Howling Waterfall

Very nice views from this cable towards one of the hardest routes up to Bucegi 2000m peaks. Much nicer than the one in SInaia.
Also interesting rock formations are at the end of the trip - Babele and the Sphynx.

Very nice park, especially in autumn when there is even a nice festival inside it. Inside the park there is a nice cake shop where you can serve a good cake and a fruit juice. The park itself is very beautiful and has some iconic spots, like the Casino or some iconic hotels - one of them a replica of the first hotels in the area, out of wood.

Very beautiful natural park where you can find extraordinary views, unique at least in our country. Lots of paths across it for all people, from kids to elderly people, Bucegi mountains offer you a good 'battery' recharge through its forests, beautiful sceneries and peaks.

Food Scene
40 min walking or 5 min driving / 2.8 km away.
I heard from some guests we had it is a good choice and as I passed by it looked okay and they had people inside eating. So they must have fresh food.

Around 20 min away and 1.5 km distance - third closest restaurant to our place after La Cerdac restaurant.
I heard it is acceptable, budget eating from a couple of our guests. Just across, there is a parking along the main road DN1, so they should have customers I think (as of the fact that cars stop there) and I could lots of reviews on Google Maps.
In case you had a good meal there, please let me know, as I am not sure about the place / did not get too much feedback and I don't think they have so many customers, hence not sure about the freshness of the food there.

Casa Țărănească

Located in Busteni, so you need to go by car / minibus. Might be more expensive than others, but I heard they have good food. Please let me know if you went there and you enjoyed the place so that I recommend for sure to other guests.

17 min away or 1,2 km
One of the two places (besides Complex Cochet) I would recommend as a restaurant inside Poiana Tapului. Not sure about it as I did not get any recommendation from our guests, but you can check it on Google Maps reviews, as well TripAdvisor if the case. The view is nice and the restaurant is inside Vila Leonida, a very nice house from the '30.
