Walking in Piatra Craiului National Park, Romania

Walking in Piatra Craiului National park, Romania

 

With Iulian away to study the effect of the global warming on the ski touring activities in Switzerland, I had the honor to open the 2013 hiking season at mountainguide.ro. Together with Anne and Martha, we enjoyed mild weather and quiet trails in Bran County, through the Zărnești Gorges, the villages of Peștera, Șirnea, Fundata and Moeciu de Sus. As you can tell from the photos.

În lipsa lui Iulian, plecat în Elveția să studieze efectul încălzirii globale asupra schiului de tură în Elveția, mi-a revenit mie onoarea de a deschide sezonul 2013 de hiking la mountainguide.ro. Parteneri de inaugurare mi-au fost Anne și Martha, împreună ne-am bucurat de o vreme plăcută și cărări pustii în Țara Branului, din Prăpăstiile Zărneștilor în Peștera, apoi Șirnea, Fundata și Moeciu de Sus. După cum se vede și în fotografiile următoare.

Iulian ha organizzato tutto in modo perfetto: dall’arrivo all’aeroporto fino alla ripartenza, compreso un qualche cambiamento del programma dovuto a condizioni sfavorevole. Iulian non è solo un’esperta guida di montagna, ma con piacere informa anche su usi e costumi e il loro contesto storico. Inoltre prende molto a cuore il poterti arricchire con informazioni e dettagli sul suo paese, facendomi scoprire una realtà della Romania che mai avrei immaginato prima di partire per questo viaggio. Grazie mille Iulian e ARRIVEDERCI,

Iulian's skill of knowing the terrain, snow conditions and weather meant that I always felt extremely safe and in exceptionally capable hands. Iulian's service extends well past the actual trip. From my first email inquiry more than 4 years ago his response to any question has always been incredibly prompt and helpful. His attention to detail in every stage of planning and execution of a trip is outstanding. I've had 2 great trekking trips with Iulian and would highly recommend him to make any travel arrangements for you.

Una decina di giorni fantastici, con paesaggi per noi nuovi e una neve da sogno. Alla fine la neve era perfino troppa, ma Iulian ha saputo inventare con 2-3 telefonate un programma alternativo che ci ha soddisfatti tutti a pieno. Bei posti, organizzazione logistica degna di un orologio svizzero e - aspetto non secondario - una conoscenza della regione, della storia e dei suoi abitanti da parte di Iulian che ne fanno un'ottima guida. Avanti così!

Insbesondere durch die Kleinigkeiten bewies Iulian seine Erfahrung mit Touristen: z. B. sorgte er für einen stressfreien Ablauf, indem er uns von der Pension abholte oder uns zu einem windgeschützten Rastplatz führte. Außerdem erfuhren wir von ihm viel Interessantes über Land und Leute. Zum Schluss organisierte Iulian sogar unseren nächsten Tag und gab uns wertvolle Tipps für Sehenswürdigkeiten mit Infos zu den Zugabfahrtszeiten…

We really had a great day trip with Iulian in the Carpathian Mountains near Bran village. The landscape was superb and the place very remote – we did not meet anybody the whole day, except a shepherd with his 200 sheep. One notices very quickly that Iulian is very competent and experienced with tourists.
Katja and Bernhard from Germany, Jan 2013

Thank you for such a lovely trip. Thank you for organizing such smooth transfers, information, and for providing us with a friendly guide. The tiny strawberry bush we have in our garden reminds us of the wild-berries that Mihai showed us on our walk. The walks that Mihai took us on were memorable. The colors in the mountain photos can only be described as inspiring.
Rhys and Alex, Australia

Sometimes you don't need 11 days to enjoy the Carpathian mountains.Last week we had enough of the grey sky in Bucharest and Iulian organized for us a one day hike on top of Bucegi mountains from Sinaia to the Caraiman cross. This was for us a confirmation that a two hours drive is enough to enjoy a day in paradise!!
Beth and Marc Desenfans

The trip was really well-organised and Mihai was a great guide. The scenery was beautiful and varied, the accommodation very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this company - they are reliable, professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

Two weeks in Romania and our time spent with Iulian was our most memorable. What a challenge! How to organize a successful family hiking trip for grandparents, parents and kids? Iulian pulled it off masterfully! It was a wonderful family bonding experience. Our only regret? Not hiring Iulian for longer. Our four days with him were the best!
Dani, Robin and family - Canada

We hebben genoten van dit prachtige landschap en het geweldige weer. Voor de wat meer ervaren mountainbiker die eens in een andere omgeving willen fietsen is dit zeker een aanrader. Horia en Iulian, bedankt voor deze mooie ervaring en alle goede zorgen!
