2. • Măgura village is located in Brasov county, only 35 km from Brasov
city. If you are familiar with the Bran – Moeciu area, very popular
among tourists due to the Bran Castle and the vampires & Dracula
stories, you only have to look for Moeciu de Jos and from there the
paved road takes you to Pestera village. To reach Magura you have to
follow the country road for a few more kilometers.
• The second route, from Rasnov through Zarnesti, is more spectacular
because it goes through a mountain corridor that climbs up to 1,000 –
1,200 m altitude starting from Fantana lui Botorog. The country road
that winds amongst dense forests and crystal rivers, though full of
pits and stones, may reward you with the most incredible surprise:
you can catch a glimpse of a deer or a wild boar. Home to many
species of animals and plants, the Piatra Craiului.

3. The village where you won’t get bored
There are plenty of things to do in Magura and if you want to experience a
little of each, I suggest you take a few days to discover the area. The place
is preferred by families with children, cyclists, mountain explorers,
climbers and photo enthusiasts.
A walk from Magura to Pestera village will help you discover the locals
and their traditional healthy products, and feel what countryside life on top
of the mountain means. You will not get enough of this landscape, often
compared to the ones in Austria or Switzerland, made up of mountain
ridges and hills with sheep flocks. The color splash during autumn season
is incredible and in winter time it is like being in a fairy tale.
If you’re a trail running passionate, this is the perfect place to both exercise
and enjoy fresh air while admiring the amazing panoramic view over the
Bucegi and the Piatra Craiului Mountains.

4. • Plenty of tourist attraction nearby
• In Pestera village you will discover Pestera Liliecilor, a true
monument of nature and protected area. The cave has a surface
of 1.5 hectares and shelters numerous species of bats, but it
also has many calcareous formations, called tears of the earth.
• A trip to Zarnesti, an enchanting city, with beautiful houses
and eye-catching mountain scenery, is also worthwhile.
• Near the city, the Liberty Bear Sanctuary awaits its visitors
who want to see how 70 hectares of forest have become home
for rescued brown bears. There, you can even adopt a bear, as
the 100 hungry little bears there need about two tons of food
every day.
• Visit Rasnov fortress, a historic monument and landmark in
Romania, in the beautiful city of Rasnov where every year, in
August, rockers gather to attend Rockstadt Extreme Fest.

5. • The challenges of a holiday in paradise
• Magura village has few guest houses and
even fewer places where you can eat. To look
for the best deal, check presenting
accommodation facilities. It is not an easily
accessible area, but even so, the tourists
made their way here, and holiday homes and
boarding began, slowly, slowly, to rise.
• Magura village has drawn attention to the
British publication Financial Times, which
made a feature about Arabella McIntyre-
Brown, a British writer who chose to retire to
Magura in 2000. In the interview, the author
confesses what made her stay in
Romania: "Initially I chose the Magura
village, not the country! But as time passed, I
was able to visit more regions, to meet more
people, to make friends, to love Romania
altogether."
