[Romania] Hiking and camping at the Capra Lake

[Romania] Discovering Sibiu’s regions – #5: The Olt Land

[Romania] Valea lui Stan (Stan’s Valley)
Stan’s Valley is an adventure. And a beauty. And unbelievable landscapes. And recently new ladders and climbing props have been added all over the valley so we had to do it.
