One of the best times of the year to see nature is October. That is when the colors of the trees change, the light for photography is great, and the days are a bit cooler which makes trekking better. We took the opportunity to go to Iezer Papusa Mountains, with Cezar and Marisa from Germany. […]

This ,,spring'' tour with Tomer from Israel, turned into a real winter experience. It was Tomer's second tour with Outdoor activities in Romania , after last year's trip in Pestera…

If you come from a country that is far...far...far away, you will want to spend at least a few days here. Plus, kids like to ,,feel'' the place, explore and discover, so a longer holiday is the ideal thing to do. Then, a family will want to do different things and see the best of everything. Or, the best of as much as possible. Because Romania is the ideal playground for…

Once you visit Romania, you will fall in love with it, for sure, for many important reasons: kind people, the scenic landscapes in the countryside, the silence in the mountains, the stillness of the glacial lakes, the beautiful sea coast, the amazing Danube Delta, the enticing smell of fresh cheese pies baked for you by […]
