Travel planner: Some unexpected offroading in Buzau, the monastery in the woods and the salt cave

Every single trip I've made to less known parts of Romania has paid off, eventually. Every road that seemed too bad to safely take us anywhere good brought along the most amazing scenery and the thrill of discovering unbeaten paths. The same happened last weekend, when we started off on a newly paved road and ended up offroading on serpentine tracks in Buzau county, admiring beautiful vistas from atop a hill, finding a monastery in the woods, drinking brackish water from a place only known by locals and eventually discovering a salt cave. All within one day.
