This has to be my best trip with Exodus for the beauty and unspoiled nature. It was awesome.
Carpathian Mountains
Carpathian Mountains Trips
The Carpathian Mountains curve 930mi (1,500km) through Europe, including Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and more. Dense forests are largely untouched, while spectacular canyons and fairytale Saxon villages create the ideal setting for a walking adventure. For centuries, the local people have existed in harmony with nature, including Europe’s highest concentration of wolves, lynx and brown bears – making Carpathian Mountains holidays perfect for wildlife lovers as well as hikers. Come winter, the slopes are snow blanketed – head to Transylvania to hike or snowshoe through the wild scenery and learn about the traditional local lifestyle and folklore.

Malcolm Vant Carpathian Walking & BearsThis trip had beautiful walks in the Carpathian mountains. Seeing the bears while in the hide was a highlight though. The visit to the bear sanctuary for rescued bears was also very moving. The hikes did require a high degree of fitness. Note that when we booked this trip was a level 2, but the same trip has been reclassified as a level 3, which in our experience is merited. The last day is the most challenging but the last part to the very peak is optional and was only done by a small part of our group. Our guide Sebi was excellent and paced the walk for the group’s abilities. He was also very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and customs.
