A journey through Romania, one trail at a time.
For our travelers, this 14-day private journey was not simply about visiting Romania’s highlights, but about experiencing the country at their own pace - walking through its landscapes, meeting its history up close, and spending time in places that are often missed on a faster itinerary.
After discovering Bucharest and heading into the Carpathians, their journey became increasingly active. They hiked among the dramatic limestone ridges of Piatra Craiului, before continuing into rural Transylvania, where the scenery changed completely: rolling hills, forests, meadows and centuries-old Saxon villages.
From Viscri, they followed sections of the Via Transilvanica, crossing the peaceful countryside on foot and experiencing a much slower side of Romania. Along the way came fortified churches, traditional villages and places such as Biertan, where history still feels very much part of the landscape.
And towards the end of the journey, the scenery became more dramatic again. In the Fagaras Mountains, they hiked above Balea Lake, surrounded by some of the highest and most impressive peaks in Romania - a fitting finale to a trip that combined culture, history and several memorable days on the trails.
What we especially love about these photos is that they show the journey as it really happened: not just the places, but our travelers moving through them, stopping to take in the views, following the trails and discovering Romania step by step.
Special thanks to our guide Marcel for guiding them along the way!
