Via ferrata in Eastern Carpathians

Posted on 04/10/2018 by Carpathian Trekking

First time in Romania… first time on via ferrata… and more to come, from now on!

Few days ago we made a lovely trip in Eastern Carpathians (Hasmas Mts.) with a very enjoyable couple from Israel looking for outdoor adventure in Carpathians.

We done two beautiful via ferrata routes nearby Lacu Rosu area (Bicaz Gorges), both ranked around C-D with 150-200m in elevation.

As a result…

”Thanks a lot for the pictures! They are really beautiful and it’s a great memory of our 2 days trip with you. Thank you so much for that!!!! We really enjoyed it. We’ll contact you for our next trip in Romania :)”

(Lauren Carmeli, Israel)

Family walking in Brasov Mountains

Posted on 17/08/2018 by Carpathian Trekking

We are in full summer season and all mountain paths from Brasov mountains are full with mountain lovers.

These days we have been in Piatra Mare and Bucegi Mountain, with a lovely Spanish – Romanian family, willing to to do as much as possible.

The ”Șapte Scări” Canyon very close to Brasov is a popular objective, a place not to be missed. You just need a waterproof jacket for the canyon itself and do not go there in weekends!

Another day we went above 2.000m altitudine, on the high alpine plateau of Bucegi Mountains Natural Park. Here you can find many geological figures, including the most popular ”Babele” and ”Sfinx”, surrounded by legends and strange stories.

Regarding Bucegi plateau, must be said that despite the flat and easy terrain in full sunny days, the plateau is a huge trap for those who forget where they are: on a high and open plateau above 2.000m altitude!

Active families in Brasov Mountains

Posted on 10/07/2018 by Carpathian Trekking

At the beginning of July, we organized a series of outdoor activities for families with children in the mountains of Braşov – Zarnesti area, about which we wrote a beautiful guide book – lovely mountains accessible regardless of the weather conditions.

Of course, we avoided the classical, popular and crowded objectives such as Râşnov Fortress, Bran Castle or Zarnesti Bear Reserve, trying to discover together with our “guests” unusual places and far from tourist crowds.

Hiking on “hidden” trails, rock climbing both children and parents or even lonely ones (the brave!), mountain biking, explorations in the underground darkness and plenty of other collateral activities that have made the delights of the big and small ones.
