The place story:
  In the hearth of Transylvania, in the south-west of region Harghita it is a place named Simonesti. This place is between at the 1062 m high Firtus and 932 m high Rezteto mountains. Mihaileni lays at 15 km from Odorheiu Secuiesc. Here flows the Salonu little river in to the Nyiko river. We can find Bentid on the opposite flow of the Salonu watercourse. In this place we can find two places Lower and Over Bentid. The population of Bentid has changed a lot in time: in the beginning it raised very fast, but in the XX century it decreased.

  All the people who lives in Bentid, are Seklers, and most of the are Unitarians, but we can find some Catholics and Calvinistic people too. The people who are living in Bentid, are very simple and kind. They hold together and they respect their leader. In the other hand they love the nature and animals.

Approaching Bentid:
  1. On the route between Odorheiu Secuiesc and Sovata (13A), in Bisericani we have to take left along Feher Nyiko in the Morareni direction (13B). After we live Morareni we will meet a bridge what is crossing the Salonu rivulet. Before the bridge we have to take right and in 1 km we have too arrive in Bentid.
  2. On the route between Odorheiu Secuiesc and Cristuru Secuiesc, on the Cristuru Secuiesc limit we have to take left along the Feher Nyiko (134A) to Ruganesti direction Ruganesti - Simonesti – Cadaciu Mic - Cadaciu Mare - Cobatesti – Mihaileni. In Mihaileni when we cross bridge on the Salonu rivulet, we have to take left and in 1 km we have too arrive in Bentid.

Approaching the box:
  We start out journey from the center of Bentid, near the store (N 46° 22,167' E 25° 10,437' 499 m), here we can leave our car. From here we take right to the last houses where in a small cross (N 46° 22,215' E 25° 10,579' 527 m) we take right again up to the hill, across the cemetery, to the top of the hill. (N 46° 22,120' E 25° 10,968' 608 m). We have to take care of the blackthorn on the way to the top. After we enjoyed the beautiful view of the place we have to go around of the wood and enter in to the bush. From here in 3-4 meters there are a cuted down tree. Between this tree we can find the hidden box (18x10x10cm).


!!Attention, there can be bears on the surroundings!!
