016 Romania's Via Transylvanica: Exotic, yet affordable and convenient
Listen now
Description
The Via Transylvanica is exotic, yet affordable and convenient.  The trail crosses Transylvania and the Carpathian mountains on it’s 1400 km/ 900 mile route across the heart of Romania.  Conceived and built over just the past six years, this trail offers a complete package of both outdoor and cultural adventure.  Old european castles, wild forests and mountains, daily cultural adventures, farmers that still use horse-drawn carts, vineyards with little-known wines for you to discover, and the option for warm meals and a roof over your head every night, but also extensive signposting, a well-developed support network of guidebook, smartphone app, and social media.  I am inspired and excited by this brand new trail, and I am confident that many of you will be, also. #viatransylvanica #Tasuleasasocial#trailsaroundtheworld #skyking #thruhike #hiking #hikingeurope #thruhiking #hikingromania
