Brassói-hegyek

The mountains in the Bârsa Depression include the massifs around Brașov, Postăvaru and Piatra Mare respectively. Given the close to Brașov, the routes in these mountains, although they do not reach high altitudes, are an alternative to those in the resorts on Prahova Valley. Hiking in the Bârsa Mountains is also accessible for children, and many of the trails are perfect for mountain biking. A climb to the Postavaru or Piatra Mare chalets is rewarded not only with a delicious meal but also with superb panoramas.

    Wir waren ohne Auto und ohne spezielle Wanderausrüstung in Brasov und sind den Teil von Poiana Brasov (Anfahrt mit Buslinie 20) über Poiana lui Stechil zum Startpunkt und dann weiter über den Tampa und den Serpentinenweg zurück in die Stadt gelaufen. Sehr schöne Wanderung, denk des hohen Waldes auch an sonnigen Tagen. In dieser Richtung (also entgegen der beschriebenen Wanderung) folgt dies zunächst der Markierung "blaues Dreieck", später dem weiß/blau/weiß-Streifen.

    Moderate Forrest and mountain route starting with a challenging ascent up Tampa then along the crest of the mountain to Poiana Brasov. Then it’s back to Brasov via the more popular - but equally beautiful - mountain route passing Solomon’s Stones (Pietrele Lui Solomon).

    Steep, hard ascent, beautiful view of Brasov and steep descent with tons of slippery, pointy rocks. Use walking poles to reduce frustration and cursing.
