The Transylvanian Foothills
- Nature, Culture and History of Transylvania
Thumbnail description:
Host Count Tibor Kalnoky has returned to his origins in
Transylvania after 50 years of exile. You are invited to visit his family's ancestoral
home, the remote little village of Miklósvár, Miclosoara, in the foothills of the
Carpathian mountains. Here we present a proposed two-week itinerary to give an idea
of what can be done during a visit, though a visit of any length is welcome. Everything
from hiking to discovering the local wines and take wagon trips in the countryside is
possible.
In the High Mountains
- Two Weeks in the Southern Carpathians, from the Danube to the
Mountain Tops
Thumbnail description:
Host Radu Creanga is a geographer with many interests,
especially his homeland. Here he proposes a two-week expedition especially for travelers
such as "students, backpackers, hikers, naturalists or nature lovers," who are
in good enough physical shape to do a bit of hiking in order to see the really special
places. The trip is partly by van, partly by train, partly by hiking, and there's even a
little boating if you want. There are plenty of lakes, hot springs and steep-walled gorges
in this trip.
Trekking Romania's High Mountains
Thumbnail description:
Host Iulian Cozma offers reasonably priced Alpine trekking
with a variety of locations, difficulty level and degrees of luxury. Here, just to give an
idea of what is possible, he describes a ten-day itinerary that is mostly backpacking but
with a bit of local culture thrown in as well. Lodging can range from a rugged basecamp,
or evenings can be arranged in Romanian villages, or rather nice hotels when they are
available.
