After many years of no hiking we have decided to join a 2 day trip organised by the local branch of the Erdélyi Kárpát Egyesület.
It was our very first family hike and we were looking forward to it. One of our aims was also to slowly introduce our younger daughter (10) to the world and beauty of nature that is so nearby. We started at the Șapte Scări Canyon which these days is far too busy. Especially after the ladders were replaced and the safety of the climb raised.
Anyone who would really like to see it, though should go there in a week-day or early enough to avoid the queue which could be nearly 2 hours (!). That happened to us on a long weekend when it seemed the whole world wanted to go to the same place. It can really take away your mood if you are not prepared.
