Hi Folks,
Anyone ever toured Translyvania? Im going to Romania in September. Flying in and out of Cluj-Napoca and planning a loop taking some Carpathian climbs in along the way over the course of a week. Its a solo trek so any advice/ do's and dont's would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Plan carefully your route. The roads can be pretty busy with heavy trucks and is not that nice.
Avoid the E (expres) roads wherever you can.
Try to do the big climbs ( guessing that you want to do Transfăgărășan 7C and Transalpina 67C) during the week when there is not so much traffic.

I think that it would be wise to research the wildlife that you may encounter such as brown bears and wolves.

Thanks for this.
Yeah bears and wolves I know about but just been learning about wild dogs too!!
Freak 110 are you from the area? Is Brasov worth the journey?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
