We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England.
Our ways are not your ways and there shall be to you many strange things
Bram Stoker, Dracula

Although almost everyone has heard of Transylvania, very few visit it and thankfully it remains a destination for the discerning traveller. Here in a land of high, soaring peaks, wild swathes of forest, ancient for tresses, forbidding castles and timeless villages, the myths and legends, fantasies and facts of legendary Transylvania become entwined. This is the land of the wolf, the bear and the lynx, a land steeped in tradition, history and ancient rituals. A land inviting you to explore deeper amongst some of Europe's most spectacular and last remaining wilderness areas.

Each day your professional, English speaking Transylvanian mountain guide will take you on truly amazing walks, that can be tailored to your abilities and desires to different mountain ranges and help you discover the local culture and history through their expert knowledge. Your guide is also an essential way to meeting the local people who may be just as curious about you as you are of them. Your accommodation hosts, our good friends Gigi and Elena provide Transylvanian hospitality and home cooking at its very best.

Arrive as strangers and leave as friends bitten by the wonder of Transylvania as we ourselves did many full moons ago!
