Roving Romania
Explore the REAL Romania – the vast ranges of the Carpathian Mountains; the dense, wild forests of
Transylvania; immense gorges; lush green valleys; extraordinary painted monasteries; fortified citadels;
medieval towns. Walk, cycle, climb, photograph, track wildlife, try your hand at traditional crafts, study
wild flowers, wander in the countryside, picnic in the fields - or just relax in the home of a village family
and sample wholesome, country fare with home made wine and plum brandy.

When?
- Primarily mid-April to December/New Year.

Warm and usually dry weather is best appreciated in May/June (excellent time for wild flowers, hay meadows
and migrating birds) and September/October (autumn colours). Temperatures in the mountains, Transylvania
and the North are not too hot even in July/August.
-
Road travel is usually by Land Rover or 4x4 (occasionally by minibus for groups of more than 4 people). Hard
winter conditions (heavy snow and ice) can make long distance travel unpredictable in winter – hence special
arrangements may be needed at these times.

gravel tracks in the mountains and forests. Note: we do not offer competitive offroading,
