    Open Nature
    Open hilltop location, which has a good view as well. Small hike to get to the "hot" area which is quite small, but worth the trek. Flames continue to flicker and vary in size, based also on weather and pressure, I was told that they are also bigger at night. Great visit if you're in the Buzău area.

    High expectations
    The Focul Viu spot is about 5x5 meters and 3-5 flames so real small. The access to Terca is on unpaved road so be sure that you come with car with regular or high clearance and not a sports low car like Ferrari or Porsche :-) Access during winter or rainy days may be difficult too due to the fact that the road is not paved so mud can develop quickly and in big volume. The way to flames is not marked but when you cross the wooden pedestrian bridge you have to go left and after about 150 meters right up hill and continue for about only 10-15 minutes. It is worth seeing but for sure you will not stay there long.
