Făgăraș Mountains trek - Horizon Guides

Distance: Approx. 70 km
Duration: Five to seven days
Difficulty: Strenuous

The trek along Romania’s Făgăraș Mountains is a more remote and challenging proposition: to complete the full high-level ridge hike of around 100km, you’ll probably need to camp, though there are some huts and simple refuges at lower levels.
