Boots on Roots

Adventure is our middle name.
Every year, this group of Dutch guys look for a challenging holiday and they choose to learn a new activity. Something new and fun, to push their limits a bit. This year, they chose us. 🧗‍♂️
And where could you spend a better holiday during the heat wave, if not high in the mountains? The cool canyon where we went abseiling was the perfect activity for a hot summer day. And a night spent in a mountain cabin at 1600 m altitude after a splendid hike is always the best way to cool down the body and the spirit.
What is your cool escape in this hot season? 🕶️

The benefits of outdoor activities for children are countless. Besides forgetting about the toxic screens which rule their lives, children learn how to deal with their emotions while hiking. And we agree, it's not always easy to hike when it's very hot outside or when the ascent seems that it will never end. 💪
It's nice to see this energy that grows in the middle of an outdoor group of kids. They discover ways of encouraging each other, of pushing the limits and they learn ways of enjoying themselves in situations that wouldn't happen every day.
That's what we built with a group of international students (children and teenagers) in the mountains around Brașov. And they loved it! Let the kids explore the great outdoors and they will not find time nor money for other dangerous temptations 😉.

Throwback to the Bucovina trip, only half a month ago. Bucovina, the land of flowers and green beech trees. Austrians called it Buchenland in the past, when this region was part of their empire. And they were right, the beech woods are dense and lovely.
Bucovina, where the wine tastes good and the food is divine. Where old monastic monuments are still impressive even after 5-6 centuries. Where traditions are still alive.
That's what we shared with our guests from Scotland who came to discover what the North of Romania is about. We hiked, we laughed, we explored. Always our pleasure to guide you and show the hidden gems. Ramona Cazacu The Slow Cyclist

Via Transilvanica. Romania's 1400-km enchanted El Camino. The Path that Unites. The path that brings people closer to nature, closer to their Roots. The hiking trail which connects the North to South, the past to present.

This time, we explored Terra Dacica and the 2000-year old archeological sites near Retezat National Park. Our guests, "Schwaben" from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany and "șvabi" from Banat, Romania via George Turism, were curious to discover and learn more about our ancestors and about the famous route that crosses Romania.
It was a 5-day trip in a less popular region of Romania, with no crowds, no mass-tourism. Instead, we had the mountains and the hills just for ourselves.

If you're planning to see something really beautiful and different in Romania, something else than the regular "3 castles in a day" kind of trip, we are here to help you. Private guided trips or self-guided trips, consultancy services, we are only a click away.

What if it's rainy and foggy?🤷‍♀️ Nature is impressive on any kind of weather 💚

The latest Hike for Expats and Locals took place in Piatra Mare, a mountain range close to Brasov. The rain made the landscape even more dramatic and because we are not made of sugar (though all the ladies who took part on this event are very sweet 🥰), we looked for even more water!🌊 We climbed through the Seven-Ladder Canyon, we played through the waterfalls and we laughed a lot!
During the lunch break at the chalet on top of the mountain we had an interesting visitor, Ludmila the Fox 🦊

What an amazing day we had! Thank you, ladies for all the good vibes and talks you brought on the hike and for saying YES to a mad mountain guide who wants to make you sweat on a gloomy morning 😄. The Sun eventually prevailed and all the boots were dry again in the end.
Again we had a photographer with us: a huuge thank you Oana Strunila for catching the mystic atmosphere and the cheerful moments ✨
