Description
The landscape and the journey
Janneke Klop introduces the Carpathians’ wooded valleys, pastures, villages and high ridges. Explore from one base or combine mountain regions, with time for both walking and the communities and landscapes between them.
Routes and itinerary options
The 37 routes comprise 25 day walks of around 11–24 kilometres and twelve multi-day treks of 13–99 kilometres. Coverage includes Maramureș, the Eastern Carpathians, Brașov, Făgăraș, Retezat and Apuseni, with Piatra Craiului and Moldoveanu among the objectives.
Maps and practical planning
1:100,000 maps and Cicerone GPX files accompany accommodation, huts and planning advice. Information covers season, weather, wildlife and mountain travel, including areas with fewer services. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Length, terrain and remoteness vary greatly. Assess fitness, independence and distance from huts, with careful preparation and attention to weather and local conditions. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
