Brașov (Solomon) - Postăvaru cabin - Poiana Brașov

Hi. Here is an idea of what you could do for a whole week around Brasov: Come to Brașov: One week up & down the whole region But, in your case, I see some limitations: the period + transportation. Strictly from Brasov, you can explore Postavaru. Nearby, you can try Piatra Mare or Piatra Craiului, both accessible by public transport. For Postavaru, you already found a suggestion. For Piatra Mare, take a public bus to Dambul Morii. You can either take the route through the 7 Ladders Canyon ( marked with yellow stripe), or a more classic one (red stripe). For Piatra Craiului, you can take a local train to Zarnesti. But it will take you 1.5-2 hours just to get from the train station to Fantana lui Botorog, the starting point for a few classic routes... If you like forests, I suggest you try a walk either on Lempes Hill (starting from the town Harman, bus from Brasov) or in the Birch Tree Reserve at Reci (REGIO train Brasov - Bita). If you go to Harman, visit the fortified church as well. Other suggestions for day trips: Rasnov or Racos (for the inactive volcano), both by train. !!The Rasnov Citadel is now closed for renovations, not sure if it will be open in April. Bran-Moieciu area, very popular with tourists, is hard to get to by public transport. As for bears, there is the Libearty Reserve in Zarnesti or the bear obsevatories at Lake St. Ana / Baile Tusnad (all with guided tours only). From your question, I am not sure if you're visiting during the Orthodox Easter (aka 16-17th April). If so, book accommodation now, as the period is crowded. Public transport works on those days; museums & shops are closed. I would suggest you avoid Sinaia & Busteni - extremely crowded. Last year, we had snow in April in Brasov. Otherwise, April should be a spring month, with an average 10-20 degrees, but the weather now is not like it used to be. Bring some hiking boots though and layered clothing.
