Experience the true beauty of the Ciucaș Mountains, a truly unique massif. It is situated in the Carpathian’s Bend, southeast of Brașov. It’s natural beauty will most likely leave you speechless. The tour we invite you to be a part of is a circuit tour, meaning we won’t visit the same places twice. The Ciucaș Mountains are relatively humble in size, but very gifted. Nature has indeed been extremely generous with this massif.

Discover the hidden beauty and variety of the Ciucaș Mountains

Firstly, the Ciucaș Mountains are very well known for their large collection of oddly shaped calcareous rocks. Natural occurrences such as “The Kissing Stones” are definitely a must see. If you decide to visit mid-May, you’ll discover the magical flowers of the mountains: the mountain rhododendrons. Their bright pink is impressive and they are a species protected by law. So we are allowed to look and take pictures, but not to pick them. The peak is no higher than 1945 m. This means that the massif is just under the tree line or a little above it. This place offers anything a passionate hiker might want: lush valleys, rivers and a marvelous icing on the peak which forms a beautiful karst scenery. There are many rock formations that have ignited people’s imagination, thus receiving various names. One of them is called “Old Women Talking”, another one is called “The Devil’s Hand”. However, there are numerous unnamed ones which are definitely an enchantment for the beholders.

Amongst the rich forests and amazing landscapes, the local food will also impress you. We may take the lunch at one of the local cabins at an extra price, or even visit the sheepfolds and taste the cheese specialties. It’s really up to you as the Ciucas Mountains Hiking Tour is flexible and can be adjusted according to your unique needs.
