CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS
Romania's diverse natural landscapes offer numerous choices for exciting outdoor experiences.
Travelers can walk through serene alpine meadows covered with scores of wildflowers,
trek around glacial lakes, take in the lush-green scenery while horse riding or mountain biking,
climb curious rock formations, photograph fossil traces of 15,000-year old cave-bear species,
track gold eagles or other rare birds, study endangered flora, wander in the countryside, picnic in the fields,
try your hand at traditional crafts, - or just relax in the home of a village family and sample wholesome,
country fare with home made wine and plum brandy.
