Hidden Romania -
vast areas of outstanding natural beauty - mountains and lakes, forests and
valleys - all teeming with wildlife
We
take you to see some of the most superb, unexplored scenery in Europe: the lofty
peaks of the Carpathian Mountains; the dense, wild forests of Transylvania;
the immense gorges of Bicaz, Dambovicioara and Polovragi; and the lush, green
valleys of Magura and Apuseni.
See and experience the traditional way of life in the countryside, visit the breathtaking Painted Monasteries of Bucovina, the slender wooden churches of Maramures, and the fortified Saxon villages of Transylvania. Walk and climb in the mountains, or explore dense pine and beech forests still inhabited by the Carpathian brown bear, wolves, deer, wild boar, and the rare lynx. Watch eagles soar, trace secret passages in rambling castles, picnic amid a patchwork of wild flowers, or just sit back and soak up the culture.
We
travel at a leisurely pace to allow you to enjoy to the full, the splendours of
this fascinating country. We stay
overnight in family homes, mountain chalets and forest lodges, where you will
enjoy traditional home cooking and country hospitality at its best.
On some of our tours and several of our treks, you will be camping under
the stars to the sound of Ural owls hooting, and perhaps a wolf howling on a
distant mountain top.
DiscoveRomania specialises in tailor made personalised itineraries and ready-made tours for small groups.
Tell us your particular interests and we will plan a tour or activity just for you, or choose from our list of ready made tours and treks. You can walk, hike, cycle, ski, climb, explore caves, photograph, watch wildlife, ride old steam trains, try your hand at traditional crafts, visit festivals, study wild flowers and plants, stroll in the countryside.... Or you can just relax in the home of a village family and sample wholesome, country fare and home made wine and plum brandy. In this way you experience the real Romania, a land which time has almost forgotten.
