Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Brebi - Comorâște
The hill of Comorâște, above the village of Brebi in Sălaj county, overlooks the Someș valley as it turns north towards Jibou, and its name hints at buried treasure, comoară, which is how villagers often explained odd mounds and old stones on their land. Archaeologists explain it more prosaically as a Roman watch site on the north-western frontier of Dacia, part of the line of towers and forts strung along the Meseș hills and inscribed by UNESCO in 2024. From the top you can see across the valley to the forested ridges that once marked the edge of the empire.

Planning note
Brebi - Comorâște is where the day begins. Next is Treznea.
2. Treznea
The northern frontier of Roman Dacia ran through the hills of Sălaj county, near Zalău, and Treznea is one of the places where its watchtowers, ramparts and forts left traces. The Frontiers of the Roman Empire, Dacia, were listed as a World Heritage Site in 2024, covering hundreds of sites across Romania. Nearby, on a ridge above the valley, Porolissum was the largest Roman town and military complex on this frontier, with a reconstructed gate, an amphitheatre and walls, and it is one of the most impressive Roman sites in Romania.

3. Hurez - Sub Cornet
The hills of Sălaj between Buciumi, Stârciu and Cizer are a landscape of small villages, orchards, pastures and woods, and like much of this county, they were part of the northwestern frontier of Roman Dacia. Hurez, Sub Cornet, is one of the sites of that frontier listed by UNESCO in 2024, probably a watchtower or a stretch of defensive earthwork on a ridge, part of the chain of military posts that linked the forts. Little is visible on the ground today, and the site is better appreciated as part of a wider landscape of Roman frontier archaeology.
