If you are tired of the crowds on the Prahova Valley and you want a quiet place, with clean air and landscapes that cut your breath, I have a strong tip for you: Bilbor! It is a small and welcoming village, about 400 kilometers from Bucharest, in the middle of the Călimani Mountains, between Harghita and Suceava.
Those who choose Bilbor as a destination for a dream holiday will always remember the clean air, the richness of the area in mineral waters and the traditions kept with Bilboreni.
How do you get? Simple: avoid the agglomeration on DN1 and choose DN1A through the key. In about three hours and something you are already in Transylvania, and then the road snakes through the forests and passes through Sfântu Gheorghe and Miercurea Ciuc. When you arrive in Toplița, you follow the road to Borsec, and in about 30 minutes you are already at Bilbor, in the middle of nature, where you can enjoy an unforgettable holiday.
Alternatively, an option is at least as interesting is the road through Moldova, which connects Bucharest to Bilbor through Buzău, Bacău and Târgu Neamț. This route offers the opportunity to visit some important cultural and historical goals, such as the Fortress of Neamț, the Ion Creangă Memorial House in Humulești or the Agapia Monastery, known for the inner painting made by Nicolae Grigorescu.
What’s so special here? In addition to the landscapes that give you an instant well -being, Bilbor has springs with natural mineral water – true treasures! You can not find jewelry, but this clean and easily mineralized water is like a tonic for body and soul. You can stop at Sestina, Fundoaia or Vâlcăne you make full full from the spring. The people of the place are proud of their clean air, at over 1,000 meters altitude, and they receive you with open arms.
If you like nature, here you find hiking in Călimani in the summer, and in winter you can go with the sage on the gentle hills or warm up with a boiled wine in the yard of a traditional house. And do not forget to run to the wooden church (over 200 years old) with the dedication of Saint Nicholas, a jewel of history and tranquility.
For an unforgettable panorama, climb the Aluniș, Anunisel, Harlagia, Rachitis or Obcina From where you see the village as in a story-colors, shapes, everything perfectly arranged.
In short: Bilbor is fixed the place you need to get out of town. Every weekend spent here means time for you – you charge your batteries and enjoy the simple things: clean air, good water, nature and tranquility.
And if you plan to get to Bilbor, put on the list and the weekend June 29-30! Then Bilborenii celebrate Bilbor Days – a tradition with a tradition, a real festival: folk music, beloved artists, dances, good will and, as a special guest, F. Charm, the artist who composed and interprets a song dedicated to Bilbor.
The evening ends with fireworks and an unforgettable atmosphere, in the heart of nature, at Poiana Bilbor.
