At the foot of the stone fortress of Bucegi Mountains, a row of gentles and long ridges hide between them several deep valleys where the rays of sun are long awaited. Along these valleys, villages like Fundata, Moieciu or Șimon have become a true paradise for travelers searching for splendid rustic landscapes.

Behind most houses in the valleys, there are marvelous gardens that go upwards on the steep slopes, many still preserving the charm of the past, with old wooden shelters surrounded by pastures and haystacks.
