The location

The commune Comana in Brasov county of Romania has opened its hospitable doors to host Transylvaania Calling, the nomadic gathering of the tribes, in 2019. The festival will take place in the stone query located in the Cave Valley (Valea Pesterii). The sunny valley and the query are surrounded by the emerald green hills of the Pershani mountains. An ice cold mountain creek runs its waters through the valley. The forest offers cooling shade and a hide-out from the hot August sun.

The location is great for taking walks. You will find exciting surprises nature and the valley have to offer: Basalt columns wall is a natural formation located 10 mins walking distance from the camping site.  Waterfall is in 10 - 15 mins walking distance from the festival Comana cave spreads its corridors throughout the space of 41,562 ha. One entrance to the cave is located 20 mins walking distance from the location, but the access is not easy. Organized tours will be offered onsite. Only those with mountain boots will be allowed to join the tour.
