I consider that nature is very inspiring⛰Nature is full of energy, mystery and bless, nature is the home for each living being. But it really hurts to see how people treat it: they spoil soil, they cover it with trash, they cut forests and drain rivers… How long our Planet will endure it? ⠀ I’m happy to visit such beautiful places, because they show how our majestic Planet could look like. Do you take care of what surrounds you or do you think that there must be organizations that will “clean” all corners of our world and other people just don’t need care of the Planet? ⠀⠀ #transfagarasan #mountains #nature #ig_Romania #Romania #photographer #nofixedaddress #campeveryday #theglobewonderer #welivetoexplore #ourplanetdaily #speechlessplaces #localsmd #travel #visualambassadors #modernoutdoors #awakethesoul #theoutbound #wanderfolk #lensbible #folkgreen #allaboutadventures

The lakes in Fagaras

The glacial lakes in Făgăraș are big and very beautifully located between high cliffs and they have great views. For instance, during this hiking in Fagaras, Romania, we will pass and see these lakes and you will have the chance to take some great photos.

The hut in Fagaras, Romania

The hut we will sleep in (Podragu hut at 2136 metres alt.) offers modest shelter. But it has nice views and good vibes, as many hikers gather around for a hot tea or wine in the evening after reaching the highest peaks of Făgăraș.

P.S. Don’t forget to kiss the donkeys at the hut!

The untamed nature in Romania
