Splitboarding tour in Carpathians, Romania

They were splitboarding in Romania last January. And they return because they enjoyed! This year weather was much better than last year, but the poor winter conditions across all Europe, was presented here too.

Anyway, we take the best out of this snow conditions, and we enjoy nice weather tours in Bucegi mountains. Then we moved in the forest around Brasov city, for a walk in spring weather conditions around the forest of Brasov. As Sander and Ela said, we are so fortunate to live in Brasov, because you can start hiking or biking directl… (>>>)

Tours in the Transylvanian area

Wir verlebten drei abwechslungsreiche Wochen in Siebenbürgen, zauberhafte Landschaften, spektakuläre Karpartengipfel, schöne Städte, nette Menschen….. Zunächst 9 Tage geführte Wanderungen durch die Fagaras und Bucegi Mountains. Dabei zeigte Julian sich als kompetenter und umsichtiger Bergführer, der alle Wege kennt, die Belastungsgrenzen seiner Gäste einschätzen und die Wanderetappen ihren Bedürfnissen und Vorlieben anpassen kann. Auch ein Wetterumschwung mit zwei Tagen Dauerregen ohne Sicht in den Bergen war f… (>>>)

Mountain biking in Brasov city area and Bucegi mountains

If there is something unique about mountain biking in Brasov, Romania, it’s the diversity of landscape and trails you can experience in a relatively small area. It’s always a pleasure to see the excitement of our guests when they witness with their own eyes the smooth transition from forest to alpine teritory, from limestone to conglomerate rock formations, from busy mountain resorts to quiet pastures. from high ridges down to mountain gorges.

Bucegi Circuit, our most popular six-days mountain biking tour, offers g… (>>>)

Romania hiking, Fagaras ridge traverse

Hi Iulian!

What can I say more…the tour was amazing. We really enjoyed being together and getting to know you this time. You are a great guide, but before that, a great human being. I felt comfortable, not stressed and it was a good thing that you were able to adapt the program in function of the weather, etc. Also, I enjoyed our little mountain thief (raspberries, bluberries) 🙂

The mountains are amazingly beautiful, pictures trying to capt how breathtaking the landskape is…but the best is to be over there. Such a special energy.

Rumänien, Wanderung in den südlichen Karpaten

Nach zahlreichen Hüttenwanderungen in den Alpen (E5 und Berliner Höhenweg), den Dolomiten und Korsika in den vergangenen Jahren haben wir uns dieses Jahr entschieden, den Empfehlungen von Freunden zu folgen und in die Karpaten nach Rumänien aufzubrechen. Wir wollten in die unberührte Natur, Land und Leute kennenlernen und vom stressigen Alltag abspannen. Über eine kurze Internetrecherche (die alles in allem nicht viele Treffer ergeben hat) sind wir erst im April auf die Internetseite von Iulian Cozma Outdoor Adventures ges… (>>>)

Mountain biking Romania, Bucegi Circuit with an old Cannondale Lefty bike

Christian came to Romania, from Switzerland, with an old Cannondale bike, hand made in USA, to do our Bucegi Circuit, a six-days mountain biking tour. It was also supposed to be a retiring party for the old bike, to be replaced by a brand new 27.5 full suspension bike.

And a party it was, with perfect weather, perfect trails, relaxed atmosphere – hand made in Romania, by mtbtours.ro and mountainguide.ro  🙂

Hiking Fagaras main ridge, Romanian mountains – meeting high expectations

Things looked pretty difficult when Linda told me, upon arrival, that this trip to Romania was presented to her as “the best hiking trip one can have””. Not before mentioning, as a side note, that she had traveled across the continents, seeing most the world known attractions around the globe :-). In between trips, she was living in a quiet island, famous around the world for harbouring the capital city of British Columbia, Canada.

That’s what I’d call high expectations, I told myself while driving t… (>>>)
