Sphinx — Attraction in Slătioara

Well known place where nature can show that can be an amazing artist.

The gondola from Busteni parked about 300 meters from the Sphinx😅 I took the gondola down to Busteni and had to take a taxi from there and to Sinaia to...

The Sphinx is one of the most remarkable attractions in the Bucegi National Park.

It is a place of great beauty, sacred to many for its monumental presence, and an unforgettable experience to reach, especially by hiking the trails rather than taking the cable car.

I cannot recommend enough that anyone visiting should see these monuments and feel the true bond with Nature and the majestic Bucegi Mountains.

Good luck, and enjoy the beauty, for its legacy will forever live in the hearts and eyes of those who...
