Poiana Stânei Regale — Attraction in Sinaia

The views are indeed amazing, the way up is a bit steap, so take it easy. If you have some prior training, it shouldn't give you any sence of dizziness.

Also be aware of bears , is their territory- it is indicated to travel with more people or in bigger groups . We were just two of us - but there were quite a lot of other tourists . We hike around noon . On the way back we made 35 min until the bottom of the track and another 25 min till...

Lovely wild place. 30 min by car from Sinaia, 1h and something by foot. The road is accessible, remember this is a mountain/forest road so don't expect asphalt. From time to time it gets bumpy, just drive slowly or better yet, start walking. It's a gorgeous hike. At the moment there's no restaurant open so plan ahead. You will get hungry after the hike. If you get thirsty, there is a...
