Dracula's Transylvanian Challenge 2012

Saturday June 30, 2012 to Saturday July 07, 2012

Some people assume that Transylvania is an invention of Bram Stoker, ripened by blood thirsty Hollywood directors.

However the "land beyond the forest", as the Latin name translates, is the most romantic and inspiring province in Romania. Its reputation as being a place of vampires and mystery is reinforced by its medieval heritage.

Our five day trek will take us up through the Bucegi Mountains to the highest elevation, Omu Peak (2507m) where you will find naturally carved rock formations such as the mysterious Romanian Sphynx and have the privilege to stop overnight in the country’s highest mountain hut. Decending then to the world famous Bran Castle, more commonly known as Dracula’s Castle.

Enjoy the final two days trekking through the Piatra Craiului National Park. The Piatra Craiului Ridge, meaning ‘Rock of the King’ being considered one of the most beautiful sights in the
Carpathian Mountains.

This challenge is physically demanding but can be achieved by someone with an average level of fitness.
