Wildly romantic for some, hard work with many hardships for others, in the mountains of Apuseni the two meet. Who is happier ... everyone has to decide for themselves. More does not always mean more ... at least not when it comes to your own satisfaction.
The Apuseni Mountains are a mountain formation in western Romania. It reaches summit heights of almost 1,850 meters (highest peak: Cucurbata Mare at 1,849 meters) and forms the northern section of the western Romanian Carpathians. The mountain range has an almost circular outline with a diameter of 130 to 150 km, is bordered by the rivers Mures, Somes and Barcau and is located in the counties of Arad, Bihor, Cluj, Alba and Hunedoara.
