Hiking vacation in Fagaras mountains and Ucea de Sus village

Omer, Ray, Or and Oran came to Romania form Israel to hike in the Fagaras Mountains. And some epic hiking they did: they were faced with harder physically and more challenging technically trails than they anticipated (or expected), but what they lacked in specific mountain skills (and gear) they more than compensated with determination, positive thinking and good humor. Always in the mood for singing, no matter how steep or rocky the mountain trails were, or how tired their legs were.We had our share of clouds but almost no rain (it on… (>>>)

Exploring Romanian mountains

I was asked many times by my guests if I’m not bored to do tours in the past 11 years over and over the same places, over and over same mountains, and clearly my answer is NO! First of all, I did tours with hundreds of different guests, from all over the world, and all of them have different stories to share, and all of them were surprised by my country, Romania. I can say that most of them came with not so many expectations about a hiking or a cultural tour in Romania, but at the end of the tour they really changed their opinion about my country… (>>>)

Discovering Fagaras mountains, The Transylvanian Alps, flora and fauna

I can say that the trip into Fagaras mountains from middle of August 2011 together with Ursula and Christop was really a nice tour, with a lot of interesting things to see.

Our tour start on Lady valley in middle of Fagaras, and end on Sambata valley on East part of Fagaras mountains.

Starting with the first day, we’re be able to di… (>>>)

Wandern und Kultur in Transsilvanien

 100% Rumänien, 100% Sommer, 100% Urlaub

Hallo,

zwischen dem 13 und 20 August bin ich zusammen mit Oli und Annika im Baiului- und Bucegigebirge sowie im Brangebiet und Piatra-Craiului-Gebirge (Königstein) unterwegs gewesen. Es war ein wunderschöne Tour und trotz der Hitze und des  im Stau Stehens  haben wir die herrliche Landschaft und autentische rumänische

Erlebnisse genossen. Wie Oli und Annika meinten: „Wenn wir alles wie in Deutschland haben wollten dann wären wir lieber zu Hause geblieben“. Ihr bewundernswerter Standp… (>>>)

Bergwandern in den Siebenbürger Alpen

Last year, on July 2010, I hiked with Christian from Stuttgart on the Fagaras main ridge, from far East to Podragu hut, on Central part of Fagaras mountains. We did this hike camping on a tent on the main ridge of Fagaras for 3 days. I can say the weather was not as we expected, was raining all the time, but even like this we climbed Moldoveanu peak, and we enjoy some tough hikes.

This year, on July 2011, Christian return to his favorite mountains, Fagaras mountains, for another challenging tour. This time we had great weather. On this year hik… (>>>)

Traveler to Romania, walking and culture

End of June offer the possibility to enjoy a tour through Transylvania, Maramures and Bucovina counties, Dracula castle, wooden churches and painted monasteries. It was a long tour, almost 2 weeks, and during those two weeks weather was quite challenging. From high temperatures in Bucegi mountain to zero Celsius and  snow up in Fagaras mountains, and good weather for walking in Maramures county, we had them all. Was a tour for those type of persons who are really interested to see as much they can during those two weeks, and they enjoy… (>>>)

Walking tour, Dracula county to painted monasteries in Moldova

June 2010 was a awkward summer month in Romania, with plenty of rain and cold weather. Not for Sonia and Scott, who spent about two weeks in the mountains, at the painted monasteries in Bucovina and in the Danube Delta.

We trekked through the Bucegi mountains, around Bran, Poarta, Simon, Moeciu, Fundata mountain villages and we enjoyed really good weather. It only rained over night, when we were safe back at our pension in Poarta (great food, brilliant place, quiet and relaxing place to rest after a long walking day) or at Padina.

After a … (>>>)

Wandern durch das Märchenreich…

Wandern durch das Märchenreich,

In der Zeit von 20 und 22 Juni wir haben zusamen mit Max und Birgit eine Tour in den Bran Gebiet. Diese Platzt ist ein der meist pittoresk in Rumänien durch die Bucegi und Königstein Gebirge, Bran Schloss, durch die traditionelle Bergdörfer (Bran, Poarta, Simon, Moeciu) und Hofs. Doch, dieses mal in Zusammenhang mit dem guten Wetter und die Weiden ganz mit Blumen, dieser Ort war wie Märchenreich. Wie es war duch so ein Landschaft zu wandern können Sie in die Photos schauen.

Climbing highest peak in Romania

Greetings, In October 2010 I tried with Beth and Marc to climb Moldoveanu peak, on a three days hike, but the weather was not on our side. Up at Podragu hut was already snow, and too much snow for a safe climb on the top of Romania, Moldoveanu peak, 2544 m high, so we had to re-schedule the tour.

And we decide to do the tour on June 16-18, this year, and we succeeded, as you may see on the photos below. The tour start from Balea lake, with a wonderful hike to Podragu hut. Corina just opened Podragu hut with a day before we arrived there, so all was good … (>>>)
