You start out from a typical village with a white unitarian church. The walk starts in a beech wood, then you arrive to a great open meadow of gently rolling hills. Lots of limestone scattered, the whole area is dotted
with lonesome trees and you will see some animals grazing. You walk alternately
in open terrain and ddense woods, mostly beech and hornbeam, some pines here
and there. These are the last outcrops of the apuseni Mountains, so you will
have an unhindered vista of the inner rolling plateau of middle-Transylvania.

have overcomed them. Under your feet lies the beautiful village of Rimetea.

section of our walk. in the scenic villega of Rimetea, we have time to visit
the small museum and drink a couple beers, or you can spend the night here.
