Very close to the city center, easy to reach, but still, it makes you feel very far away from it, offering light MTB riding / hiking trails. You can always find in Faget some space and room for the "running thoughts" of our mind to slow down.

Parcul Cetățuia

If it's a sunny day I wouldn't leave Cluj before a walk in Cetatuie Park. Set hotel Belvedere on your map and walk to it. It's a half-hour walk with a nice landscape of the city. Looking at the city you will see a green tongue in the middle: these are 3 parks which might be your next walk if you enjoyed your first one.
