Trip to the Mesozoic

This summer we are going to Romania to visit family and friends and are planning a trip to the Piatra Craiului Mountains.  We will spend at least a couple of days hiking the Mesozoic reef buildups in the area, and will enjoy some of the most amazing scenery in the Southern Carpathians.  Our first excursion will most likely be on the Northern side of the mountains, from the town of Zarnesti (link in Romanian) to Turnu and Padina Popii Peaks via Padina Hotarului.  A fun hike with about 1200m of elevation gain.
