Arka Park Păltiniș — Attraction in Cristian

I really like this place ❤️

For Ukrainian children under 18 years old there are indeed discounts 50% entrance.

You can buy gloves for children and adults (10 lei). Our kids said it was uncomfortable without gloves.

There is a Ukrainian instructor Demian, very clear and easy to understand 👍

Problem number one - parking 🙈 Or rather, its absence. We arrived around 12.00 and there were no places. We found only one place on the side of the road near the ditch 🙈 If we had known, we would have arrived earlier. Further behind the park there is a highway, turns, no place to park.

For long-haired girls - be careful and braid your hair 🙈 My daughter has long hair, had a ponytail and in the process of the route got into the pine resin, a lot of trees with resin 🙈 At home very long and tedious it all with oil untangled 🙈

Compared to Dragus rope park - this one has more interesting, but also difficult routes. The boy 11 years old in Dragus passed the most difficult trails without problems, here on the most difficult did not go. The instructor said that these tracks are 16+.

There are separate routes ONLY with zip-lines of different complexity.

Take some food with you. There is a cafe on the territory, but mostly coffee and tea (7 lei), sweets. I saw some burgers, but something expensive, about 50 lei 🙈

We were at the height of the heat, but the park was...

It's in a fantastic location on the side of a mountain. There were just a couple of things which lowered my rating. 1, the routes were not so easy to identify and I think a few route maps along the way would help get the best. I know there was at least one near the equipment hut but markers on the trails pointing to the next obstacle would be easy to address this. 2, the catering was non existent which seemed like a missed opportunity to seek to a captive market. We had to eat crisps for lunch. Would have stayed longer if we could have eaten. Other than that the trails were good and kept my son busy for the duration. Worth a visit but take food and warm clothes as it is in the shade...

It was raining and cold so we called up ahead. Chippy happily said that if we are up for it - then the place will be open and he'll be happy to have us. First of all - Chippy is absolutely the best manager and instructor - fun, easy going and very clear, his confidence allowed the kids (10 +12) to try the difficult routes right up to their own physical limits. Our 8 year old girl is handicapped, but Chippy happily offered to give her omega rides for free. We cannot recommend this place enough and the kids said it was the best day they could remember, so what more can parents ask for? Finally Chippy made hot tea and chocolate free of charge offered to our soaked...
