    Testimonials

    Es war purer Zufall: wir schlenderten die Haupteinkaufsstraße in Brasov entlang, sahen das Angebot fur eine hiking tour, buchten die Tour und es sollte ein perfekter Tag werden! So viele Eindrücke, so eine abwechslungsreich Tour: erst zu einem Chalet, dann der Weg auf den Gipfel, was für eine herrliche Aussicht von der Spitze! Auf dem Gipfelgrat entlang, dann wieder zum Abstieg, auf dem Ruckweg durch eine wundervolle Schlucht! Danke Marian fur diesen fantastischer Tag, wir hatten keinen besseren Tour-Guide bekommen konnen!
