Nu e an in care sa nu ma intorc cu placere in muntii Macinului. Am ales acelasi traseu de anul trecut insa parcurs in sens invers cu unele mici variatii. Eram curios sa explorez alta urcare catre saua Tutuiatu venind dintre vest, decat cea cu traseul de cicloturism. Deasemenea voiam sa descopar valea lui Cozluk si putin din imprejurimi inainte sa ma intorc catre Pietrele Mariei.

Traseul pe zile:

Ziua 1 - Macin - culmea Pricopanului prin Valea cu Castel - vf. Suluku Mare - saua Imbulzita - Poiana de Sus - vf. Tutuiatu prin valea Viilor

Ziua 2 - vf. Tutuiatu - poiana Racova - vf. Moroianu II - poiana Cozluk prin valea Otulu si valea lui Deda - saua Secaru - vf. Secaru - Pietrele Mariei - Greci

Situat chiar la granița dintre județele Vrancea și Galați, în Delta Siretului. Locația este destul de spectaculoasă pentru că transformă o fostă zonă de balastiere într-un complex turistic cu canale, bungalouri plutitoare și o fermă de păstrăvi. Există și fermă de animale, dar și livezi de fructe, alături de un restaurant pescăresc.

Hey guys!

My girlfriend and I took a short trip to Romania and it was one of the best trips in our lives, but we had one negative experience and I feel I need to warn people about it.

We visited the castles of Peles and Bran on the same day, and Bran castle was arguably the biggest sightseeing disappointment I've had in my entire life. For the record, we know it's not Vlad's actual castle (and we know Vlad Tepes wasn't actually a vampire), but we wanted to see it since everyone said it was a "must-see" in Romania because of how well kept it is to this day.

That turned out to be a terrible decision as this was the most ill-organized tourist attraction I've ever seen in my life. I won't go into the details (you can read them in my Google review - screenshots attached), but I wanted to warn you about Bran castle removing negative reviews.

After returning to our hotel in the evening I wrote an honest review, and after a few hours I checked other reviews (sorted by newest), and found hundreds (and I'm not exaggerating here - literally hundreds) of negative reviews saying more or less the same thing I said as well.

Today, however, there are almost no negative reviews left from the past weekend (which is when we went and when I left the review). If you go to Bran castle on Google Maps and sort by newest reviews, you'll see only a few negative ones and hundreds of positive ones.

I don't know how they did this and I don't know if this is a common practice with other tourist attractions around the world, but they're somehow getting Google to remove negative reviews.

However this didn't sour our trip to Romania - it's a beautiful country, and even though many Redditors said that Bucharest is the most overrated city in Europe, we found it very interesting.

Turda - salt mine
