Additional Information
Transylvania - the name alone conjures up images of craggy mountains, gothic
castles, horse drawn carts and forests filled with hibernating bears. The
reality is not that far off. Crisp winters add an extra dimension to this
small corner of Europe as snow blankets the pastures, farmsteads and
woodlands. Spend a week exploring this region, hiking or snowshoeing to small
villages, into gorges, through valleys and up mountains and wandering through
castles and a bear sanctuary along the way.
From our comfortable guesthouse in the small village of Magura, we head out
to uncover the region’s treasures on foot. Snow conditions will dictate
whether we hike or snowshoe but, either way, we get into the wilderness.
Along the way we meet locals who still live a traditional lifestyle, learn
about the region’s rich folklore and history, admire stunning mountain
scenery and, with a bit of luck, see traces of the local wildlife including
wolf or bear paw prints in the snow.
