Saved to wishlist!
Situated among the craggy peaks of the Carpathian Mountains, Piatra Craiului National Park offers a chance to experience Romania’s scenic beauty and rural ways of life that remain largely unchanged by the 21st century. Make your way to central Brașov to meet your local guide, and climb aboard an air-conditioned vehicle for the 1-hour drive to the park.
Along the way, learn about the area’s geography and history, and decide with your small group which of two hiking routes you’d like to take, depending on weather conditions and the group’s abilities. Expect to cover 6 to 9 miles over 5 or 6 hours, including a stop for lunch.
See Itinerary below for a detailed description of each route.
After your hike, you have the option to stop at the fairytale-like Bran Castle on the return drive to Brașov (own expense). If the group agrees, explore the grand Gothic halls and turrets of this hilltop fortress, which has ties to the inspiration of the Dracula legend.
