Păltiniș
Overview
Păltiniş (German: Hohe Rinne; Hungarian: Szebenjuharos) is a mountain resort in Transylvania, Romania, 35 km south-west from Sibiu in the Cindrel Mountains.
It is situated at 1440 m altitude, being the highest resort in Romania. It lies in a conifer forest. It is a popular winter destination and in summer it is sought for its peacefulness, fresh air and easily accessible trekking routes.
It was founded by an association – Siebenbuergischer Karpatenverein (S.K.V.) – in 1894 and three villas from that period still exist. Currently there are 4 hotels, 6 chalets and 17 villas and an increasing number of private holiday houses.
At the entrance to the resort, there is a Romanian Orthodox monastery, which houses the burial place of the Romanian philosopher Constantin Noica. Noica spent the last period of his life in Păltiniș and founded the Păltiniș School here.
Formally, it is a village administered by the city of Sibiu, although it lies on territory that is not contiguous with the city itself.

Then on the other side of the Gerros we have those parts which are called the "Royal" lands and those Scythians who are the bravest and most numerous and who esteem the other Scythians their slaves.
