What do I need to bring with me
The basic equipment needed for a mountain trip during summer time:
- 40-60 litre backpack, chosen according to the tour type.
- Mountain boots covering your ankles; 2 additional pairs of socks.
- Rain wear, jacket and pants. I recommend you to have the jacket and pants, so you will be protected from rain and windy weather. A rain poncho will do too, but only if there are no windy conditions outside.
- Cap, gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen. I strongly advise you to carry a cap and gloves with you – even during the summer season – because it could be quite cold at altitudes over 1700 m.
- Warm clothes. One or two Polartec/Fleece sweaters.
Experience the traditional Transylvanian way of life on a private tour from Brasov to the rural villages of Pestera and Magura. We can visit Bran Castle a.k.a Dracula’s Castle, in the morning.We do a walking tour in the area visiting the Bat Cave enjoying the landscapes and village life, interacting with the locals (3 – 4 hours, easy to medium, up to 12 km). Now, the Bat Cave is a national natural monument, part of the National Park “Piatra Craiului”. Cave entrance is through a narrow corridor, followed by a grotto and a gallery. You can admire the Jurassic limestone formations, formed over centuries, including so-called “tears of the earth”. The cave is not electrified, in order not to change the natural habitat of the bats. Visit the oldest guesthouse in the National Park where we taste several varieties of handcrafted cheese, than we have a farm-fresh cuisine. With a flexible pace and the personalized attention of your guide, it’s a unique and authentic way to experience the Romanian countryside.
