The Mocănița station in Vișeu de Sus is 18.2 km, about 23 minutes away by car. Some websites say “14 km”; we measured the road and it is 18.2.
What the Mocănița is
A steam-hauled train that climbs the narrow-gauge forest railway up the Vaser Valley, through the woods and along the river.
For groups
- Group seats should be booked well ahead, directly with the Mocănița operator, especially in summer and during school holidays.
- Departure times and journey length can be checked on the operator’s website before you fix the day.
- If your Mocănița day falls in the middle of your stay, let us know in your enquiry so we can agree the breakfast time.
