Favorite thing: The main aim of this trip is to complete the traverse of the longest section of the Transylvanian Alps, the Fagaras, whose 80km. of ridge rarely drops below 2000m. (6700ft.) and includes Romania's highest summit Moldoveanu (2544m, or 8480ft.). This is one of the longest, continuous, high level walks in Europe. The trip is suitable for the strong mountain walker who is also interested in seeing a fascinating country close-up; walking through flower strewn meadows and farm land, along craggy mountain tops and through indigenous forests. During the trek we have a fascinating glimpse of rural life in an almost medieval corner of Europe.

My favourite route in Romania has to be the Transfagarasan road. This is the country's highest road and it runs from the E68 to Curtea de Arges. The road was built in the 70's by dictator Ceaucescu...
