The road from Cluj-Napoca to Vatra Dornei

Tips for the Cluj – Vatra Dornei transfer
- Winter over the Tihuța Pass: the road is spectacular but demanding in snow; we leave with a time margin and monitor conditions — you just enjoy the scenery

- Continuing to the painted monasteries of Bukovina: Vatra Dornei is 1h from Gura Humorului (Voroneț); ask for a quote at booking for a full circuit
