On
Saturday, after the site tour, a small but very enthusiastic group of
researchers and students climbed up to Piatra Craivii in the Trascău Mountains. This 1078 meters high peak is famous not
only because of its fascinating shell-shaped white cliff but also for its
historical background.
Some thousand years ago a Dacian (late Iron Age) fortification stood on
the top of Piatra Craivii, and the remains of ancient life was also visible on
the slopes around the peak.
Our hikers came up from the little village of Craiva and after exhausting
climbing they reached the final ridge of the hill. From that point we followed
the blue hiking trail sign to the top, where an iron cross represented the end
of our efforts and rewarded us with a breathtaking view.
