4 Hiking Tours in Brașov Worth Booking

1.Piatra Craiului National Park Private Hiking Tour from Brasov

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $126Our pick

You’ll hike 6 to 9 miles through gorges, forests, and mountain pastures with a private English-speaking guide. Routes suit different abilities and weather, with possible stops at a sheep farm, Bran Castle, or local villages. Expect a demanding day, good mountain views, and lunch at your own expense.

“This was a really interesting day. As it turned out we were the only ones and not well enough to do the full hiking tour. Marian was flexible and took us on a half day tour, including the gorge and a hill village. He is very knowledgeable and committed to ecotourism and supporting local business. One minor criticism is that the notes did not make it clear that we should bring lunch as there may not be the opportunity to buy any.”
