I'm biased when writing this review but it's because I spent in this place all my childhood holidays. Now an American, I miss the "mud" baths and was challenged to describe what this means to me. First of all, the "mud" is clay; not just any but a naturally enriched clay with minerals that are therapeutic for arthritis, skin issues, and others. The water has the salinity a bit less than that of the Dead Sea; the value of your money is certainly cheaper (not to deter anybody from going to Israel, on the contrary, that place is amazing on so many fronts). A bit further away from this place there is also a nudist place, something that many would walk away from; if that's your enjoyment, nobody will bother you. Eating local food is the best part of it. If the traditional music is not on your taste, move away. When I was a child there was little shade from the nearby trees; now there are restaurants, a massage service, games, and all you need to buy for a couple of dollars. Entrance is something like $3 for the entire day; beat that if you can! Making B&B arrangements in this area is better with private owners to get a real feeling of the archaic way of life. If you want to see cows returning home by themselves, pet farm animals or just simply wonder on the hills and hear the trains whistle, have the backpack experience, this is the place to be. Downtown Ocna Sibiului the internet is free though the signal is not always strong (or secure for that matter). I always enjoyed being here without wearing a watch; let time stretch out when talking with the locals, seeing the same way of life as it was 100 years ago. It's not for everyone especially Generation Z. But if you can convince a teen to join you, they might just learn about more meaningful things in life than the virtual world: social skills 101, raw nature, farming, appreciation of family. I can't wait to go back.

This park starts somewhere close to the Military Hospital, just outside the Old Town, and continues South-West, as a wide river of greenery through the city, merging eventually with the ASTRA Village Museum's large sub-urban domain. It's been there as long as I remember, always a place to enjoy the shade in summer, a drink on a terrace, or a stroll on its sinuous alleys.

If you on the Transfagarasan Highway you are more than welcomed to visit Bâlea Waterfall. Very beautiful waterfall with a lot of water even in August. The views on the way are amazing. Note that in the end of the trail you will have some rise therefore may be it will be difficult for small children, but the trail is very nice. How to get there? Search for “Balea Waterfall visitor center parking” and park a car there. Then start walking toward Bâlea Waterfall.

I really liked the place there being animals from an otter all the way to a white tiger. Everything was nicely placed , going through a forest with a rock path and arriving at the cages with camels , zebra , white tigers etc. But what I really liked about the place were the boat rides . They were very relaxing and also there were ducks that would come after you. Prices are very cheap and you have a lot to visit, very nice place. 10/10
