It was one of my old desires to get to the Ciucas Mountains. I had already looked at the map, the hiking trails, and I knew them from the outside. Everything was ready for us to climb the mountain. <\/span><\/p>\n

USEFUL INFO:<\/span><\/strong> The Ciuca\u0219 Mountains are beautiful in themselves. But it can make it even more beautiful when Rhododendron is just blooming. Its name also suggests that the plant lives above the pine forests, where the winter is not too harsh, the spring is cool and humid, and the summer is warm and humid. This beautiful flower blooms at a different time in each mountain and lasts for about 2 weeks during the peak flowering time. In the Ciuca\u0219 Mountains, it\u2019s worth a try in the month of June (first two weeks) to get a good photo.<\/span><\/p>\n
