What Can I Do in The Area?

Corvin Castle

 This is a beautiful, amazingly well-preserved castle in Hunedoara Romania, dating back to 1446. Definitely well worth a visit. Some say it is the best preserved castle in Romania. It is about an 1 hr 40 min drive from the cabin. The castle is rich with history, and many films have been shot here.

Retezat National Park

This stunningly beautiful national park offers beautiful hiking, camping, birdwatching, and other wildlife for any nature enthusiast. Makes for a perfect day trip, One of the more popular entrances to the park is about 45-60 min drive from the cabin., but the park runs all the way up close to the cabin. 

Muntele Mic Ski Resort

 The Muntele Mic Ski Resort is just 15 min to the lift, or 30 min to drive the whole way to the top to the resort. It is an excellent slope to learn if you are a beginner, but also has steeper runs for the more experienced. Rental equipment is available at multiple locations up there. There are several different restaurants as well. (Open only during the ski season) The ski lift passes are an electronic card, which you can buy, and use up as you want. If you still have points left on the card when you come home, you can go up at a later time and still use up those points. Check out the Resort website and slope conditions. Or see the fun others have had on Muntele Mic on their Facebook page.

Sarmizegetusa Dacian Ruins

 Close by the cabin are ruins of the old Dacian capital, and was overtaken by the Romans. The capital dates back to the first century. Ancient history… beautiful scenery there in Sarmigezetusa and on the drive there, make this a perfect place to visit for a trip back in time. If going to the Corvin Castle, this is right on the way there.

Bigar Waterfalls

The Bigar Waterfall is a most interesting waterfall, and is on the list of the 8 most unique waterfalls in the world. The water falls in little threads all across the face of a rock formation that looks like a mushroom.
