Winter activities

        

Winter is the most beautiful season in our village. It usually lasts from the end of October to the beginning of April. You not only feel to have been transferred into a fairytale, but also have the impression of time standing still.

But don't worry, we'll keep you active!

Enjoy sledge rides down the volcano crater to the frozen lake of St. Anna. You will be pulled back up the crater by an off-road vehicle before you can rush down again. From the top of the volcano there are beautiful views of the snowy hills below.  Many bear tracks can be found around the lake, and although bears tend to hibernate, they always get up now and then to move their limbs a little.

Skiing. During the day you can ski at Poiana Brasov resort.  A free shuttle gets you there in about  one hour, situated at 1900 m altitude with 13 trails in all range of difficulties, an average annual snowfall of 70 cm, 8 drag lifts, 3 cable cars, 1 skating yard, 2 sledge pists. The longest slope is 3.8 km long. In the evening you will return to our cozy Miklosvar cottage .

Tracking in the wild. After snowfall our wildlife guide will let you discover the traces of all large and small carnivores and mammals (incl. bear, wolf, lynx, etc) and observe birds you might not see in other parts of Europe.

 

Horse-sleigh riding. We have several sleighs in our village. You will be taken for a ride equipped with a fur blanket and muffs  to keep  your hands and knees warm . Our guests often see deer and other animals during their ride.

The ice gorge and cave. You can cross the river on the ice to reach the Pied Piper's cave. In it's entrance hall hundreds of man-high stalagmites of ice are growing, resembling transparent-blue shapes of children.

Culture. And, of course, all of our cultural sites can also be visited in winter. Our vehicles are well equipped for winter conditions.
