Alongside the music, the festival features all sorts of interesting activities to do during the day:
Nature lovers can explore the wild Pepii Cave, go kayaking on Lake Fântânele, go stand up paddleboarding on the lake, or take part in guided tours in the forests around Smida village.
In the mornings, outdoor yoga sessions will be offered to all those who wish to take a break from the frenetic urban pace and find their center.
Those artistically inclined may take part in the Creative Writing Workshop, run by writer Marius Chivu, whose classes have helped many contemporary writers.
