Comments on: Walking in Bucegi mountains http://www.mountainguide.ro/walking-in-bucegi-mountains/ trekking, hiking, ski touring in Romania, in Transylvanian Alps Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:33:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Alex http://www.mountainguide.ro/walking-in-bucegi-mountains/comment-page-1/#comment-373 Alex Mon, 10 May 2010 15:16:00 +0000 http://www.mountainguide.ro/?p=3247#comment-373 Lovely trip. Lovely senery. Silence and tranquility for those who want to get away from hum of busy city... Pestera is a special place, much different from Sinaia or Predeal. It's a kind of a hidden valley located in the heart of mountains. The trip became my first experience in mountain walking. We've made around 15 km each day. In fact, I've never walked so much in a single day in my whole life:) Physically challenging, though exciting. Definitely a good excercize. Liked a lot walking on snow.. Presense of Iulian inspired the confidence and feeling of safety in a trip. Hotel was great, though the road imho requires SUV. Alternatively u can get there taking cable car up from Busteni and then descending down to Pestera with a backpack. There is a beautiful monastery located in a cave nearby. Those who like can even visit monastery service. Looking forward to new mountain adventures. Thanks to Iulian and my companions Marc and Beth. Lovely trip. Lovely senery.

The hike on sunday was more relax but with great scenary as well. Pestera is a great place for hiking because it is out of the beaten tracks. There are also easy hikes near the Pestera hotel wich means that even family with kids could organize a programme there.We appreciated Iulian technical expertise but also his knowledge of the environment. We are looking forward for our next experience in the Faragas mountains.
