We had an absolutely brilliant time hiking in the Fagaras mountains! Our guide Bogdan was fantastic, picked us up and drove us there. He was very experienced and made sure to show us all the best sights. The hike was spectacular-starting with luscious forests, then into huge snow-covered valleys, climbing to an incredible view of Lake Balea. Finish by descending into Lake Balea for a drink at the hut, and taking the cable car down (getting stunning views of the transfagarasan route and waterfall). The whole day was about 10 hours. One thing to note: We went in early October and by that point there was snow on the mountains. We didn’t quite expect that (we thought there would be no snow yet). It was fine, we had hiking boots, the weather was lovely, and our guide Bogdan provided us with suitable equipment and expertise to guide us hiking through snow but I’d say keep that in mind and make sure to wear suitable clothing!

Ich bin eigentlich sprachlos. Die Tour war absolut perfekt. Erst sind wir die Transfagaras-Straße hoch und dann um die 4 1/2-5 Stunden im Fagras-Gebirge gewandert. Wir haben insgesamt 3 Gipfel mitgenommen und die Aussicht war einfach atemberaubend. Mein Guide Mihai war bestens ausgerüstet und hat mich während der Tour immer mit Infos übers Gebirge informiert. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder machen!
