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.

 

  • We pick you up from your location in Brasov at 8:30 to start an authentic 2 day adventure program in Transylvanian Alps, driving on Transfagarasan Highway as know as “the Road to the Sky”, “the Road to the Clouds”, “the Best Driving Road in the World” and even “A spectacular Monument to Earth-Moving Megalomania”!
  • Transfagarasan road is open between July 1 – October 31!
  • We hike to Balea Waterfall – the highest step-waterfall in Romania, more than 60 metres tall. We visit Balea Lake, Vidraru Dam, Poienari Fortress, the real Vlad Tepes’ Residential Castle – access to the citadel is made by climbing the 1,480 concrete stairs.
  • We hike on the epic Stan’s Gorge – a 4 hours hiking trip on an impressive canyon with ladders and via ferrata or we hike on the main ridge of Fagaras Mountains starting from Balea Lake for about 4-6 hours.
  • We choose the hike depending of the weather forecast.
