Yes; the itinerary notes it’s family-friendly though children should be supervised near active vents and uneven ground.
Basic refreshments (coffee/tea and bottled water) are included; a traditional Romanian dinner and wine tasting can be added at booking.
A faint sulphurous odor is common and normal—these are cold gas vents, not flammable eruptions.
The stones and cones record Quaternary sedimentary and gas-driven processes; locals have long attached folk explanations to these visible signs of subsurface activity.
Features are fragile—stick to trails, don’t remove samples, and support local guides who manage visitor impact to preserve vents and stone formations.
