1. Ciucas Peak
This is the highest peak of the Ciucaș Mountains, in the Southern Carpathians, and it has a height of 1,954 meters. The hiking track is ideal for beginners, and all you need is a good pair of boots and a raincoat. The easiest way to get there is by heading to Cabana Ciucas (Ciucaș Lodge) via DN1, although you'll need an off-road vehicle since the terrain is quite steep in some places. Otherwise, you'll have to hire a vehicle or leave your car at the base of the mountain and walk for about an hour. Once you reach the lodge, you'll have to climb for approximately 2 hours and you're there. And the view is totally worth it.

7. The Clay Castle in Valea Zanelor
Located only 40 kilometers away from Sibiu, Valea Zanelor looks like a place that was supposed to be part of a fairy-tale, but it somehow got mixed up and ended up in our Universe. Unfortunately, you currently can't stay at the castle, but it can still be visited. And with its white walls and rounded roofs, even Bilbo Baggins will want to visit it.

8. The Sphinx
This natural rock formation located in the Bucegi Natural Park, at an altitude of 2,216 meters. Some legends claim that the rock was not formed by wind and erosion but rather carved by hand by the old Dacians. Nonetheless, it is a truly fascinating landmark and it can make up for some beautiful shots for your Instagram account.
