Walking on the trails of the Cindrel mountains, you can glance clusters of sheepfolds scattered all over the edges of the massifs; they are skillfully led by shepherds always eager to talk to you, to share a bit of their life stories. The glades covered by colorful flower carpets are a great occasion to have a rest and enjoy the tranquility of the nature. MountainGuide-Sibiu suggests you an exciting hiking tour on the mountain trails in the area of Mărginimea Sibiului where we’ll learn more about the so-called “transhumanţă” phenomenon, one of the very well preserved traditions in the Cindrel Mountains
Our day starts with the transfer to the bottom of the Cindrel mountains, from where we will start climbing up on a narrow shady path that leads us to an alpine glade; from here, we’ll continue our route till we reach the imposing mountaintops of the Cindrel massif. On the edge of the soft summit lies a traditional picturesque sheepfold. It’s the perfect place to have a rest, enjoy the astonishing view and learn about the daily simple life of the shepherds. We’ll savor the delicious lamb and milk specialties skillfully prepared by the shepherds: different types of cheese (telemea, caş, urdă, burduf, jintiţă), pastrami and bacon, are just a few of the delicious products that, together with the “golden” polenta shall make you drool over...
