All about the trip

Scăriţa Belioara lies in the Apuseni Mountains (their name translates as “Mountains of the sunset”), waiting to be discovered by those few, who are able to truly relish its relaxing, pristine and authentic feel. This place is beautiful throughout the year; however, the spring endemic flowers and the autumn colors painting the landscape, make this place truly dreamlike.

Our hike will start in the Muntele Băişorii resort, on a trail that begins from the peak of the mountain, at about 1300 meters altitude. We will follow it, weaving through the landscape, over the meadows and glades, passing by long-forgotten picturesque wooden huts, towards Scăriţa Belioara.

The reserve’s giant walls, towers, caves and sharp rocky peaks will undoubtedly impress you, as they seem quite foreign to this place. Besides its beauty, this nature reserve is one of the most important and spectacular in Romania, due to the large diversity of rare plants growing here.

At the end of the hike, we will reach the village of Poşaga de Sus, where we will pass through the Gorge of Poşaga and visit the old wooden church, built in the 1700s.

This is a moderate 5,5 - 6 hour hiking with 600 meters elevation.
