Guðrun Eysturlíð in Romania– Tórshavn, Faroe Islands – April 2010

I påsken 2010 var jeg i Bucegi-bjergene sammen med Iulian Cozma, som en ven havde anbefalet mig at bruge som guide. Turen begyndte med, at Iulian kom med mig til Bukarest for at købe udstyr, hvilket jeg fik til yderst rimelige priser. Derefter kørte vi sydover mod Brasov, hvor det bjergrige landskab åbnede sig for os, og hvorfra, turen op i bjergene skulle begynde dagen efter.

Vejret var ikke det allerbedste, sneen var for tung og for våd til at vi kunne gå godt med steigeise, hvilket gjorde, at turen for en nybegynder som mig var utrolig an… (>>>)

Vom 7. bis 12. März 2010 war ich zum Tourenskifahren in den Karpaten

Mit Julian hatten wir einen Bergführer, der nicht nur organisatorisch alles bestens im Griff hatte, sondern sich auch als äußerst kompetenter und angenehmer Führer in allen Situationen erwies. Besonders beeindruckt haben mich seine detaillierten Ortskenntnisse und sein Geschick, auch bei manchmal schwierigen Umständen (Lawinengefahr durch viel Neuschnee, unterschiedliche Wetterbedingungen) immer sehr schöne Touren und ganz besonders schöne Abfahrten in herrlichem Pulverschnee zu finden. So konnten wir die Berge i… (>>>)

Grazie Iulian per la splendida settimana passata assieme

Con il tour della Romania concludiamo il trittico di scialpinismo dei Paesi dell’Est,che ci ha visti prima in Slovacchia,Bulgaria,ed infine in Romania. Oltre all’esperienza sportiva in sè,siamo stati molto soddisfatti della preparazione professionale di Iulian e soprattutto del rapporto di amicizia creatosi con lui. Iulian ha capito fin da subito ,grazie alla sua mentalità molto aperta,che il nostro gruppo,non essendo abituato ad essere accompagnato da guide alpine,avrebbe faticato a seguire le direttive di un leader,e … (>>>)

Bucegi mountains ski tour, 20-21 February 2010

For me it was the second time that I went on a trip with Iulian. Like last time (when I hiked to the highest peak in Romania – Moldoveanu) everything was very well organized by Iulian. We enjoyed good weather, snow was maybe not so ideal (too wet and heavy the first day and too icy the second day), but at least we knew at the end of these two days why we were tired. The Bucegi mountains are ideal for ski touring – and it’s good to have a guide like Iulian who knows the region and prevents you from going in the wrong direction. We stayed the night in a cozy … (>>>)

New York music journalist in Fagaras mountains

Dear Iulian, you definitely deserve this! Sorry that it’s US currency – we didn’t have enough lei and we couldn’t find any banks in the Danube Delta. But you can send this directly to B&H photo … We hoped that our guide in the mountains would be as knowledgeable as responsible as you were. We were truly impressed, though, by your thoughtfulness and attention. I certainly never expected to borrow a tripod and long lens to get better photographs. I hope we’ll keep in touch and get to see you again, either here or in New York. Thanks very muc… (>>>)

New York hikers in Romania

Dear Iulian, thank you so very much for a wonderful time in your wonderful country. I appreciate your patience with us, (especially on the hiking part) but most of all I thank you for the wonderful options you offered when the weather didn’t cooperate and especially for putting together this week’s adventures. I certainly didn’t expect to spend my birthday in Bulgaria! The Danube Delta was wonderful and beautiful! It was a pleasure to be with you and to get to know you and, as Scott says, I too hope we can keep in touch!

Kindest regards, Lau… (>>>)

Fagaras mountains Romania

Min kusine Britt og jeg fik , takket være Iulian Cozma , en fantastisk og oplevelsesrig uge i Rumænien fra den 19de til den 26de september . På den første dag , i Bucegi Bjergene , skinnede solen fra en skyfri himmel – og det fortsatte den med resten af ugen . Fra Sinaia tog vi tovbanen 700 m op til vi var over trægrænsen . Her var goldt og koldt , så vi måtte have handsker og huer på. Vi gik 300 meget lange meter op til Omu Peak . Hvor vi , foran en lille hytte hvor man kunne købe suppe , kaffe og meget sød te , nød udsigten udover bjerget . Vi følte os klar til … (>>>)

Danish hikers in Fagaras mountains

Thanks to Iulian Cozma , my cousin Britt and I had a fantastic and eventful week in Romania from the 19th to the 26th of September. On the first day , in the Bucegi Mountains, the sky was clear and the sun was shining as it did throughout the week. From Sinaia we took the cable car 700 m up till we were above the tree line. It was barren and cold, so we had to put on our hats and gloves. We walked 300 very long meters up to Omu Peak. Here we sat, in the sun, in front of a wooden cottage where one could buy soup, coffee and very sweet tea, and enjoyed the view ov… (>>>)

The Dilettante Society with members from Sweden, UK and Switzerland

We had a marvellous 6 –day trek in the beautiful Carpathian mountains of Transylvania, mostly at an altitude of 1800 – 2500 metres. The landscape is beautiful and varied, with impressive forest at lower altitude and alpine as one gets higher. Wildlife is plentiful. We saw chamois on several occasions, came across fresh bear droppings and wild boar tracks. The trails are good and well maintained. The terrain can be quite challenging but still well within the abilities of a bunch of fairly fit 50 – 60 year olds. We were lucky with the weath… (>>>)

Prof.Dr. Fritz Dolder – Hochschule für Technik, Zürich

Die Fagaras Gratwanderroute bietet fantastische Bergwanderungen in einer atemberaubend wilden und einsamen Natur, wie man sie in Westeuropa nicht mehr findet. Berggewohnte Touristen aus den Alpen sollten allerdings die Anforderungen von Wanderungen in den Südkarpathen nicht unterschätzen: Obschon die Gipfel und Grate ?nur? Höhen zwischen 2000 und 2500 m erreichen, können die Touren dennoch recht anstrengend sein: Sie weisen teilweise ziemlich steile und auch rutschige Stellen (T3) auf, welche die volle Aufmerksamkei… (>>>)
