Brassói-havasok

We've gathered under the umbrella of the Braşov Mountains several massifs near Brașov, all well known and popular with those looking for outdoor activities near Brașov or not too far from Bucharest. One of the massifs is Postăvaru, with Tâmpa Mountain and the beloved resorts near Brașov - Poiana Brașov or Râșnov; then come Piatra Mare massif, the Ciucaș, Ghrohotiș, Neamțu or Baiului Mountains. The highest peak in the region is Neamț Peak (1923m), which, paradoxically, is also the least known.

    Wir waren ohne Auto und ohne spezielle Wanderausrüstung in Brasov und sind den Teil von Poiana Brasov (Anfahrt mit Buslinie 20) über Poiana lui Stechil zum Startpunkt und dann weiter über den Tampa und den Serpentinenweg zurück in die Stadt gelaufen. Sehr schöne Wanderung, denk des hohen Waldes auch an sonnigen Tagen. In dieser Richtung (also entgegen der beschriebenen Wanderung) folgt dies zunächst der Markierung "blaues Dreieck", später dem weiß/blau/weiß-Streifen.

    I would rate this route as hard, because the dirt road is rather rocky. This means that you don't have such a good grip and it's not so comfortable to ride it for some 50 km. Other than that it's a lovely scenery for the most part. You may come across some sheep here and there, but the dogs guarding them are well behaved and don't bother you. There are a couple of springs from where you can replenish your water supply. Most of the time there is no shade, so be prepared accordingly. For our group of 3 it was exactly 6h of bike time, but 8h30m overall (including breaks). We ran it in reverse, because we preferred to have a longer, steady, mild climb instread of an abrupt climb and a long descent.

    Moderate Forrest and mountain route starting with a challenging ascent up Tampa then along the crest of the mountain to Poiana Brasov. Then it’s back to Brasov via the more popular - but equally beautiful - mountain route passing Solomon’s Stones (Pietrele Lui Solomon).

    Steep, hard ascent, beautiful view of Brasov and steep descent with tons of slippery, pointy rocks. Use walking poles to reduce frustration and cursing.
