserving its natural wonders.

Whether you're an avid hiker, a wildlife enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the wonders of the natural world, this park will leave an indelible mark on your...

Almost no information about the trails can be found online. We only found out that there are 6 ways of entering the park … but no details where the trails start, where to park the car etc. We found out what trails we can do by passing through the center of a village, Costesti, and noticing a map. There is no info about trails here in the Muntii Nostri app or other apps such as AllTrails.

The area is not really frequented by tourists (we went on a Sunday morning) for hiking but only for monasteries. We felt unsafe because we were only 2 and there are bears in these area so we did only a short hike and turned back. We saw no other hikers while we were there.

A reviewer was mentioning a visitor center but I searched for it for about 2hours on the internet and found nothing and it’s not on google...

De departe unul dintre cele mai dezamăgitoare locuri pe care le-am văzut. Tot drumul este ,,asfaltat,, cu piatra și praf. In 10 minute au trecut 10 mașini care fiecare a lăsat un nor de praf care se ridica până la peste 7m in aer . Am renunțat la aceasta aventură groaznica după numai 10 minute întrucât efectiv nu se mai putea respira. La mașină când am suflat nasul, din praful și nisipul rezultat puteam fara probleme sa construiesc fundația unei case. Cum se poate numi parc national când tot ce înseamnă vegetație pe stânga și pe dreapta era GRI de praf.EFECTIV nu se zărea macar 1mm de culoare verde . Cum se poate numi parc national când era circulat de mașini. Mai mult decât atât la un moment dat a trecut un țărănoi cu o mașină de 7t (cabina galbena)cu bena care trecea claxonând cu acel claxon cu goarna, nu claxonul normal, și care a trecut pe drumul îngust cu peste 60km/h.Nu exagerez cu nimic. Am vrut sa merg la un post de politie sa sesizez acest lucru insa la ora 16 aproximativ iar secția era închisă. Concluzie NICIODATA NU MERGETI AICI decât dacă vreți un cancer de plămâni sau vreți să fiți spulberați de basculante care fac curse de nebuni sau vreți să vedeți cum ar arăta plantele daca ar fi gri. Am văzut commenturi de oameni mulțumiți și aici exista două situații: 1.Sunt persoane care au mers în sezonul rece și nu se ridica nenorocirea aia de praf Sunt cocalari cu BMW din 2000 adus din Germania,cu blugi stransi pe picior și ouțe (evident deasupra glesnelor) și cu pițipoanca corespunzătoare care desigur că nu poate cara poșeta pe jos pe acest traseu...ei fiind țărănoii care trec în viteză și distrug tot...
