This is the famous Hill Climb at Redbull Romaiacs, Hard Enduro Competition.Worth a visit when in Sibiu, especially to watch the competition or just go there to experience it. 

The Hill of Crosses, where people not only from Lithuania have put crosses for couple centuries, witnesses faithfulness and trust of a Christian community to Christ and his Cross. This is an expression of a spontaneous religiousness of the people, and is a symbol not of grief and death but of Faith, Love and Sacrifice. From here the Pope blessed all people of Lithuania and all of Christian Europe.This place reminds You the freedom does not come by itself, You need to fight for it...The crosses on the Hill were first mentioned in written chronicles in 1850, but it is believed that the first crosses were put by the relatives of the victims of the rebellion in 1831 as the tsarist government did not allow the families to honor their deads properly. Crosses of the kind became more numerous after the other rebellion in 1863. In the beginning of the 20th century the Hill of Crosses was already widely known as a sacral place. In addition to many pilgrims visiting, it was also a place for Masses and devotions. The Hill of Crosses became of special importance during Soviet times – this was the place of anonymous but surprising persistence to the regime. The Soviet government considered the crosses and the hill a hostile and harmful symbol. In 1961 wooden crosses were broken and burnt, metal ones used as scrap metal and stone and concrete crosses were broken and buried. The hill itself was many times destroyed with bulldozers. During the 1973–1975 period about half a thousand crosses used to be demolished each year without even trying to do this secretly. Later the tactics became more subtle: crosses were demolished as having no artistic value, different “epidemics” were announced forbidding people to come into the region or the roads were blocked by police. The Hill was guarded by both the Soviet army and KGB. In 1978 and 1979 there were some attempts to flood the territory. Despite all these endeavors to stop people from visiting the Hill, crosses would reappear after each night.

A complex of bunkers, shelters and barracks in the Forest of Gierloz, near Ketrzyn (Masuria, Poland) BunkerExploration Gear Whether you are a history enthusiast, interested in nature, or simply looking for an interesting place to visit while in Masuria, you should not miss the ruins of the Former Wartime Headquarters of Adolf Hitler, codenamed the “Wolf’s Lair” (Wolfsschanze).  The Wolf’s Lair is a town of bunkers surrounded by forests, lakes, and marshlands. It was the largest and most recognizable field headquarters of Adolf Hitler, used from 1941 to 1945. Located in Gierłoż near Kętrzyn, the Wolf’s Lair remains a remarkable tourist attraction today, despite the fact that the headquarters was blown up by the retreating German forces. It attracts nearly a quarter of a million visitors each year. The bunkers still hold many mysteries and continue to impress with their immense size, scale, and durability.  Hitler’s Headquarters for 800 Days of War Adolf Hitler spent a total of 800 days here. From this location, Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of the Soviet Union) was coordinated, and key decisions concerning the German war machine were made. The headquarters also housed many of the Third Reich’s highest-ranking officials, including Hermann Göring, Martin Bormann, Wilhelm Keitel, and Alfred Jodl. It was also here that one of the many assassination attempts on Hitler took place—the famous plot carried out by Claus von Stauffenberg in July 1944. Discover the history and unique characteristics of the Führer’s Headquarters in Gierłoż, learn how it was constructed, and find out what happened to it after the war.
