Full day hike in Retezat Mountains

A one-day hike departing from Cluj Napoca to Retezat National Park, one of the most beautiful and wild mountain ranges in Europe. Retezat is known for its over 80 glacial lakes of a special blue, for its alpine peaks and ridges over 2500 meters high and for the flora and fauna biodiversity encountered at every step. Last but not least, as we are in Țara Hațegului, and old well preserved etnographic region, we can visit on the road back some very old stone churches, which have a very interesting history and are strongly connected with the Romanian genesis.

We will leave Cluj in the morning, after breakfast and we will have a 2.5 h drive to Retezat. We will choose the hike which suits the groups level of fitness. We can choose from easy hikes (3-4 hours with elevation up to 600 meters, moderate with 6-7 hours and up to 1000 meters elevation or difficult with 8-10 hours with more than 1000 meters elevation. Transportation: We will leave from Cluj-Napoca, and return to the city by private car or minibus (depending on the size of the group) Flexibility: The tour is flexible and can be altered on the spot, depending on the group request, weather condition, and your physical training.
