Why fly here

What this place gives you

Strengths

The lowest entry threshold among our destinations — both in money and in conditions
Once above 2000 m we go south to the Piatra Mare massif, east into Ciucaș, west into Bucegi
The site works for triangles, not only for straight-line flights
Brașov is next door — a non-flying day is not wasted

What is dangerous here

Going south, east or west you enter mountain massifs of 1900–2500 m with limited landings
June and July are the wettest months of the year in Brașov: 9–10 days with rain

Routes

What people fly here

From Bunloc south to Piatra Mare, then east into Ciucaș or west into Bucegi. Triangles across the three massifs.

Competitions. The Romanian National Championship is held in the Brașov area; in 2026 — 5–11 July, but from the Postăvaru launch, not Bunloc.
