Private Hiking Tour In The Carpathian Mountains

Departure hour & location: 09:00 a.m., in front of your hotel

Are you searching for a hiking adventure that feels truly wild and off the beaten path? Look no further than the Carpathian Mountains. Stretching across Central and Eastern Europe, this breathtaking range offers a raw, unforgettable experience far removed from the crowded trails of the Alps.

Why the Carpathians should be your next Hiking destination:

Wilderness at its best: These mountains are home to Europe’s largest populations of brown bears, wolves, and lynx. Hiking here means immersing yourself in vast, unfragmented forests and experiencing a true sense of wild nature.

A Trek for every level: Whether you're a seasoned mountaineer or a casual walker, the Carpathians have a trail for you. Experienced hikers can tackle the challenging Moldoveanu Peak in Romania's Făgăraș Mountains, while beginners can enjoy easier routes in Bucegi National Park.

Culture and history: Beyond the peaks, you'll encounter a rich human history. Wander through medieval Transylvanian villages, stay in cozy mountain huts, and pass ancient castles that inspired folklore.

Lakes, ridges, and gorges: From the glacial lakes of Romania's Retezat National Park to the dramatic limestone ridge of Piatra Craiului and the gorges of Slovak Paradise, the terrain is incredibly diverse and visually stunning.

Program:

In the morning, we drive to Balea Cascada, in the Fagaras Mountains - the highest mountains of Romania. From here, we will hike to the highest waterfall in Romania – the Balea Waterfall. Then we will hike through Balea Valley up to the Balea Glacier Lake. After a picnic break, we will climb to the peak at 2417 m. Here we will have a nice overview of Walachia, Transylvania, and also of the spectacular Transfagarasan road.

In the afternoon, we will drive back to the hotel where you are checked in.
