EUR57.50EUR
Today we will guide you through an unforgettable experience on Europe’s last historic forest railway to Viseu de Sus, close to the Ukrainian border.
One of the most interesting between tradition and technology is represented by the Mocăniţa of the Vaser Valley. Built-in the 1920s, after the first World War. In the late 80s, in Romania, there was about 6.000 km of narrow railway. After 1990, most of these railways were destroyed, with few exceptions. One of these exceptions is the forest track from the Vaser Valley. The train hasn’t stopped working, being used in logging in northern Maramures. This railway is unique in Europe because of its steam locomotives, which drive small wagons into remote areas, completely isolated from any modern life. Get ready for a unique adventure in a landscape of rare beauty, where time seems to have stood still. In the evening we will return to Cluj.
