Walking tour in Carpathians, Bucegi mountains, Romania

Maybe the mountains are the same as last weekend, but the weather, the clouds and the hikers make the difference as always. This weekend, 26-27 November, I was traversing Bucegi mountains with Beth, Carmen, Marc and Catalin, on a easier but challenging route. We hiked on the plateau of Bucegi mountains from Babele cable car station to Omu peak the highest peak in Bucegi mountains, enjoying the views which surround us wherever we look, because the weather was one more time on our side.

I left Brasov early morning, the clouds were the same … (>>>)

Challenging hiking in Romania, Bucegi mountains

I meet Mike almost three years ago, when he asked me for another challenging tour in Romanian mountains, climbing Moldoveanu peak, our highest peak, in just two days. Usually when somebody ask about this type of tour, are two options: very well prepared for hiking, or didn’t know exactly how are Fagaras mountains. Well, Mike do not disappoint me, and he’s part of the first option, very well prepared for hiking, in fact he’s a Marathon runner. So three years ago we were just fast and happy (not furious like the movie) t… (>>>)

Walking day tour in Romania, Bran village hills

Was a beautiful Monday morning when we start our walk on the hills of Bran village. I hiked on this hills few weeks ago with Beth and Marc, and it was almost winter. But the sunny and cold days of Autumn came back, and we were able to enjoy a walk on a sunny day, having the opportunity too see all the mountains and nature around us.  Bucegi and Piatra Craiului mountains offer us some of the best opportunities to take nice pictures, and of course we didn’t miss them.

Enjoy the photos, Iulian, November 2011

Week end hiking in Fagaras mountains

Middle of August was hot and busy! It was a weekend tour during one of the busiest weekend for those who choose to go by car up to Balea Lake! I mean, was very busy! I have to walk on the road for 3 km to arrive at the hut, because the latest 3-4 km from Transfagarasean highway was full with cars…

It was a tour like the tours have to be! I’m not saying that I not enjoy all my tours, because I really enjoy all my tours, but this one was special because of the tranquility of the Astird, Susanne and Holger, and not the last, because like all this summer, the weather was the right one for a hike in Fagaras mountains!

Drumetie montana pe dealurile satului Simon

Salut,Ziua de 10 Septembrie am petrecut-o intr-o excursie, insotind in zona Bran – Moeciu, un frumos grup de tineri din Bucuresti. Tura noastra a inceput in satul Simon cu multa voie buna. Vremea frumoasa si atmosfera tinereasca au impanzit dealurile care au rasunat de rasete si glume care au dat viata locurilor.
