Romania is a hiker's paradise, with many quiet, beautiful trails through forest, hill and mountain terrain. Romania's diverse and wonderful scenery ranges from lowland woods and rolling hills to alpine rocks and meadows. Hiking is a great way to experience Romania's diverse wildlife, including a spectacular variety of wildflowers, extensive birdlife, and interesting forest flora and fauna.

Hiking routes vary from easy day walks to strenuous hikes through high, remote mountains. Accommodation options include comfortable guesthouses and hotels for the easier routes, remote mountain cabins on the wilder trails, and camping well off the beaten track.
