Măgura Codlei, Mountain summit in Burzenland, Romania
Zeidner Berg is a mountain summit reaching 1294 meters, defined by gentle slopes that lead to a spacious clearing called Kalwer-Wiese near the peak. This open area provides a natural stopping point along the ascent.
The mountain contains remnants of Schwarzburg fortress, built during the Teutonic Order's presence and first documented in records from 1265. This medieval structure continues to shape the area's past.
The mountain is known locally by its German name, reflecting the region's Germanic settlement history that remains visible in place names and local traditions. Visitors notice this linguistic layer that connects the landscape to its cultural heritage.
Hiking trails from Codlea town center reach the summit through a network of paths requiring approximately two and a half hours. The ascent is manageable in normal conditions with basic equipment.
The Zeidner Waldbad near the mountain's base opened in 1903 using a natural spring where water emerges at approximately 18 degrees Celsius. This thermal bath has served as a recreation spot for over a century.
