Bucegi  Mountains

Reviewed By AnthonyJ376 - Antwerp, Belgium

If you go to Romania, you cannot miss out on a hiking trip in the Bucegi Mountains. We did a one day hike, and I wished we could do some more and stayed more time in that region. The blue cross hike up from Busteni to the Babele is breathtaking, adventurous and awesome! Don't miss out.

Reviewed By ionutc867 - Busteni, Romania

Excelent view. Easy road over the top of the mountains if you go by cable car from Busteni. Totally worth it.

Manastirea Caraiman

Reviewed By 354anfisal - Bucharest, Romania

Very close to the city, accessible by stairs on the road to the cable-car. You can find there animals (birds, rabbits, ponies) and visit the 2 churches located on the grounds. The place is quiet, beautiful, clean and a good place for meditation. Would reccomend to visit anytime.

Cascada Urlatoarea

Reviewed By ramutza - Bucharest, Romania

Been here many times, in summer, and this easy, short trail gets really busy&noisy especially in weekends. It only takes 1 h max, both ways and everybody can do it. Recently went in February on a snowy day and it was magical: winter wonderland all around you, quiet, only a bunch of people on the trail, it felt like we were the only ones in the forest most of the time. It was perfect. And the trail was actually easier in winter, especially on the way back. Although it's an easy trail, it's better to wear appropriate mountain shoes as it has some climbing.

This was the old royal train station for when the royal family came to Sinaia. It has a nice architecture and a bit of nicd history. Also, the Orient Express stops in Sinaia!!
