“The day we went we drove through thick fog and arrived in a downpour. Alex offered to drive us to the lake and waterfalls rather than hike in the rain. We were dead set on hiking so we hiked. The hike is moderately challenging and through a beautiful forest along the gorge. The color of the lake, even in the rain, was beautiful. We then hiked to the waterfall which was truly beautiful.

“Beware it is a long day! But it is well worth it. Lots of riding in the car but I enjoyed looking at the country side. You will do a bit of hiking but there will be beautiful views. And the little towns ( villages) are very quaint and the people are very nice. We went in November so I guess it’s like a shoulder month so not so much people. And our tour guide ( Andrei) was great.”

Spend two days hiking the Bucegi Mountains from Bucharest, with Peles and Bran castles, Omu Hut views, private transport, and Padina lodging.
“Andrew was brilliant and attentive to all our needs - he knew the area so well which really helped when I had an injury and had to take a more gentle route down. We are not terribly experienced hikers but would say it was a moderate hike. The landscape was stunning and the cabin we stayed in Padina was comfortable with good food. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable about Romania and its history, and gave us a very detailed overview of the area which made the castles all the more interesting. We really appreciated how personalised the tour was and had a fantastic time. Highly recommended!”
