Exactly (but mostly just during the daytime)! 😄

Glad you found it useful!

Yes, that's correct, it's one-way, just down.

Yes, very spectacular viewpoints!

Thank you Jim, I hope to stay healthy as long as possible because the world has so much to offer!

Thank you 👍

Tureni is just a small village, no options to hire there. Your best chances would be in Cluj, but I'm not aware of specifics. As an alternative you could try asking people on Facebook groups with spare kits to join you on the hike.

No, there are no bears in Hoia-Baciu forest as it's very close to the city. Only birds, foxes, deer and perhaps wild boar.

Thank you for the visit!

Great, have a nice time!

No, I don't, but shoot me an email if I can help you with that :)

Actually I have been inside only the one at Tihuta Pass and of course passed by the other ones as well :)

I haven't seen one, but the shepherds told me that their flock was attacked right under Peak Suru and the bear even went close to Suru Hut. So you must be careful as usual in places with high bear activity, I'm planning on a video about this topic actually.

@@TransylvanianHikerEN I am thinking about going to Romania to hike, but I am weary of bears as we dont have them here and I read to much stuff concerning bears at your country. is there anywhere a spot that is safe?

If you want to play it safe, you should certainly avoid Bucegi Mountains, Harghita, Covasna, and Mureș counties, and unfortunately lately the Transfăgărășan road. The farther from civilization the safer. You should be relatively safe in the Apuseni mountain range or in Retezat Mountains (except Retezatul Mic the Small Retezat), just don't do anything stupid like leaving your food or your trash in your tent. It's also a good idea to make some noise at regular intervals, especially around sunrise and sunset.

Thank you! Will do!

Hello! On a previous trip to this area, we had our accommodation in Chișcău, which is a village, but you can also visit Bear's Cave (Peștera Urșilor) there. But you have to drive a little up into the mountains from there. There are some small towns relatively close to Apuseni, like Beiuș, Ștei, Huedin, and Câmpeni, accommodation should be cheap there. The closest cities are Cluj and Oradea, but you have to drive around 100km from there to get to Apuseni Mountains. If you want close access to the mountains, I would probably look at Beliș, Arieșeni, or Padiș. Also be careful, between Doda Pilii and Padiș, even if Google Maps and Waze are recommending it, the route is almost impossible with a small car, ideally, you need a 4x4 for that (or a lot of patience).

I can imagine it was much more dangerous back then. When visiting Iceland, where still a lot of roads are unpaved I experienced that it clearly makes the car more unstable on the steep portions.

We actually planned to do the Barranco del Masca hike, from Masca all the way down to the beach, brought our helmets on the plane all the way from home, but skipped the hike in the end, because the gorge was closed for safety reasons (falling rocks), and we were still kind of exhausted after hiking Teide :)

@@TransylvanianHikerEN Gotcha. If we ever make it back, we definitely want to do the Barranco del Masca hike. I hear that you have to go on a waiting list a year out from doing the hike.

Wow, crazy, I didn't know that.

Thank you for the nice words, means a lot coming from a talented cinematographer like you!

Thanks, going well, hope you're doing ok too!

I'm brave like that 😂 Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Welcome!

It's sad that the trash makes its way even to remote places like Alaska. Hopefully we can make a change slowly!

Thank you! It was a Halloween special 🎃

Thank you! You too!

Yes, quite useful!
