Once he even crossed paths with a bear.<\/p><p>Of course, for me, that was very funny. Thinking about a plush stuffed bear, I could not imagine why his encounter with a bear would make him change his pants.\u00a0<\/p><p>Mamarmot never hiked before, just at the mopuntain base, but she's the type of person that loves walking. A few years back she walked the coast of the Black Sea.<\/p><p>She sometimes tells me bedtime stories about mountains, which amaze me and make me more and more curious. As a child, she has been fascinated by Heidi, the mountain girl, but also by the stories her father told her, namely, my grandpa.\u00a0<\/p><p>Her father always told her stories about the Bucegi mountains, about how he hiked during the night on the plateau, under millions of stars, about how he camped with his friends or how they adventured through a place called Hornurile. On Sundays they had a tradition: they sat together and looked at slides and in time this started to open a whole new universe inside  Mamarmot, without her knowing.<\/p><p>From Heidi, she learned about the edelweiss flower, or at least this is what she remembers.<\/p><p>This dream was burning for many years inside her, and it became reality when Mamarmot walked her first steps, holding my hand, on my grandpa's footsteps that were long trodden.\u00a0<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2072 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.marmotwanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0950-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><p>So here we are.\u00a0<\/p><p>I may be small, but even if I was bigger, I would've still been an ant in all this immensity.\u00a0<\/p><p>We left early in the morning and nobody is on the trail. It's an unbelievable silence and everything stands still. Only from time to time you may here a bee buzzing.\u00a0<\/p><p>The grass is yellow and fluffy and from time to time I can see winding footpaths. I want to touch the grass and the earth and the sky and to run around but it seems that while hiking we must follow the beaten path so my parents carry me on their shoulders and we continue further.<\/p><p>At one point, around us appear multiple viewpoints towards closer or distant ridges and the path gets narrowed more and more.<\/p><p>I may have a better view from my dad's shoulders, or we are actually climbing a little, but we reach a place where we can see over another plateau, and in the distance, an enormous valley.<\/p><p>I can see a big cross.
