So enjoy these great photographs of Romania and add it to the bucket list!

Looking over the high ridge of the Fagaras Mountains and its steep and often slippery slopes, barren and rocky, which visually lead to Transylvania far into the horizon from atop the Negoiu Peak, the second highest mountain in Romania. Above there is a thick layer of dark clouds which as we hiked back to Balea Lake turned into a long storm.
