I enjoyed a fantastic and memorable one day hike with Dan in the Ciucas mountains! Dan was very attentive to meeting my hiking ability and requests for a challenging and scenic hike with lots of photo opportunities. I was not disappointed! The mountains are a beautiful reflection of what Romania has to offer! On the way down the mountain, unfortunately an old hiking knee injury of mine reappeared which slowed down the descent, but Dan was very patient and helpful! I appreciated this very much! Overall, a great day out! I look forward to my next visit to the Mountains soon!

Description

The Ciucaş Mountains are some of the most spectacular in Romania, and are part of the Carpathian range. They boast amazing landscapes and are a perfect choice for both trekkers and photographers.

Some of the highlights of this tour include: bizarre rock formations (The Pigeon, The Tower of Goliath, The Elephant), great photo opportunities from Ciucaş Peak (1954 metres) and 360-degree views of Bucegi, Piatra Craiulu and Brașov.

In the morning we’ll head out of Bucharest towards Vălenii de Munte, Cheia and the Bratocea Pass. We’ll continue hiking in the Bratocea area, enjoy spectacular views from Ciucaş Peak and return to Bucharest in the evening.

This tour is available all year round. There’s usually a lot of snow in wintertime and early spring (December to April), so winter equipment is required.

The hiking tour with Dan is an incredible journey to a world that must be seen to believe. Dan will tailor the tour to your desires whether you are after a hiking challenge or a more relaxing and scenic adventure. This is a unique opportunity to see the mountains in Romania without the big tourist crowds!
That ingenious hike i will never forget. Mountains like in Lord of the Rings whitewashed in the hot red autumsunlight. Thank you Dan, for having uns shown this peace of paradise. Joa.
