After lunch, you will cycle from Trinca to Fetesti (~ 6 km). You will discover Fetesti Nature Reserve, often named the “Little Switzerland of Moldova” because the surroundings that give the illusion of being in a mountainous region, when in fact, there are no actual mountains. You will be amazed by the uniqueness of Northern Moldova’s nature characterized by steep cliffs and imposing rock formations around the Prut River. You can be assured that while climbing your way up some of those cliffs and taking a look at the impressive views, your adrenaline levels will skyrocket!

You will explore Fetesti village for a while, after which you will cycle from Fetesti to Corjeuti (~14 km) along the Lopatnic River.
