Snow walking in Moeciu de Sus – Simon villages

Second snow falling from this Autumn :)
I can say that the area of Moeciu de Sus – Poarta – Simon mountain villages is one of my favorite area for walking. First of all because of his unique natural beauty, and not the last because of the photo opportunities what this area keep to offer!

We arrived on Friday evening at mrs. Jebac house from Poarta village, enjoying the tasty food what she cook for us. This time us is meaning, Beth and Marc, and Carmen and Catalin.
Saturday we did a classic wak, from Simon village to Moeciu de Sus, unfotunately not photos from that day, even if was still … autumn. But on saturday evening was start sonwing, so Sunday was a totally different landscape around us!

Kind regards,
Iulian, Brasov city, 21 October

    Salut Iulian ,
    complimente pentru activitatea ta de publicizare a acestor locuri minunate .
    Iti vizionez fotografiile de multi ani si imi permit sa spun nu numai ca sunt frumoase , dar si faptul ca sunt din ce in ce mai profesionale, ba chiar artistice multe dintre ele. Merita sa fie obiectul unei expozitii, cum de altfel sunt deja prin intermediul internetului.
    Eu iti doresc timp bun in turele tale pe munte, sau pe ori unde vei ajunge.

    Toate cele bune!
    Ghita.

    Pai uite omule,

    eu nu stiu citi ani are Sheila asta, si nici cum arata ( in poze nu se prea vede) dara eu in locul lui nevasta-ta ziceam ” da’ mai stai si pe acasa si plimba-te mai putin cu Sheila”

    Servus Iulian,

    Multumesc pentru poveste si fotografii. Si pe aici e toamna faina, doar cam racoroasa pentru zona asta. Weekendul trecut am tras o fuga prin Brasov. Mi s-a facut dor de casa si mai tare. Noroc ca mai am 31 de zile si ajung inapoi,
    definitiv sper. Pana atunci, sper sa mai trag cateva ture pe aici (am in plan sa urc pe “Everestul” Belgiei, care are vreo 670 de m :) ) )
    Toate cele bune,
    Marian

  • Andrei:

    Foarte frumoase poze. Multumesc pentru email.
    … si multi clienti buni!

    Salut, Iulian,
    Super poze (ca de obicei, dealtfel!) si super-trasee pe unde ai umblat… Nu stiam ca au pus catarg metalic pe Moldoveanu (nu am mai fost pe virf din 2007, de fapt), o “moda” copiata probabil de pe alte meleaguri. Imi amintesc de o structura tetraedrica din lemn amplasata pe Negoiu acum multi ani, dar care, evident, probabil nu a rezistat decit in vara respectiva, poate nici atit. Pe Moldoveanu mai imi amintesc de (era prinsa de una dintre crucile metalice de acolo, nu cea cu citatul din Blaga, ci de cealalta) o icoana (un tablou micut in toata regula, de fapt, cu rama si cu sticla) care il reprezenta pe voievodul Marii Unirii, Mihai Viteazul. Nu stiu citi ani a rezistat acolo, dar la vremea respectiva mi s-a parut o alegorie superba ca marele nostru domnitor unificator sa aiba o prezenta simbolica pe cel mai inalt pisc al tarii…

  • Radu:

    Ziua buna,
    Multumesc mult pentru invitatia de a admira imagini deosebite din locuri deosebite. Felicitari pentru cea ce faci imbinand placutul cu promovarea farmecului unor locuri nepereche.

    Printre altele mi-a placut cea ce ai scris/realizat- citez : “I can say that most of them came with not so many
    expectations about a hiking or a cultural tour in Romania, but at the end of the tour they really changed their opinion about my country. And I’m happy for them, and I’m happy that I was able to help them to do this!”

    Sanatate si succes in continuare
    Cu stima,
    Radu M.

