Walking holiday with varying degrees of difficulty combined with legends, castle and Dracula! The 8 day itinerary below is typical, but there are a lot of walks possible in the area, and we are happy to adapt to group ideas where appropriate. We reserve the right to change the walks as necessary to suit the local weather conditions. Depending on flight arrangements there may be a chance to see more(or less!) on days 1 and 8. Outline itinerary below, more information available on request.

Hard trip in the Bucegi Mountain National Park. We climb the flanks of the Bucegi mountains along Devils Waterfall to the highest peak of the range (Omu, 2505m), before exploring the inner plateau, on the long circuit which returns us to the Moeciu valley, and then to Cheia.

Mountain village walk, which takes in the Dimbovicioara gorges, and gives you the chance to get your feet ( and more!) wet.

Meet Dracula on this day of sights and sounds of Translyvania, see the old centre of Brasov. Short walk options for those who want.
