Located close to more famous and popular mountains such as the Parâng and the Retezat (and readily accessible from Petroșani), the Șureanu are quiet. Round ridges, extensive forests and wide plateaus define these mountains, apart from the Dacian fortresses. They are especially recommended in late September and October, for those autumn colours... For ideas of cycling and trekking routes in these mountains and not only, refer to my GPS track page.
