La Busuri Camp

The local mountain range is the forested Pădurea Craiului, home to a vast network of limestone caves. If you’d like to explore underground, several are open for guided tours. Farcu Crystal Cave (15 minutes) is swathed in glittering calcite, while Vadu Crișului Cave (55 minutes) and Meziad Cave (45 minutes) both have an impressive array of stalactites and stalagmites. When you’d rather stay above ground, you can try out via ferrata climbing routes among the limestone karsts at Cheile Cuților (10 minutes) and Cheile Lazuri (15 minutes) – the latter follows the course of a small gorge. There’s also plenty of hiking through forests and across plateaus; take the testing route up to Izbucul Roșiei waterfall (an hour and 40 minutes’ walk), or try the gentle trail through the Dâlbii Valley (three hours). Cyclists get their moment too, with eight way-marked trails of varying difficulty through the Craiului forests. Guests aged 16 or over can hire bikes on site and set out to discover the untamed landscapes surrounding La Busuri Camp.
