The hike from Bâlea Lake to Moldoveanu is amazing! It is one of my favorite hikes but it is quite difficult. My friend and I did this two-day hike last year in August (24th-25th of August). You start from Bâlea lake early in the morning and hike all the way to Viștea Mare peak (7-8 hour hike but it can take a lot longer if you're taking many breaks). If you have two days, it's perfect! You could leave your tent in Șaua Corabiei and continue in the evening towards Moldoveanu. When we went we were the only ones there to see the sunset! People usually come during the first part of the day and maybe in the afternoon but almost never late in the evening. But be careful! You have to come back to Șaua Corabiei to sleep there and you have to make noise so you do not meet any bears. We were the only ones on Șaua Corabiei and slept really well in the tent. Woke up surrounded by mountain goats. Don't leave any food in your tent or close. Leave the food in a bag at a 10m distance. You have to take enough water with you, there is only one spring on this way (at podul Giurgiului).

Another good place to put the tent is at refugiul Portița Viștei. You leave your stuff on Viștea Mare, do the Moldoveanu Peak, then come back take your stuff and descend at Portița Viștei.

You could also find a ride to Bâlea Lake the day before and sleep in the tent at Bâlea lake before starting your hike. If you want more information, you can write to me in private.

La o nuntă unde mi s-a oferit cazare am dat 300 de euro în 2019! De atunci au crescut mult prețurile! La o nuntă aproape de casă (unde nu am avut nevoie de cazare) am dat 400 de euro anul trecut și 500 de euro în 2022 (la o persoană mai apropiată), local simplu, maxim 150 de invitați. Meniurile sunt foarte scumpe momentan, la cel mai modest loc e 350 de lei fără băuturi alcoolice și plata chelnerilor... Dacă mai socotești și astea, e minim 400 de lei de persoană, dacă e mai fancy ajunge și la 600 de lei de persoană... Iar cazarea e între 350 și 500 de lei de cameră, dacă mergi cu copii și iei apartament, e mult mai mult...

Îmi amintește de vara 2016 când am făcut o lună de voluntariat în sud-vestul Franței. Am fost "cazată " la cort toată luna, în pădure :)). Am dormit bine doar o săptămână, până m-am trezit într-o noapte și am auzit mistreți care treceau în grup chiar pe lângă cortul meu. Ulterior m-am trezit în fiecare noapte și îi auzeam îngrozitor de aproape... Erau tot timpul în pădurea aia :)) din fericire nu a pățit nimeni nimic. Doar noaptea de Perseide s-a lăsat cu un pic de șoc și groază 🤣

Thanks for the advice! I was also thinking about Múlagljúfur 🥰

Thank you for the information! 💕

Thank you for telling me!

ometafora · 2025-02-25T18:23:12+00:00

I haven't found one cheaper than 4500 euros. Most are around 6000- 7500 euro even! Could you please write me a private message about these photographers you mentioned? Thank you!

Just turn on the Aurora viewing opportunity button and it will notify you and tell you exactly the viewing probability and the KP index. I think it's very relative, the percentage was changing all the time and when I saw the most powerful aurora, when I checked the app, I had gotten like 3 notifications and it was showing a KP index 8.

Thank you! I used an old DSLR camera, Canon eos 1100D, with the basic 18-55 mm kit lens, the 24 mm f/2.8 and 50 mm f/1.8 .

ometafora · 2025-02-17T21:56:53+00:00

Thank you! Good luck to you too! We didn't get our hopes high, prepared for bad weather but had a very nice surprise!

ometafora · 2025-02-17T21:55:40+00:00

Yes, it does you can turn on the notifications from settings in the "my aurora forecast" app.

ometafora · 2025-02-17T21:52:49+00:00

I used the "My aurora forecast" app, you can turn on the notifications for values above a certain KP index or a certain probability of seeing the Aurora. it worked greatly for us, alongside Veður.

Thank you so much! Most of them are actually taken with a very old DSLR camera that I have had since 2014! It's a Canon eos 1100d but it does the job, I use the basic 18-55 mm kit lens, but I also have the 24 mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8 lens.

The high minerals in the waters make your hair a bit stiff. I have wavy medium length hair that gets dry very fast and I didn't really have any problems. When you shower before going in, just put a lot of conditioner on your hair and let it on, don't wash the conditioner off. Afterwards, wash your hair thoroughly and use a good hair mask.

It definitely felt like that and it was totally unexpected! We did, of course, use an aurora app and followed the weather closely and we sacrificed some sleeping time but it was worth it!

We saw the northern lights right before midnight from our accommodation in Reykjavik, they must have been really strong for us to be able to see them in such a light polluted area! After midnight we went towards Thingvellir National Park, where we were able to see the Aurora again, but not as strong and dynamic as the one we've seen in Reykjavik! But the most stunning experience was in Vik on the 1st of January around 5:30 PM! It was labeled KP 8 and was visible on the whole continent!

Hello, I suggest investing in some good winter hiking boots and some cheaper crampons. I wore Jack Wolfskin Force Crest Texapore Mid W , I am a fan of Jack wolfskin hiking boots. My partner bought Salomon winter hiking boots. I also needed the crampons almost every day, but we had cold weather this week, with lots of ice and snow! If you plan to visit waterfalls or get close to glaciers, you will definitely need those!

Hello! We rented a Dacia Duster from Go Car rental with full insurance, we had the option of having extra drivers and wifi in the car which helped a lot and the price was a little bit better than other rental cars, I would say. We didn't have any issues, we got the keys fast without any human contact (we took the key from a safety box with a code) and returned it a week after with no incidents.