    Superbe poze, multumesc mult. Domnul sa va apere si sa va pazeasca de tot raul. Doamne ajuta! Parintele Stanciu, Ucea de Sus

  • Dorina:

    Frumoase imagini si extraordinare cuvinte.
    Nu ma mir. Acelasi profesonalism de exceptie l-am experimentat si noi.

    Drum bun pe munte,
    Dorina

  • Nicu Alexandru:

    Hi Iulian, multumesc pentru plimbarea virtuala pe care am facut-o prin muntii Fagarasului si alti munti cu ajutorul pozelor de o calitate exceptionala.Am retrait parca aievea frumoase momente petrecute in muntii nostri.I-am vazut in citeva poze si pe parintii tai.Transmite-le te rog salutari si urari de bine,la fel si tie si familiei.

  • Amalia:

    Salutari,
    Iata ca sunt si romani fericiti…Ma bucur din suflet pentru tine. Multumesc pentru fotografii, iar ne-ai inseninat zilele care sunt din ce in ce mai intunecate…Sa stii ca si noi simtim ca la munte e adevarata fericire, si cu cat e mai salbatic, cu atat e mai frumos. Am suferit cand am trecut pe Transalpina si am vazut cat rau pot sa faca oamenii muntelui(rasunau manelele din masinile larg deschise). Noi anul acesta am facut trasee pe Rodnei, Tibles, Cindrel, Sureanu, m-tii Bihor si a fost minunat.
    Numai bine,
    Amalia

  • Ramona:

    Buna dimineata Iulian,

    Stiu ca toate turele tale sunt reusite, dar cea facuta cu Sheila, nu stiu de ce, mi se pare de poveste.
    Poate pentru ca nu am mai vazut de ceva vreme fotografiile tale…oricum, minunate.
    Multumesc si ma bucur ca nu m-ai uitat si imi mai trimiti “bucatele de frumusete”.
    O zi cu soare iti doresc,
    Ramona

  • Carmen:

    Multumim Iulian pt tura minunata, iar zapada de duminica a fost botezul nostru in omat pe anul ista… Ce norocosi am fost :) )

  • Thomas Bubendorf:

    As usual great pictures! I already start missing the Romanian landscapes and mountains – but I keep very nice memories of my time in Romania, having done among many other things a few excursions with Iulian. Keep going!

Iulian gav mig en konstant følelse af tryghed, da han kender alle bjerge, og tager hensyn til dit niveau. Derudover, har han en stor historisk viden om landet, hvorfor han er en god guide alle steder. Han går virkelig udover pligten som guide, hvorfor at jeg følte at jeg rejste med en ven, og ikke en guide. Jeg kommer tilbage en dag, både for at rejse med Iulian, men også for at møde det dejlige og inspirerende folk og se den smukke natur.
Jan Swensson, Roskilde, Denmark – February 2012

Iulian gave me a constant sense of security because he knows all the mountains, and takes your level into account. Additionally, he has a great historical knowledge of the country, why he is a good guide anywhere. He really goes beyond the obligation as a guide, so I felt that I traveled with a friend and not a guide. I’ll come back one day, both to travel with Iulian, but also to meet the lovely and inspiring people and see the beautiful scenery.
Jan Swensson, Roskilde, Denmark – February 2012

Una experiencia absolutamente recomendable no solo por la belleza de los paisajes de Rumania , sino también por la manera de hacer de Iulian, una manera de enseñar, y explicar, cercana, entrañable , y por supuesto , muy profesional. Muchas gracias por esta experiencia de nuevo,

A great itinerary. We started by taking the Cable car from Busteni to Babele. There we made a big loop passing thru Omu Peak and arriving after 8 hours in Pestera. The sun was bright and the scenary was incredible with the clouds in the valley. In some parts it was like walking on the clouds. Iulian had arranged for us a good stop for the night in the National Salvamont School in Pestera where we recoverd with a good meal. The second day was very nice as well since the landscape had turned white with the night frost. We arrived in Moeciu tired but happy. Next time will be in winter with snow shoes!!
Beth and Marc Desenfans, Bucharest, November 2011

