A
must
do
when
visiting
Brasov.
Even
if
you
don’t
have
a
car,
you
can
take
a
train
from
Brasov
to
Zarnesti
(less
than
€1.5
each
way).
From
there
you
can
either
walk
for
1h
or
take
taxi
to
Fantana
Lui
Botorog
which
is
the
start
point
to
many
hikes.
The
hike
I
did
was
from
Fantana
Lui
Botorog
to
Cabana
Curmatura,
then
to
VF
Turnu,
walk
along
the
ridge
to
VF
Padina
Inchisa,
then
back
to
Curmatura
and
then
from
there
hike
the
track
to
Fantana
via
prapastiile
zarnestiului.
The
whole
hike
was
17km,
elevation
gain
1,285
and
took
around
8
hours
including
photo
stops,
rests
and
and
lunch
break.
The
loop
to
the
ridge
and
back
was
definitely
challenging,
requires
proper
hiking
boots
and
recommended
for
experienced
hikers
only
and
there
are
some
rock
scrambles
and
climbing
involved.
But
the
views
from
the
top
definitely
worth
the
challenge!!
