Why Fundatura Ponorului? It’s one of those places where you can practice your photographic skills for landscape and rural life. Also, it’s very popular among the Romanian photographers.

Itinerary

Day 1: Meeting and driving to Fundatura Ponorului. Sunset photography

We will arrange a pick up point in the city and from there in about 2,5 hours from Timisoara or 3 hours from Cluj, we’ll arrive in Federi Village. From Federi depending on the number of people, we will meet with a local that has a 4×4 vehicle and he will take us to Fundatura Ponorului. The road is pretty bad and it can’t not be done with a normal car. And in approximately 1 hour we will reach our destination.

After camping, and depending on your preferences we can take a little walk around to search for the perfect spots for sunrise and sunset photography and to get to know the area a little bit.

In the evening, we will make a campfire and enjoy the nature.

Day 2: Sunrise. Lunch at the locals. Explore Fundatura Ponorului.

Depending on the month and season, sunrise time differs so we will see at what time should we wake up for the best morning light.

After sunrise photography, that will take around 2,5 hours, we can enjoy breakfast and chill. After that we can go to a short hike to explore the surroundings.

At lunch time we’ll be meeting with a local at his house, and prepare the food together so you can take part at making a local dish based on potatoes and cheese.

In the evening we can hike to a higher point from where we have a beautiful panorama over the valley and Retezat Mountains. The spot is perfect for sunset photography.

Day 3. Sunrise. Departure

One last sunrise to capture the beauty of this amazing place. We are going to take as many pictures and enjoy the last hours here. After breakfast, we are going to pack our stuff and before leaving we can go and explore a little more. Around 12:00-1:00 PM the local is going to arrive from Federi and take us to our cars.

We can still enjoy the scenic road from the car and take some more pictures or just enjoy the ride.
