Friday Escapes: Piatra Mare Cabin Hike(

Date: Friday, March 20, 2026

Meeting point: Dambul Morii / Timisul de Jos or we depart together from Bucharest by minibus or personal cars.

The Story of Our Trail

We travel Friday morning towards the Postavaru Mountains and park in the Dambul Morii area. From here, we set off on the forest path, climbing steadily towards Piatra Mare Cabin. We will use snowshoes (provided by us) only if the snow layer requires it.

Once at the cabin, depending on the weather and group dynamics, we will also climb Piatra Mare Peak, from where we will admire spectacular views over the area. At the cabin, we take a well-deserved break and enjoy the famous potato soup with tarragon. After the meal, we descend on a different route back to Dambul Morii.
