One-day trip to the Bulz Festival in Întorsura Buzăului, Urlătoarea Waterfall, and Sita Buzăului Monastery, departing from Călărași, Lehliu-Gară, and Bucharest
About This Tour
Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and set out on a day trip dedicated to Romanian flavors and mountain scenery. Our first stop takes us deep into nature, to Urlătoarea Waterfall, where the cool, crisp October air, combined with the roar of the water, provides the perfect setting for relaxation and unwinding. The journey then continues to Sita Buzăului Monastery, an oasis of peace and architectural harmony, where the tranquility of the place recharges your batteries ahead of the festivities.
The highlight of the day is the Bulz Festival in Întorsura Buzăului, an event where local cuisine and Transylvanian traditions are elevated to an art form. The aroma of polenta baked over hot coals and melted burduf cheese greets you right at the entrance, inviting you to sample the dishes prepared by local households. The entire experience is complemented by traditional music, good cheer, and the unique energy of an authentic rural celebration—from which you’ll return home with beautiful memories and a longing to return.
