I woke up quite early, had a great breakfast and soon I packed the tent and continue with my riding.

Wild camping near the Argeș River

Southern part of Transfăgărășan road and the Sun has started to rise

Still a lot of snow in June in Făgăraș Mountains

If you are a motor-biker, then you shouldn't miss this magnificent road 

The Southern part of Făgăraș Mountains were behind me and after the short tunnel I met the Bâlea Lake, a glacier lake situated at 2034 m. I changed my motorbike clothes for hiking gear and I started walking around the area.

Bâlea Lake (2034 m, 46,508 m², 11.35 m deep) - periglacial lake, the largest in Făgăraș Mountains

Icy parts were not easy to pass

Amazing view to the Bâlea Lake and the valey with the Transfăgărășan road

Cupra lake, 18,340 m², sitting at 2249 meters altitude,  under the peak of Vânătoarea lui Buteanu.

View to the nearby mountains

Lunch at 2507 m

Vânătoarea lui Buteanu, 2507 m, is the eighth highest peak in Romania

Unforgettable

In the afternoon I left the mountains. Sighișoara, Vlad Dracul's birthplace was my next destitination.

Vlad Țepeș or Vlad the Impaler or Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431-1476), son of Vlad II Dracul

The landmark of the city is the Clock Tower, a 64m high tower built in the 13th century.

Covered Staircase - a very old stone staircase with a wooden roof along the whole span.

After some more riding it was time to set the tent again somewhere beside the road, where nobody could bother me.
