For me it was the second time that I went on a trip with Iulian. Like last time (when I hiked to the highest peak in Romania – Moldoveanu) everything was very well organized by Iulian. We enjoyed good weather, snow was maybe not so ideal (too wet and heavy the first day and too icy the second day), but at least we knew at the end of these two days why we were tired. The Bucegi mountains are ideal for ski touring – and it’s good to have a guide like Iulian who knows the region and prevents you from going in the wrong direction. We stayed the night in a cozy and clean chalet in Pestera which allowed us to have a well-deserved rest after the first day. On the second day the temperatures were much lower and we found out at the end of the day that below 1700m it seemed as if the entire day it was foggy, windy and really cold. Fortunately we stayed above this altitude most of the day

Thanks very much for all your help in introducing us to your country and its people. We enjoyed both! We were truly impressed, though, by your thoughtfulness and attention.

Dear Iulian, thank you so very much for a wonderful time in your wonderful country. I appreciate your patience with us. It was a pleasure to be with you and to get to know you and, as Scott says, I too hope we can keep in touch!

Min kusine Britt og jeg fik , takket være Iulian Cozma , en fantastisk og oplevelsesrig uge i Rumænien fra den 19de til den 26de september . På den første dag , i Bucegi Bjergene , skinnede solen fra en skyfri himmel – og det fortsatte den med resten af ugen . Fra Sinaia tog vi tovbanen 700 m op til vi var over trægrænsen . Her var goldt og koldt , så vi måtte have handsker og huer på. Vi gik 300 meget lange meter op til Omu Peak .

Die Fagaras Gratwanderroute bietet fantastische Bergwanderungen in einer atemberaubend wilden und einsamen Natur, wie man sie in Westeuropa nicht mehr findet. Berggewohnte Touristen aus den Alpen sollten allerdings die Anforderungen von Wanderungen in den Südkarpathen nicht unterschätzen: Obschon die Gipfel und Grate "nur" Höhen zwischen 2000 und 2500 m erreichen, können die Touren dennoch recht anstrengend sein: Sie weisen teilweise ziemlich steile und auch rutschige Stellen (T3) auf, welche die volle Aufmerksamkeit des Wanderers erfordern. Die grossen Horizontaldistanzen zwischen den einzelnen Cabanas führen zudem zu recht langen Tagestouren: Tagesmärsche von 8 Stunden und mehr.
