CNPA

Dear participants,

When packing for Poiana Brasov, please do not forget some warm clothes and raincoats, as well as warm boots for everyday ware. Unfortunately, what used to be a nice warm weather a few days ago, turned into very cold (5 to 10 degrees Celsius) and rainy days and it seams it will stay like this all next week. We do pray for a change...

All the best!
