One weekend mid-August, we packed our tent and camping gear in search of some milder temperatures, away from the unbearable summer heat wave in the city. The Făgăraș Mountains are always a convenient option for us, so here are, daughter included, spending a full weekend at high altitudes.

Summer is definitely for high altitudes. And the Făgăraș Mountains are so close by, that for us, a few days off from work, a good weather forecast and a couple of friends easily turn into a nice hike up on the ridge.

Biking has been one of my favorite outdoor activities since forever (thanks, mom&dad, for buying me my first bike when I was about 7 and getting the chance to spend all of my childhood summers riding a bike in the countryside).
