Magdalena
After about a 100 km upstream in the Apuseni mountains, we'd like to call it a day, and find a place to put up our tent. The area around Campeni is somewhat densely populated; as such we feel more comfortable if we get permission for doing so.
The spot we choose is along the river Aries, a meadow. We inquire by a woman, who is watching two girls plunging in the river, how we can get permission for putting up our tent. She does ...

Anyone who is in the ...
Climbing the Székely Rock Day2 (PART1)
... it's top where one could see the sky from the inside on one of the western slopes of the rock. From there, we hoped to possibly climb up in the cave to the top opening, and then continue to the top of the Székely Rock to the plateu where a castle once stood. There we would find a spring with fresh mountain water as well as countless treasures that were left behind by the castle folk. Again, this was the PLAN.
In actuality, we were thrown off from our indended ...
