Romanian Winter Hike - Diham
What about some winter adventure?
#europetrip
Romanian mountainous regions are each winter covered in snow, offering a wide variety of leisure activities. If you don't practice skiing or snowboarding, but you would still like some engaging sports activities, hiking is the perfect choice.
There is a wide variety of paths that you can choose from, depending on your physical level, but always keep in mind the 🐻 bears threat. Please always be cautious, travel in big groups, have the right equipment and be allert.
A great choice for winter is a hike to Grecului Peak starting from Azuga and finishing the trail in Bușteni. The level difference is about 600m, and it requires a medium fitness level. It is recommended winter gear (microspikes, gaiters, and waterproof shoes).
If you are not an experienced hiker, then my recommendation will be to choose an organized trip. There are many organized trips led by authorised mountain guides starting from Bucharest or other major cities that offer the transport as well. Usually, the trips occur during the weekend, and they are marketed for all levels of fitness.
Enjoy!
