Why should I choose Romania for my Hiking adventure?
Stunning scenery
The Carpathian Mountains are blessed with plenty of beautiful scenery. From green mountain slopes, covered in Europe’s most pristine and intact forests, to craigy peaks and gorgeous mountain meadows, there are plenty of different scenes to see all in the course of a single day. Various natural and national parks provide excellent opportunities to see rushing rivers and spectacular waterfalls too.
Beautiful Brasov
Chances are if you are heading up for a hiking trip in the Carpathians, you’ll pass nearby Brasov. If you have the time, the city is well worth a visit. Boasting some hiking of its own as well as traditional architecture and a rich cultural heritage, spending a day or two here is highly recommended. About an hours bus ride away from Bran and Dracula’s castle also presents a reason to stay here too.
Something for everyone

Spend a single day heading up to a small summit in the Apuseni Mountains or take a couple of days heading to the summit of Moldoveanu, Romania’s tallest mountain at 2.544 meters in elevations.

Ioan was a great guide!! We joined a group of 10 others at the last moment and although we came unprepared for the first day, he managed to get us what we needed in order to have an amazing adventure! We visited several peaks over 2500m, met local shepherds, saw amazing views and had great meals. Despite some injuries we had and lagging a bit behind the group, everyone was patient and understanding. The first day was a challenge uphill, the second we had a lot of rain but enjoyed the area and clean air, the third day was a tour of the Fagaras peaks leading to a steady descent with great views. Make sure to prepare in advance and bring the necessary equipment - rain proof gear, adjustable walking sticks, low temperature sleeping bag and quick setup tent. Very much recommended!!!
