Carpathian Mountains Off-Road Adventure: Myths & Natural Wonders
Fresh air, mountain scenery, relaxation… Yet, this is more than your usual day trip into the wilderness: alpine roads, natural wonders, legends of the ancient Dacians, and an old monastery hidden in a cave. Yes, it’s a day trip to Bucegi, some of the most beautiful mountains in Romania!
Duration 12 hours
Private tour available in English
Group tour pricing from 307 EUR per person
Great customised private tour through the Carpathian mountains.
The trip included; off-roading through the mud, hiking through a valley next to a beautiful river, walking around gorgeous lakes, meeting locals sheepherders with their animals, snowball fight on top of a mountain, amazing views, exploring the caves and a great lunch!
We had two amazing tour guides that were super friendly, happy and were happy to answer any questions.
Great experience, definitely worth it to see the beauty of Romania!

Description
We'll drive from Bucharest to Sinaia, where we’ll jump in our 4×4 off-road vehicles and cross the mountains via the beautiful Trans-Bucegi alpine road.
Stop 1: Camping Zănoaga
We’ll leave the cars behind and, after a bit of hiking, reach the entrance to the Zanoagei Gorge. Here, wilderness is at its best: a small stream passing between two giant walls of stone, abundant vegetation, and beautiful bridges from where you can take photos.
Stop 2: Bolboci Lake, the “sea of Bucegi”
Standing on top of the dam, you can admire the beautiful reflections of the lake. Next, we’ll take the cars on a 4 km, purely off-road trail up to the Bridge of Flowers plateau. The view from the top? Well, this is a surprise. No spoilers!
Stop 3: Ialomitei Cave and Monastery
A place of legends and myths, some being related to our ancestors – the ancient Dacian civilisation.
Stop 4: Padina Plateau
After visiting the cave and monastery, we’ll return to Padina and stop at a traditional log cabin for lunch. Finally, it’s back to Sinaia and then straight to Bucharest.
