Rambling in Transylvania
A Walk Between an Empire and a Kingdom!Get to know one of the Transylvanian villages at a leisurely pace. Get close to the real character of the mountain villages as you enjoy a relaxing rambling day trip with beautiful scenery and a network of trails that could be rewarding to explore on foot.Located at a-one hour drive from Brasov, it's a great place for all kinds of outdoor activities – among them walking, the activity you experience with our licensed guides.The rolling hills afford wide views over the entire region with stunning landscapes of the mountains: Bucegi Natural Park, Piatra Craiului National Park, Postavaru Massif.Whilst many of the villages in the area are heavily visited, it is possible to walk here and experience real authentic village life.The walking grade is easy to moderate, in a round trip for walkers looking to explore a corner of Transylvania way off the tourist trail.After our 10-12 km hike a well deserved lunch awaits for us at a local guesthouse.
