During April 9th-14th 2009, due to the Easter Holidays, I went hiking for 4 days with Kaoshortanord, Club de Muntanya, from Valencia-Spain. I can say I was pleasantly surprised to find out that, in a city like Valencia, located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, there is a club for mountain tours. Unfortunately our Black Sea cities do not have any hiking clubs at all. Anyway, as I found out during the tour, the weather in Valencia in this time of year was not very „friendly” (rainy and quite cold, as I understood). However… (>>>)

Walking in Bran county (know as Dracula county) is a very nice idea, if you know where to go. The most beautiful routes are traversing mountain villages of Magura, Pestera, Sirnea, Moeciu de Sus, Fundatica, Fundata and Simon, but not on marked routes, so is not easy to find your way. Even with a map is not easy. Not the last, walking near by or traversing near sheep farms can be delicate from sheep dog point of vewi. So be very carefully when you see some dogs. This are sheep dogs not pets! I can say that last week the weather was very nice for walk… (>>>)

Greetings, below you may see some photos from 14 & 15 June, from Ciucas mountains traverse, and climbing Dragus north ridge from Fagaras mountains. The weather on both days were nice. Ciucas is a gentle mountains, with nice views, and the walk was easy for all the persons. Today was a quite a long day, almost 10 hours of hiking and 23 kilometers, but the views from up there deserve the effort. The next hike was from Negoiu hut to Scara peak, and descending to Barcaciu hut. Pictures below. Kind regards, Iulian Cozma www.mountainguide.… (>>>)

Hello! You may find below some images from a 2 days tour, when I traverse Bucegi mountains with a group of students from Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium, from Erlangen town, from Germany. The original plan was that we will go up to Bucegi mountains by the cable car from Busteni, but our plans were ruined by the cable car station from Busteni who was broke again … So next morning we travel to Sinaia Cota 1400’s by 2 small buses, and here we were very lucky because we catch the cable care up to Cota 2000 from Sinaia, where we start our w… (>>>)

Between July 2 and July 9, I was organizing a hiking and a walking tour for a group from Sweden. The tour was in Fagaras mountains and in Maramures county. In Fagaras we hiked in Barcaciu – Negoiu areas, and in Maramures county around Botiza – Ieud – Barsana – Poienile Izei and Glod villages. We were in Maramures exactly on the right period to be able to enjoy the flowers on the hills. Iulian Cozma – July 25th, from Balea Lac in Fagaras mountains

Climbing Moldoveanu peak, the highest peak in Romanian mountains can be a easy job, or a hard one! For the four of us (Sarah, Hannah, David and me, Iulian) I can say it was a easy job with a wet ending, however it was great! The tour began in Balea Lac, with one day warm up, climbing Buteanu peak, one of the peaks over 2500 meters high from Romanian mountains, that offers one of the best views from all Fagaras range, but of course, you have to be there on the right time, otherwise is possible to just eat your sandwich in the clouds! We „chose&… (>>>)

On the first day of the trip we, Silja, ?, Thomas, Rosana and me, Iulian, traverse Bucegi mountains, from Sinaia to Bangaleasa valley, over Omu peak.
