Walking Holidays in Romania - Romania - Transylvanian Castles

Romania - Trek

The hotels are mostly small family run hotels. The largest is in Brasov  with 40 rooms and the smallest with 4 rooms.  All rooms have private bathroom, mostly with showers. You will be assured of dinner with Romanian specialities and country breakfasts. Romanian hospitality will also be to the fore as the owners in most cases will welcome you personally.

We have personally stayed in or visited all of our accommodations. They have all been selected for their great locations, friendly atmosphere and traditional hospitality, as well as the warm welcome they offer to walkers. Below is a summary of our usual accommodations*.

On this trek, the accommodations are mostly small and family-run, all rooms have a private bathroom.
