What do Romania walking holidays entail?
What kind of trip is right for me?
Where will I be sleeping?
Outside the cities, you’ll mostly be staying in small, locally owned guesthouses. You can expect comfortable, rustic accommodation, delicious home cooked meals for carnivores and herbivores alike, and host families with probably just a basic grasp of English. Evenings will likely be very quiet, so bringing along a few books, or a pack of cards to play with your fellow guests, is a good idea. Phone chargers are strictly optional.How far will I be walking each day?
Distances and time spent walking vary day by day, and with the type of trip that you choose. A long day might see you cover around 20km over approximately six hours, but most walks are much shorter than that. Some of the gradients will require a bit of puff, but if you walk fairly regularly, and have a reasonable level of fitness, then hiking in Romania shouldn’t present any major challenges.Visiting Libearty Bear Sanctuary
A highlight of walking in Romania for many of our travellers, Libearty was started in 1998 by a Romanian woman, Cristina Lapis, who was appalled by the conditions caged bears were held in around the country. At the time, keeping captive bears was illegal, but the law was rarely enforced as police had nowhere to release the animals after confiscation. With a section of oak forest donated by the town of Zarnesti near Piatra Crialui National Park, Cristina and her organisation created a sanctuary that now houses 70 rescued bears. The animals can frequently be seen emerging from the trees to play and relax in open meadows and freshwater. Libearty is open to visitors every morning except Mondays, and depends in part on donations from the public.Our top Romania walking Holiday
