We began this hike in the small town of Busteni Romania and made our way up to Cabana Malaiesti where we spent the night. This mountain cabin is in a beautiful location on the edge of forest and mountain. The next day we went to the summit of Mount Omu and then descended back down to Busteni. Being from Australia, (a very flat country) I found this hike to be challenging. It is steep in parts and there is a scramble heading towards Omu's summit from Malaiesti. As far as the scenery and the beauty goes, you cannot go wrong with this hike especially in the warmer months. Lush green forests lead to valleys of wild flowers surrounded by jagged rock faces. This was a hike I will never forget and one I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Busteni looking for an adventure.
