5 Autumn Hikes
Autumn colours are in full bloom in Sibiu! We are very much looking forward to enjoying the landscapes around, even if the air is chillier and starting to smell like snow. While browsing for hiking routes, we found an article about 5 routes fit for walking, cycling, or running, for all ages and preferences. Thank you to (c)Răzvan Morariu for the text and pictures.
Dacă a venit toamna nu înseamnă că trebuie să ne închidem în casă, sunt multe locuri de vizitat și ture de făcut în jurul Sibiului.
