Springtime is about to start and there are great areas for hiking not too far from Bucharest.  A great time for a weekend escape from busy Bucharest. Get into nature after a long winter break and discover some amazing places in the countryside. I would like to introduce them one by one. So here is the list:

• The classic and always crowded escape to Prahova Valley (Sinaia, Busteni, Predeal)
• A little less crowded with some spectacular places and unbeatable panorama: Rucar-Bran corridor and Piatra Craiului
• Remote and cozy: the mountains around Buzau
• Easy to reach, great for hillwalking and hiking with children: Rusenski Lom National Park in Ruse county/Bulgaria
• Walking and picnicking in Comana National Park

To be continued in my next post where I will introduce some great day hikes in Piatra Craiului area.
