Hiking Trips Romania – what to expect before you hit the road

Hiking Trips Romania – Mountain trails are some of the most beautiful ways to spend your time outdoors. But to enjoy all that nature has to offer, there are some rules to keep in mind when it comes to how you prepare for the hike or how you should behave on the trail, even if you are an experienced or beginner.

If you choose one of the Hiking Trips Romania that we can offer, there are several criteria for classifying mountain trails: duration, the season in which they can be walked without problems, the degree of difficulty and the equipment needed for the hike. To get an idea of what is an easy or difficult trail and to know exactly what to expect before setting off, here are some tips:

The equipment you need

Depending on the difficulty of the chosen route, you will need regular, special (mountain boots, trekking poles, special jackets) or complex (crampons, ice axes, pulleys, harnesses) sports equipment. You can also take various gadgets with you, such as a smartwatch, for example, which can help you monitor your heart rate, stress levels and always know which direction to take.

Duration and season

Flat terrain or slopes line, 4 km/h; uphill on already done trail, 350 m/h, uphill on rocky trail, 250 m/h, downhill on smooth trail, 450 m/h, downhill on less beaten path, 400 m/h. Bare in mind that not all routes can be done the same in all seasons. For each one you need to find out what time of the year you can enjoy the hike without difficulties. There are Hiking Trips Romania that are closed in winter because they become particularly dangerous.

Degree of difficulty

Easy (3-6 hours), 300-700 m level difference, low effort; medium (4-8 hours), 500-1,000 m level difference, you can walk it with some effort, but without having to train seriously beforehand; difficult (5-9 hours), 800-1,500 m level difference, physical effort is very high and you have to prepare very well beforehand.
