Went on a private day hike with our guide Eni. She was great to chat to and took us on a lovely route up through the forest and meadows to a chalet for lunch and then back through a gorge.
Beautiful Hike!!

Eni was a great hiking guide. She took us on an amazing challenging hike, which is what we wanted. Such a beautiful day! My suggestion, start the hike a few hours earlier so we can avoid the crowds.
Excellent Hike!

Good hiking shoes or boots are a must. Some parts are steep, but it’s totally doable. Views are excellent-I took so many pictures. There’s a chalet/hut at the top to rest. You can buy food or coffee, or there are places to rest and eat food you brought.
Varied, right amount of effort, great views

It is a very varied hike, for which you need a good condom and then be rewarded with great views of the landscape of the Carpathians and a very good view.
Great hike! Perfect level of challenge.

This was a great hike for us. A group of 3 in our 40’s & 50’s. Average health and regular exercise made this perfect for us. The terrain goes from pine forest roots, to meadow to rocky throughout. Hiking shoes are a must and bring water, there are refill stations along the way. Gabriel was our guide and he was fabulous at giving us options and checking with us along the way.