Une tres belle balade ce lundi 14 novembre. Nous aimons les paysages autour de Moeciu car on decouvre la vie et les scenes de moyenne montagne tout en ayant une vue superbe sur les montagnes de Bucegi quand le soleil est de la partie. Iulian nous avait prepare comme d'habitude un bel itineraire de 5 heures de marches(sportif mais accessible a tous). Les quelques arrets dans les granges nous ont permis de manger en cours de route. A l'arrivee une bonne Ciorba nous a permis de nous rechauffer.
Beth Desenfans, Bucharest, Novembre 2011

Whaat a journey….Două zile concentrate, in care am ramas fascinata de ce frumuseti ascund Bucegii nostri. Daca in prima zi m-am simit ca o pasare, mergand aproape de nori, cu soarele in ochi si vantul de la Omu pe la urechi, iar seara am mancat mai bine ca la mama, a doua zi am pornit grabiti, si dupa 4 ore de urcat si mult coborat prin padurea de brazi, am iesit la dealurile cernite ale Moeciului de Sus, iar vacutzele, prietenele lui Iulica, ne-au dat binetze din talaga… Un traseu sublim, dar si vremea a fost de partea noastra…
Multumim Iuli Carmen si Catalin, Bucuresti, Noiembrie 2011

This was my latest of many hiking trips I have taken with Iulian's guide services. As usual, his route selection and flexibility to work with my schedule and abilities made for a fantastic hike! I have come to depend on his expertise in the region and he has become a friend and outdoor mentor based on the many hours we have spent hiking together over several years. He arranges tours well based on a hiker's abilities and he knows I enjoy a challenge. This trip did not disappoint - it was very memorable and challenging! There is also no substitute for the beauty of the remote regions of Romania. Thanks again for a great weekend!
Mike, USA, November 2011

Seine Betreuung vor und während des Aufenthalts lies keine Wünsche offen. Besonders gut fanden wir, dass wir das Dorf seiner Großmutter kennengelernt haben und auf der Hütte mit am Küchentisch sitzen durften. Die Freundlichkeit der Menschen war beeindruckend. Auch für unsere weitere Reise durch Rumänien hat er uns noch viele gute Tipps gegeben und eine tolle Tour ins Donaudelta organisiert. Wir danken Julian für die schönen Tage in den Karpaten und werden, wenn sich die Gelegenheit ergibt, gerne wieder kommen.
Astrid, Susanne und Holger, Germany – September 2011

Beste Iulian, Hoewel we de afgelopen week in September maar een paar dagen te besteden hadden, ben je er in geslaagd om een prachtige trip voor ons te organiseren. Ik heb uitgebreid genoten van je kennis over Roemenië, haar cultuur & historie en natuurlijk de bergen zelf. Heb een boel geleerd deze paar dagen. Overigens niet in het minst betreffende jullie prima bier, wijn en worstjes. Dank dat je dit voor ons hebt geregeld. Wij zouden je organisatie - en zeker jou - zonder twijfel aanbevelen voor dit soort trips. Het beste,
Michiel Haarman, The Nederlands, September 2011

Dear Iulian, thank you so much for the photos. I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone if I say that we had truely a fantastic two days in Bucegi mountains with you. The photos are the proof! Surely, we can recommend you to everyone we know. So once again, a million thanks and, who knows, we will see you again soon. Our best regards, Commissarissen Shanghai,
Jean-Pierre Bienfait and Alexander Werre, The Nederlands, September 2011

Although we only had a few days this September to get a flavour of your beautiful mountains, you succeeded in arranging a beautiful trip for us. I really enjoyed your knowledge on the country, its history, culture and nature, and of course the mountains itself. Learned a lot these few days. Not in the least on the excellent beers, wines and sausages. Thanks for arranging this for us. We would receommend your organization without any hesitation for these kind of trips.
