This summer the happy backpacking hikers came from the other side of the world, f… (>>>)

Walking tour in Carpathian mountains, Transylvanian hills

Was a walking tour in Piatra Craiului national park, and the mountains villages from the area of Bucegi mountains. Dr. Zauke came to Romania for an extended holiday, and also was coming to meet his daugther Claudia, who is  free travelling journeywoman, working as a roof maker. I meet the  this type of persons, free travelling journeyman, back in 2003, when I work with some of them at Valea Sambetei hut, in Fagaras mountains!
