Hiking and wedding party in Romania, Fagaras and Bucegi mountains

The main reason for Laura and James to came to Romania, was the wedding of James brother at the beautiful Cantacuzino castle in Busteni town. As keen walkers in UK they also choose to enjoy some hikes in Romania, before and after the wedding.

It was a three days tour, starting from Victoria town, accommodation at Podragu hut. The weather forecast didn’t look great, but even a rain is beautiful some… (>>>)

Beautiful Romania, hiking and boating, Bucovina and Danube Delta

I hiked first time with Mila and Jose back on 2008, in Bucegi and Fagaras mountains. They are Israeli citizens with Romanian roots and families, and because the love at first sight is hard to forger, they return in Romania for nature tours. And on summer of 2019 Mila and Jose organize a tour for another 12 friends from Israel, to introduce them to the beautiful nature of Romania. And the area we choose represent Romanian nature well and with pride: Danube Delta, the forestry Carpathians and the bucolic hills from Bucovina.

Mountain biking in the Transylvanian Alps, Romania

Mountain biking in the Transylvanian Alps, Romania

It was a long wait, but totally worth it. Scheduled to take place in June 2020, the Transylvanian Alps tour with a small group of brave Belgian mountain bikers finally happened in September 2021. Ciucaș, Baiului, Bucegi and Piatra Craiului Mountains offered us some unforgettable days.

The Covid pandemic might have dramatically changed the world around us, but the mountains are as beautiful as ever. The Carpathians offer some unique combination of pure alpine territory, vast areas with little to no now human presence. And loads of i… (>>>)

Mtb in Transylvania

The year of the COVID pandemic put a sudden stop to travelling abroad, here as everywhere. Our regular tours were put on hold, as our guests weren’t able to fly to Romania. However, people living in Romania were invited to have a closer look on the local adventure tourism options.

Like our friend Tom, who in his working hours in Bucharest makes some truly brilliant, mouth watering sourdough bread. He decided that he needs to do more about his free time, exploring the local mountains, experiencing what Romania has to offer. And in w… (>>>)

Many say that the 2019 season marked the end of an era for the various leisure industries, including adventure tourism.

Ski touring season in Romania, 2020 winter

Ski touring season in Romania, 2020 winter

The 2019-2020 skiing season was, to put it mildly, a weird one. It started with a very long and warm autumn, delaying the first snow up the mountains for the end of December. It continued with a cold but dry January, followed by a warm and rainy (when not dry) February and March. We were still hoping for some good snow later in March or April, two months that are normally rather good for ski touring at higher altitudes in the Carpathian Mountains. What we got, however, was the Covid-19 pandemic, with victims exceeding 200,000 worldwide, wit… (>>>)

Israeli group of friends in Danube Delta and Bucovina historical regions

Explore Romania, Danube Delta and Bucovina

חזרנו זה עתה, קבוצה של 20 אנשים, לא צעירים במיוחד, אבל מלאי התלהבות ורצון להכיר את רומניה. עבור אללה שכבר ביקרו כאן, בחרנו הפעם מסלול פחות תיירותי שכלל את השפך של דנובה והאזור הצפון- מזרחי של רומניה ( בוקובינה ומולדביה). זאת הייתה משימה לא קלה : 2 אזורים מרוחקים זה מזה ומאוד שונים מכל בחינה שהיא. לא קל למצוא מדריך או מורה דרך שיקח על עצמו משימה מסוג זה, אבל בעזרתו של יוליאן ושל הוריה, הדבר תפס עור וגידים ויצאנו לדרך. זכינו בגדול בנופים מדהימים, מקומות לינה חלומיים, אוכל אגדתי, מזג אוויר נפלא. בקיצור חוויה של פעם בחיים. יאמר לזכותו של יוליאן שארגן … (>>>)
