Hiking in Romania is one of the ten activity holidays in Europe recommended by The Guardian in a recent travel article.

Romania’s Carpati mountains are seen as an alternative to the Alps, a more off-beat challenge. The author of the article recommends hiking in the Fagaras mountains and the amazing view of glacial lakes and steep valleys.

Walks Worldwide created several special Romania walking tours of the mountains, with prices ranging from GBP 655 to GBP 1,695. More details here.

Hiking in Romania shares the list with surf and yoga in Portugal, horse riding in Italy, canoeing in Sweden, cycling in France, mountain biking in Austria, swimming with the dolphins in the Azores, kitesurfing in Spain, and watching the northern lights in Finland.
