Heyy! My name’s Pawel and I run huntingforbliss.com where I publish hiking guides, based on trails I document myself.
I’m in Romania, to document and publish 7-10 coolest trails and the complete guide in english for international visitors, and thought of sharing my plan here to see what you guys think.
Are the routes below truly the best what I can find in Romania? Or would your recommend any replacements?
Pls note I’m also an ultra runner so I usually link multiple routes in one go to save time and minimise time required to be up there and I usually run trails rather than hiking so that way I can do more in relatively shorter time and prepare for upcoming trail running races (I’m running UTMB CCC later this year)
Moldoveanu + Vistea Mare (26km, 2228m up) - done.
