Route description
There was fog over the lake as we drove off. Today only a few kilometers were standing unpaved road on the program. We start at the Reservoir, drive 30 km along and have consistently great views of the lake.

	The road is wide and good to drive, also come sporadically contrary road motorcycles. We pass through one or the other village, sometimes are very nice churches in these villages. At the end of the dam, turn right and drive a smaller tarred road further. This leads over several hairpin bends up to a pass behind down you go to a village, where we turn right's in the monastery´s allee.

	After a few kilometers we stand in front of the entrance of the first monastery. This is purely a male monastery, there is no entrance fee, and the Church is with lots of Gold equipped. Then we drive the road until we come to another convent. Again, everything is palatial. Also there are some beggars who look very professional.
After a pleasant tour goes back a little, then we go right into a dirt road that takes us to about 15 kilometers on a monastery in the mountains. The church is made entirely of wood, everything was very simple. After another visit we drive on gravel roads back to the valley.
	Passing sheeps, guarded by nuns. Shortly before the tar road begins we arrive at a very large and famous monastery of Romania. Next, we go to our accommodation.

The pension is an insider tip, the owners father and son attach great importance that the tourist everything required. Everything here is very well maintained and we paid for a double room converted 20 euros for 2 People.
