Start your Via Transilvanica trek by walking through old farmlands, wildflower meadows, and wide-open spaces with views of the rugged Piatra Craiului Mountains. Your trip begins with an easy transfer from Brașov to Poiana Mărului, a quiet Romanian village known for its wooden cottages, local crafts, and relaxed country life. From here, you’ll walk along country roads, through forests, and beside small streams while your guide shares stories about Transylvanian folklore and traditions.
