'Every known superstition in the world is gathered into the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool.' So says the narrator of Dracula, the late 19th century English novel of Victorian superstitions that used this area of Romania to represent something on the edge of civilisation.
A trip to this part of the world is to enter a maelstrom of natural sensation. There is everywhere a bewildering mass of flora and fauna. Profusions of trees and flowers and grasses are barely touched by agricultural exploitation. Be alert, however, for roe deer and chamois and hedgehogs and rodents, plus the sight and sound of the area's 190 bird species. Transylvania is a region full of beauty of every kind, sometimes little towns or castles on the top of steep hills.
This trek rises daily through Carpathian lower reaches, a green land full of forests and woods, with here steep hills crowned with clumps of trees, and there villages newly built in a riot of colour and style. Smile and say Boo Naa (Hello) and you'll meet open-faced strangers who say all the country people show 'hospitality, flexibility, honesty'. The message is that tourists are welcome.
Discover the pristine wonders of Romania’s Danube Delta on this unique "Danube Delta By Bike & Boat" tour, an 8-day guided bicycle journey that begins and ends in Bucharest. Ideal for experienced explorers and active seniors, the trip artfully combines cycling and relaxing boat cruises through the best-preserved delta ecosystem in Europe.
Pedal along tranquil canals, floating reed islands, and picturesque fishing villages as you witness an incredible diversity of birdlife, from cormorants to great white egrets. The itinerary includes visits to the historic sites of Bucharest, the charming port of Tulcea, and the riverine community of Sfantu Gheorge. Under the guidance of local experts, you'll also explore Roman and Greek relics at Argamum, deepening your appreciation for the region’s cultural heritage.
The highlight of this tour package is the seamless blend of nature immersion and comfort: enjoy nights aboard a floating hotel and in cozy guesthouses, experiencing Romanian hospitality at its finest. This distinctive combination of bike and boat touring offers both adventure and relaxation amid one of Europe's true ecological treasures.
Off the beaten track cycling through the unspoiled Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria. The Balkan Mountains are famous for lush green valleys, sheer cliffs and gentle rolling hills with sheep grazing peacefully in their pastures. Starting from the Chekotinski Monastery there is enormous opportunity for unique cycling. Passing through the Central Balkan National Park, the narrow roads meander through valleys, forests and quaint villages that have not changed for centuries. Wooden carts pulled by horse or donkey are the norm and farmers still make hay with a pitchfork. Along the route you will visit several of the country's most significant and historic Orthodox monasteries. Many churches with ancient icons and colourful murals are scattered throughout the region. The final cycling stage ends in Veliko Tarnovo - one of the most charming Balkan towns and the former Bulgarian capital.
