Camping Ananas

A visit to Sibiu (15 minutes’ drive) should certainly be on the cards here – the medieval city centre is lovely for a wander, with various intriguing sights like the Bridge of Lies and Stairs Tower as well as the ‘Eyes of Sibiu’ (the rooftop windows resembling eyelids). There are also several good museums and a zoo to visit, and some great cafés and places to eat tucked away around the historic squares. Heading out into the countryside, another popular outing takes you to Ocna Sibiulu (35 minutes), a series of saltwater lakes said to have healing properties (some are so salty you can even float on them). It’s easy to spend a few hours here, as the park has food options and space to sunbathe, plus mud lakes to enhance your ‘natural spa’ experience. Elsewhere nearby, you may like to take a dip into local crafts at "Astra" National Museum Complex or Cisnădie Textile Museum (both 10 minutes) or stroll around the pretty village of Sibiel (half an hour) before visiting its Priest Zosim Oancea Museum, home to a large colourful collection of icons on glass.
