Just 20 km away from Cluj, along the valleys of the Apuseni Mountains, the nature offers to the guests a true land of fairy tales. Gallery of landscapes that offers is as spreaded as highlsnders villages in the area. Crags interweaved with alpine meadows, forests of deciduous pushed through coniferous receding slowly till firs kingdom, cold streams, more jumping or quick-tempered but in no case quiet, filling a chain of lakes reminiscent of the Alps and everywhere, scattered from hill to valley, looking like sown by a giant farmer, houses and outbuildings of the Mocan people.
