In early September, cross the new bridge at Braila over the Danube, continue for about 15 km to Macin and continue straight on for about 500 metres after reaching the end of the village.

Then turn left off the main road towards the Monastery of the Spring of Healing (also Macin Monastery) and as soon as you turn left again towards the monastery, park on the right and walk to the right ... into the Macin mountains.

Butterflies, lizards, a tortoise and lots and lots of nature all the way to the top of Vraju, (probably) the highest point in the mountain range, 335 metres above sea level. A great view of the monastery and the surrounding area towards the Danube Delta, Braila and Galati, including the new bridge over the Danube, rewards the afternoon climb, when it's still around 28 degrees.

Hike time up/down: 4 hours, with the last 30-45 minutes being rockier and therefore good footwear is a must. The hiking trails are well signposted and easy to follow/find.
