On February 28th we are going to look for and see owls on Via Transilvanica.
Do we know where the owls are? No, but we know they are. And we also know what the tracks look like that indicate that they are nearby. It will be a hike in which we will be very careful.
And if we don't find them?
We will always have the hike and the experience of the search, with some information, with the benefits that a day spent in nature brings.
How is the hike?
The hike is easy, with small, insignificant slopes. There are 7 km that we do through the forest and we have one km until we reach the forest.
We meet at the Forkesch Tower in Mediaș, we take a minibus towards Moșna, stop, enter Via Transilvanica and head towards the city. For 7 km we will also be hikers on Via Transilvanica, who can't wait to reach the city.
We return from where we started – also at the tower – and take a break with hot tea/cold beer at the end.
Meeting point: 10:00, at Forkesch Tower/Goldsmiths' Tower
