It was a special experience for us having known some of the mysteries behind the forest. We entered around 7pm, making our way to the clearing passing through weird tree formation, and some strange markings. Our guide Alex shared a lot of stories that made our trek a lot more interesting to add to the experience was the rain and thunder that followed. After a few minutes in the clearing and sharing stories we saw what appeared to be lights moving behind the trees...a mystery understood by few who has been in the forest ;). We made it out of the around 10pm walking to the closet town to wait for a taxi.

Except for the round clearing where you feel safe this whole forest will give your the feeling your are in a special place. The energy is weird, you will not be afraid but the anxiety will follow you the second day after the visit. You will want to shake it off but it will be really hard. Trees are weirdly shaped...not too tall. No phone signal. You will most definitely stumble against something. Ask the guys to give you the small thingy that measures radiations, keep it close and watch it spike in unexpected places (put all phones in plane mode). Would actually not recommend you to go there unless you are really into this stuff...creepy.

My friend and I wandered around here at night. It was a cheap cab ride from the city. We definitely had the feeling we were being watched and there was just a general eeriness about the entire place. Neither of us have ever been anywhere quite as... unsettling. Certainly an interesting experience and if you're ever in Cluj-Napoca definitely check it out.
