    Big Natural Area with wild wood. One of the nice things in romania is the wild nature. If you go little bit abroad the tourists ways you can enjoy the pure nature. A lot of caves and waterfalls and traditional houses on the mountains!

    Apuseni Natural Park is one of the most beautiful areas in Romania. It is located in the west of country, in the central-northwestern part of the Apuseni Mountains, on the administrative territory of three counties -Cluj, Bihor and Alba. The oldest tourist routes in the area of ​​the current Apuseni Natural Park date back to the 1900s.

    The western part of Romanian mountains has not such high peaks as Fagaras or Retezat massive, but it is on the other side much more accessible to all visitors. It’s wise spread of caves and small peaks gives you breathtaking views and experience. You can find many cabanas in modern or traditional style located within Apuseni center.

    Apuseni Natural Park is a place you need to visit more than once. With its breathtaking views, its pristine waters, and luxurious vegetation, it is beautiful as it is refreshing. It makes you feel great. It make want to stay. Or at least to come back.

    It's a lovely place all year round, either for skiing in the cold months, take a hike on its vast number of scenic trails through forests, mountains or canyons or do all kind of crazy extreme stuff you can think about , from exploring new caves to rock climbing and so on, it offers you all for a reasonable price, but there's a but, some trails are unmarked / poorly marked /marks destroyed so having a map and a compass or phone with gps is a must, ski slopes are rather basic, accommodation and free time / shopping options are limited/ basic or terrible, not to mention access roads, still, nature is nature and is beautiful no matter what

  • 4/5 C_ristiro 2 years ago on Google
    Its alright for people to visit and explore the country. This park is very big and you can't visit even in one week.Its good to stay a quick turn for 3 days and go home and the next year the same. I repeat it's a good place, but too exosting to stay a lot here.

    A wonderful nature park. Feels like hiking in moominvalley, great for experienced hikers and for beginners. One downside is that there are no good roads surrounding the park and getting here by public transit is not exactly possible.

    (Translated by Google) It should be protected more. It is a national fortune. We need to be more loving with nature. Let's actively militate in environmental organizations. The country is looted because no one is publicly protesting. (Original) Ar trebui protejat mai mult. Este o avuție națională. Trebuie sa ne arătăm mai iubitori față de natură. Să militam activ în organizații de protecția mediului. Tara e jefuită pentru că nimeni nu protestează public.

    (Translated by Google) The Padis Plateau is a dream location for both families with children and professionals (climbers, cyclists, etc.). The access from Boga to Padis is very good, the road is paved and clean. It is a symbol of Untamed Romania, which I love! (Original) Platoul Padiș este o locație de vis atât pentru familii cu copiii cât și pentru profesioniști (alpiniști, bicicliști, etc). Accesul din Boga până în Padiș este foarte bun, drumul este asfaltat și curat. Este un simbol al României Neîmblânzite, pe care o iubesc!

    Very worth going there. We first were near Smida and camped there at a river which was wonderful. Then we went to the campsite glăvoi but the road from Smida to padis is extremly bad. Go this way only with an jeep or an other offroad car. From glăvoi you can visit many caves and waterfalls. The hiking is tough but worth it.

    Wild nature, interesting rural civilization and a long tradition of freedom fighting! Plan a few days hiking, enjoy the views and the fruits of the nature (mushrooms, berries, nuts, wild cherries, herbs, and many more). Stay at locals (the famous Motz), eat with them and strike friendship with these proud and fair people.

    (Translated by Google) Nice, too bad there aren't many trees left. In the parking lot in the south next to the administration cottage, they are full of garbage. A lot has been done, but more effort is needed. It has been cut a lot, and it is still being cut. I only saw one nursery, from Ic Ponoro. I hope there are others. (Original) Frumos, pacat ca nu prea mai sunt copaci. In parcarea din sudrigiu de langa cabana administratiei sunt plin de gunoaie. S-a facut mult, mai trebuie insa depus efort. S-a si taiat mult, si inca se taie. O singura pepiniera am vazut, ce de la Ic Ponoro. Sper sa mai fie si altele.

    One of the most beautiful places in Europe and that is not an exagerration. The Apuseni are largely unspoiled and have not been overrun by tourists. That is both a downside (not well know, facilities sometimes really poor) and an upside (peace and quiet, not ruined by mankind). Looking for a place of the beaten track... here it is!
