The 8th International Conference on Tribology, Balkantrib’14, will be held in the Hotel Palace, Sinaia, Romania in the period of 30th October- 1st November. Sinaia (Romanian pronunciation: [siˈnaja]) is a town and a mountain resort in Prahova County, Romania. The town was named after Sinaia Monastery, around which it was built; the monastery in turn is named after the Biblical Mount Sinai. King Carol I of Romania built his summer home, Peleș Castle, near the town.
Sinaia is about 60 kilometers (37 miles) northwest of Ploiesti , 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of Brașov and 110 km (68 miles) from Henry Coanda Bucharest Airport (approx. 1h 26 min. by car on E60/DN1), in a mountainous area on the Prahova River valley, just east of the Bucegi Mountains. The altitude varies from 767 to 860 meters (2,516 to 2,822 feet) above sea level.
We will provide transfer for conference participants from airport to the conference location at arriving and at departure.
The city is a popular destination for hiking and winter sports, especially downhill skiing. Among the tourist landmarks, the most important are Peleș Castle, Pelișor Castle, Sinaia Monastery, Sinaia Casino, Sinaia train station, and the Franz Joseph and Saint Anne Cliffs. Sinaia was also the summer residence of the Romanian composer George Enescu, who stayed at the Luminiș villa.
