Green grow the beeches, oh!


This is the road down from the village. As you can see it is unmetalled, steep, narrow, and tortuous. Between Zarnesti, down in the valley, and the village are five miles (8km) of bad roads and 11 hairpins through a forest of beech, spruce and mixed woodland. It's seriously green all year, but in spring, the beech leaves are the ultimate in fresh verdant new life - not even the lime green car can compete.
