Day Trip: Întorsura Buzăului, Urlătoarea Waterfall, and the Zimbrilor Valley in Călărași
About This Tour
Fall beckons us to the mountains for a getaway where we leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and set out to discover places where nature reigns supreme. This day trip is the perfect opportunity to explore picturesque landscapes, breathe in the fresh forest air, and capture the wild beauty of our mountains in photos.
Our route begins with a refreshing stop at Urlătoarea Waterfall in Vama Buzăului, where the sound of the water and the natural setting create a fairytale atmosphere. After a dose of pure nature, we’ll head to the Sita Buzăului Monastery, a welcoming monastic settlement where we’ll find a few moments of tranquility and inner peace. The day continues with a very special visit to the Valea Zimbrilor Nature Reserve, giving us the chance to admire these fascinating creatures up close—a true symbol of nature’s power.
The adventure concludes in grand style at the Siriu Dam, one of the most beautiful reservoirs in Romania.
