Wander on a light cycling tour near Brasov all the way to the Orthodox Monastery in Cristian village and then through the Secular oak forest, enjoying a well-deserved traditional lunch made by the people in the village. ( lunch not included )
The meeting point is at our office in Brasov, where we will get the bikes from. After getting familiarized with them, we will start cycling to Cristian village.
On the way to the village, we will visit the “Sfantu Efrem cel Nou” Monastery. As the head of the Monastery says: “The Monastery was born from the citizen's will to find spiritual guidance and peace. It is the first Orthodox Monastery built so close to Brasov and represents a building that citizens of Cristian are very fond of.”
Afterward, we will continue our journey through the secular oak forest which is declared to be a natural monument and is protected by law. Some of the oak trees are over 400 years old and the forest represents the last piece of a very old forest that stretched in Tara Barsei. The oak tree also stands as the symbol used for Cristian's Coat of Arms.
The last stop on our way back to Brasov is at a well-known traditional cuisine restaurant in Cristian, where we will be served local goodies and enjoy the sunshine on the terrace. ( local goodies not included)
