All about the trip
Fagaras is the biggest, highest and probably most sought mountain massif in Romania in the summer months, while in winter it becomes a challenge. The range is called the Transylvanian Alps for a good reason. This tour takes you on Transfagarasn road up to one of the hidden gems of Fagaras mountains – the canyon called Valea lui Stan (Stan’s Valley). One just can´t get enough of the beauty of this narrow canyon with huge walls and many waterfalls. Its climb is secured with metal cables and ladders which makes it all the more interesting.
Additionally, this tour will take us through Transfagarasan, or “the most beautiful road in the world”, as it was called on Top Gear TV series. The most spectacular and highest dam in Romania can also be found here, built on the river Arges. Curtea de Arges is a beautiful mountain town which used to be a capital city for the early medieval kingdom predecessor to modern Romania. We will also visit the beautiful Orthodox monastery where the German kings of Romania are buried.
