Quest for Gold in Rosia Montana
1 day
About this activity
We will depart from Cluj and will travel on the
The Golden Trail of the Carpathian Mountains to Romania’s most controversial site:
Rosia Montana. We will go underground and discover the
Roman mines, that were still active until the 1990s and find out
many legends. Then we will travel back to the real world to visit
members of the local community who have opposed the large
mining project in the past years. This was supposed to
bring new jobs to the area, but would have had
catastrophic consequences on the surroundings.
Of course we will not forget to have a delicious lunch
made with locally grown products, we will also visit a
wool production
workshop, and we will have the opportunity of
meeting many interesting people.
In the evening, we will return cu Cluj.
