Hike through the East of Fagaras mountains from 20-23 August 2014

As Karin said, was a smooth, quiet and relaxing tour! As in every autumn, I’m happy to enjoy at least one tour in Fagaras mountains, my home mountains…..and this year Karin was the one who “invite” me on a tour up there. Karin was a mathematics teacher at Doamna Stanca high school in Fagaras town, on the start of ’70, and she used to hike sometime up in Fagaras mountains. Now, after so many years she came back to visit some friends, and to enjoy a hike up there! We agreed first for a long traverse of Fagaras, fro… (>>>)

Walking holidays tour in Romania, Bran county

For my husband and his brother this was the first time visiting Romania. I wanted to make sure this hiking trip was one of the most memorable of our many hiking trips. When a good friend of mine recommended Iulian, I didn’t hesitate to contact him. My request was to hike places where the view was breathtaking, peaceful, and serene. I must say Iulian delivered on all levels. He is knowledgeable, helpful and made our trip spectacular. Everywhere we looked while hiking the view looked like a post card. We plan on returning to see more of … (>>>)

Walking holiday in Transylvania, Romania, Bran county

Noemi is originally from Fagaras town, my home town, but as few “Fagaraseni” she choose to live in US, getting married in US, and enjoy her life on the other part of the world.

During their short holiday in Romania, wedding, family relatives visits, they enjoyed a two days walk on the high hills of South East Transylvania, on the high hills of Bran country, Brasov’s city backyard.

And we were very lucky with weather! On the night before the trip were very heavy rains all over, but as you may see on the photos, during our wa… (>>>)

Hiking and walking in Romania, Fagaras and Bucegi mountains

It was a pretty wet summer, but if you know how to make from this an advantage it works very well for both parties! Like this was happen during my tour with Franck and Sibille, on early July this year. Frank was hiking in Fagaras mountain almost 30 years ago, and was coming back to hike them again.

After a pleasant evening in Ucea de Sus village, we start our journey to Fagaras mountains. Weather in this beautiful mountains was so so, and after three days there we decide to move in Brasov backyard, the high hills of Poarta and Moeciu de Sus villag… (>>>)

With kind regards, Valdas Danielius & friends, Lithuania, August 2014… (>>>)

Israeli walkers in Carpathian garden, Romania

Few years ago, an Israeli hiker told me: you can leave me here, near this river, and I just stay to look at the running water for hours or days! What we need is green forest and running water! And Paz was right! Almost every year a group of Israeli nature lovers choose to hike or bike with us. And each time we are surprised how “hungry” for nature they are. The weather is not so important if they are out in back-country, even if is rainy or beautiful sunny day, because they are enjoying every moment of their holiday in our Carpathian g… (>>>)

Mtb experience in Romania, Brasov area mountains

One of the many reasons to enjoy very much what we are doing is the chance to meet interesting and diverse people. Everybody we hike/bike/ski with, shares the same love for the mountains, still each group remains unique in its own way.

The last biking group we had was from Germany. It was surprising to see their equipment, following a week of biking with a group of Swedes pretty much up to date with everything related to mountain biking gear – and not just gear. Our four German friends were made from a different fabric: more than 10 yea… (>>>)

Single trail mtb in the mountains around Brasov City, Romania

We’ve been biking with our Swedish friends on the trails around Brasov for three years now and it just keeps getting better. The boys are a joy to watch, a continuous source of inspiration and awe. Their bmx origin is pretty obvious when you see them biking, and the combination of pure biking skills with a proper mountain-trail equipment and scenery simply works wonders.

For us it’s also a perfect opportunity not just to learn, but also to search for new trails. And we are happy to inform you that the possibilities are pretty … (>>>)

Mountain biking ride in Romania, Transylvania

These guys ensured we had a truly memorable experience in the Carpathians: a relatively untouched corner of Europe, steeped in history, with great scenery, varied rides on good trails, friendly people and comparatively low prices. Amazingly, we didn’t see a single other mountain biker during our trip in early June – the secret has to get out soon! We couldn’t fault the organisation: everything was well thought-out, yet with enough flexibility to allow changes / detours as we saw fit. Without a doubt, Horia was the best … (>>>)

Israeli group walking in Romanian mountains, Transylvania and more

חזרנו מטיול של 10 ימים בהרי הקרפטים ברומניה. טיול מיוחד ומקסים שנתפר עבורנו כחליפה אישית. כל מה שרצינו ראינו ועשינו, טיילנו ברגל בשבילי הרים ויערות, בלב נופים מופלאים, נדדנו בין בקתות הרועים לחוות האיכרים כשאנו טועמים מכל טוב הארץ, ביקרנו בארמונות ועיירות ציוריות, ובעיקר חשנו ברגלינו את יופיו של הטבע המופלא בהרי הקרפטים. כל זה לא היה מתאפשר לנו בשלמות כזו אלמלא התלווה אלינו המדריך שלנו יוליאן קוסמה מרומניה. את הקשר עימו יצרנו עוד בארץ. ביקשנו שיתאים טיול ל 8 חברים בני כ-50 שמבקשים לחוות את נופיה של רומניה ברגליים, אבל יחד עם זאת ליהנות מהח… (>>>)
