Horse riding in Romania | Transylvania adventure holiday
 Anywhere in the Carpathians area one can enjoy winter sports or summer holidays in beautiful mountain resorts, or can benefit from the therapeutic effects of thermal waters. There is a modern infrastructure of hotels, villas, Alpine chalets, camping, ski-lift and accessible roads. All for your holidays.
Skiing is one of the tourists' favourite activities, as there are modern tracks, generously lit up in the night. Some of the best known tracks in Romania are the ones on Prahova Valley and the surroundings (Sinaia, Azuga, Predeal, Poiana Brasov), those on Valea Jiului and those from  Semenic Massif. Glacial circles situated at a height of 1900-2000 m in Fagaras, Rodna, Retezat and Semenic massifs, allow tourists to practise winter sports until the end of the spring.
The mountaineering and alpine climbing are perfect sports for these mountains. The most important alpine climbing centre of Romania is in Busteni (in Bucegi Massif).
Fortunately, the pollutant civilisation did not affected the Carpathians Mountains yet. The ancient woods, the refreshing air rich in oxygen, the mountain paths linking attractive alpine chalets are obviously strong motivations for the nature loving tourists. And still, there are other attracting elements in the Carpathians such as natural parks that shelter rare animals - the lynx, the bear, the Carpathian stag, the European bison, the black goat etc.
Hunting is another sport that can be practised in the Carpathians. Amateur hunters take great pride in the trophies obtained "fighting" with the wild boars, bears, hares or the pheasant and wild ducks species.
Roads intended for mountain cycling, glacial lakes, caves hiding a wonderful world, the strange forms of peaks and rocks, cascades and mineral water springs are further reasons to come and visit the Carpathians. The famous mountain resorts of Romania - Sinaia, Predeal and Poiana Brasov, Tusnad, Vatra Dornei and Sovata, Baile Herculane and Calimanesti-Caciulata, Paltinis and Borsa -are all departure points for charming expeditions in the mysterious world of the Carpathians.
