    “Mit einem Mietwagen (der in dieser Gegend sehr zu empfehlen ist!) kann man die Gegend sehr gut erkunden. Ohne Mietwagen sieht es leider schwierig aus, irgendwo hinzukommen.
    Im Nachbarort Saliste bekommt man alles was man braucht. Unter anderem gibt es eine Wechselstube, eine Metzgerei und einen Supermarkt.
    In einer halben Stunde kann man mit dem Auto relativ unkompliziert in das Stadtzentrum von Sibiu kommen. Das Städtchen ist sehr sehenswert. Die Altstadt ist ein absolutes muss. Für Leute, die gerne Fotos machen bieten sich einige wunderschöne, alte Dampflocks am Bahnhof an. Auch Museen hat es reichlich. In den Umliegenden Dörfen gibt es sehr interessante Kirchen, Ruinen und Kirchenburgen zu sehen.
    Auch ist man recht schnell in den Karpaten, wo man wundervolle Aussichten genießen kann.
    Wandern ist z.T noch etwas schwierig, da es nur wenige ausgeschriebene Wanderwege gibt. Aber wer sucht, der findet auch.
    Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden, unsere Ansprüche wurden erfüllt und wir sprechen eine klare Empfelung für Rumänien aus!”

    “Es ist ein sehr ruhiger Ort. In Vale gibt es einen kleinen Laden, in dem man das Nötigste bekommt. Käse, Eier, Wein etc. kann man frisch aus der Nachbarschaft beziehen, das ist nur zu empfehlen. In Saliste bekommt man alles für den täglichen Bedarf, dort gibt es auch einen Markt, einen Bäcker, eine Bank und eine Wechselstube. Vale ist das Tor zu den Karpaten und in dem Sinne ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen und Ausflüge in die Berge und die tiefen, ursprünglichen Wälder.”

    “Aus Richtung Ungarn kommend fährt man in Richtung Sibiu streckenweise auf einer neuen Autobahn, die allerdings noch nicht ganz durchgängig ist. Abschnittsweise muss man auf Landstraßen durch Dörfer fahren, wo man gern von einheimischen LKW's überholt wird, die sich wenig um Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung kümmern. In ein Paar Jahren, wenn die Autobahn vollendet ist, ist man ab der ungarischen Grenze in ca. 2,5 Stunden in Vale. Momentan sind es ca. 4 Stunden. Im Ort Vale gibt es einen kleinen Laden, wo man für das Frühstück und den täglichen Bedarf das Nötige bekommt. Saliste ist selbst fußläufig keine große Hürde. Dort gibt es weitere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Wer eine noch größere Auswahl wünscht, der ist mit dem Auto schnell in Sibiu. Das Trinkwasser aus der Leitung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig im Geschmack, aber zum Kaffee oder Tee kochen kann man es bedenkenlos verwenden. Zwischen Vale und Saliste gibt es eine Quelle mit ausgezeichnetem Trinkwasser. Die Berge um Vale laden zu entspannten Spaziergängen ein. Unbedingt gesehen haben muss man die Pässe an der Transalpina. Für die Tour muss man aber etwa die 2-fache Zeit einplanen, als man es nach den Kilometerangaben vermuten könnte. Nagelneue Asphaltstecken wechseln sich nämlich mit alten Schlaglochpisten ab und hin und wieder ist auch mal eine Schotterstrecke ohne Asphaltbefestigung dabei. Aber es lohnt sich!”

    “In Saliste (2 km) gibt es meherere kleine Läden, die sogar alles haben was man braucht. Gegend ist sehr ländlich. Daher ist ein Auto notwendig. In Sibiu (ca. 20 km) gibt nahezu alles. Ein Besuch in der Stadt lohnt sich. Hier gibt es auch viele schöne und gute Restaurants. Das Preisniveau ist für uns sehr günstig. Wobei Benzin und deutsches Bier auf gleichem Niveau liegt wie bei uns. Sehr gut eignet sich der Ort um die Transalpine Hochstraße zu befahren.”

