Route
1. The route which I really like to do, begins from Piata Mica in Sibiu, then it heads towards Poplaca on the Calea Poplacii.
2. Continue to Gura Riului through a very beautiful open road, with cultivated fields and hills and mountains in the backround. The views of farmland and villages in the rolling valleys are amazing.
3. From Gura Riului take the road signed to Orlat, then on to the villages of Sibiel, Saliste and then back to Sibiu via the E81 international European road.
Time then for coffee and cake in Piata Mare 😉
