OFFROAD-TRAVEL · EUROPE
Carpathian Camping 4x4, this is how your adventure begins in Romania's untouched nature. This Romania off-road camping trip takes you with the off-road vehicle through streams, forests, and the peaks of the Cindrel Mountains and the Western Carpathians.
The Journey
Your off-road journey in Romania begins in the gentle hills of the Carpathians and takes you deep into untouched forests and the peaks of the Cindrel Mountains and the Western Carpathians. On this camping tour, clearly 4x4 off-road fun, landscape, and nature are the focus.
You camp for four nights under the starry sky, share meals by the campfire, and get to know Romania with its hospitable inhabitants. One night you'll spend in a cozy guesthouse. In the evening, you relax after the strenuous stage by a warming campfire and listen to the bubbling of the stream.
Your journey begins in a small, quaint guesthouse near Sibiel, not far from Sibiu. After check-in, you will be greeted warmly and enjoy a communal dinner featuring traditional Romanian cuisine: freshly baked bread, Sarmale, creamy Polenta with Brânză, and a glass of homemade Țuică. In a sociable atmosphere, you will get to know the group.
The first day of the tour starts relaxed around 10 o'clock. First, you visit a traditional Romanian weekly market and stock up on the last supplies. Then you leave the paved roads and follow lonely paths along a small, rushing stream to the first foothills of the Cindrel Mountains.
Today you will spend the whole day in the Cindrel Mountains, far away from civilization. On lonely paths and remote trails, you encounter shepherds with their flocks of sheep. Numerous panoramic views over forests and mountains invite you to pause and take photos.