This is how holiday rental owners described Vale by Saliste

Vale and surroundings

If you like the heights of this world and if you want to experience the unique mountain scenery and the expanse of the valleys further below, you are in your right spot here. You don't need to look far for original places in the midst of pristine ...

nature. The ascent to the mountain meadows starts at the village edge. You hike through a flora and fauna deemed to be singular in Europe and if you don't watch your step you will stumble over lizards and salamanders and have the mountain goats laugh at you.

If you wish to explore the surroundings: delve into the country's history or become acquainted with Romania and its people, this is your spot too. All over the countryside you find ancient fortified churches, ruins, abandoned mines and caves.
Heist and highway robbery are tales from the years following the political change and Count Dracula obviously exists only in movies. Most people in these parts are open-minded if met with respect and many of them speak English, so communication works without troubles.
The city of Sibiu, founded by German-Flemish settlers in 1150, lies just around the corner and to this day is a fountain of cultural diversity. The medieval fortifications enbrace an old town with historic alleys and restaurants, cafés and bars, some of which are set in vaulted cellars or courtyards. During the summer the town opens up to visitors and regularly organizes events, from cabaret and theater, through open-air concerts, to exhibitions of local crafts guilds.
The Traditional Village Museum on the outskirts of Sibiu also merits one or two glances. Here, centuries-old log cabins, water mills, blacksmith shops and saw mills from all over the country were reconstructed true to the original.
From here it's just a stone's throw to the fortified church of Cisnadioara, one of the oldest Saxon buildings in Transylvania established in the 13th century. It stands on an almost circular mountain top above the village.

After taking a walk for hours you will feel your legs. In the saltwater lakes and spas of Ocna Sibiului (25 km) you can soothe your aching bones in brine, stretch out in saltwater reading the newspaper and then coat yourself in mud. If that won't suffice, we will fix you a date with our osteopath.
The way back from Sibiu leads you past Cristian (13 km). Here, another Saxon fortified church gives you an impression of how centuries ago people barricaded themselves against Mongols, Turks and Kuruc irregulars.

If you are aiming really high, you can choose between two trafficable north-south passes over the Carpathians, both to visit in a day trip:
• The ‘Transfagarasan’ – winding past steep rocks and a waterfall dozens of meters high. On the top awaits you the ‘Balea’ lake with a hostel and the house of ice.
• The ‘Transalpina’ - at 2.145m the highest trafficable road across the Carpathians, sometimes even above the clouds. Created by the Romans in their campaign against the Dacians, she was forgotten in the meantime and today presents one of the untouched mountain regions in Europe.
In both cases, you arrive at ‘Walachia’, the southern part of the country, in a climate zone influenced by the Mediterranean. From here you can return through the ‘Olt Valley’, the only north-south route through the Carpathians, passing ancient monasteries and partly steep cliffs. Anyone who doesn’t stop here must be in a real hurry.

If you choose to delve deeper into the history of Romania you will hear about the Dacians. Similar to the Celts in Ireland, they are famous for their mystical traditions and particular skills. The last Dacians are said to have taken refuge in the ‘Muntii Apuseni’ (Central Carpathians), a sparsely populated region on the western border of Transylvania. Today however, this region is known for its caves and abandoned mine tunnels, some of which run hundreds of meters through rock. Skeletons of dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters are found in their depths even today. Early birds can explore this area on a day trip.

Also the immediate surroundings of Vale has something to offer: The open-air Marmelada swimming pool is just across the hill 20 minutes walk away, and so is the first of five lakes in the valley. In 10 minutes you have left the village below, passing dozens of hand-carved wooden sculptures on the Poiana Soarelui (sunny glade) on your ascent, to arrive at the mountain meadows with an unique view across the vastness of the Transylvanian Plain.
Connoisseurs are attracted to the mountain lake at Gura Raului (8 km). It lies in a depression surrounded by forest and is fed by several rivers and streams. The water is clear and in the evening, you can light a fire and watch the fish jump for mosquitoes. The serenity of this place can't be captured in a single image, but anyone visiting this place won’t easily forget it.

No matter which way you turn, you will experience amazing things, usually things you never expected
