General presentation
Buzău et volcans de boue
Amazing hills, mud volcanoes, vineyards, rock monasteries and dry landscapes in north-east Bucharest.
The discovery of Buzău and mud volcanoes revolves around mud volcanoes, Buzău and Pietroasele. The stay thus alternates between natural areas, the countryside and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: heat and exposed terrain and scattered sites. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Volcans de boue
The mud volcanoes of Buzău form small grey cones where the cold mud boils and cracks in an almost lunar landscape. The site is especially strong by its visual strangeness, with dry hills, clay flows and bubbles that burst on the surface.
Town or village
Buzău
Buzău serves as a base for mud volcanoes, the vineyards of Dealu Mare and the hills northeast of Bucharest. The city remains little touristic, but it gives access to a varied region, between markets, cave monasteries and dry landscapes.
Town or village
Pietroasele
Pietroasele is located in the wine sector of Dealu Mare, surrounded by hillsides, cellars and rural roads. The stop is especially interesting for curious travellers of Romanian wines, with a quieter setting than the large cities and views of the hills.
