This has to be my best trip with Exodus for the beauty and unspoiled nature. It was awesome.
Carpathian Mountains Tours
Carpathian Mountains Transylvania Trips
Trips to the upspoilt Carpathian Mountains are a fresh take on wildlife and conservation holidays. They form the eastern wing of the great Central Mountain System of Europe, curving 1500km along the borders of Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Austria, Serbia and northern Hungary. History and geography conspired to make Transylvania in central Romania one of Europe’s most beautifully wild and fascinating regions.
For centuries the locals have existed in harmony with a variety of wildlife, including Europe’s highest concentration of wolves, lynx and bears – almost half the European population of brown bears is recorded in the Carpathian Mountains. Meanwhile, dense forests have remained largely untouched. There are spectacular canyons, virgin forests and fairytale Saxon villages to explore too, making Carpathian Mountains tours perfect for hikers as well as wildlife lovers.

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.
