Transylvania Trail Camp
Välkomna att hänga med på vår 12:e trailcamp i de magiska Transylvanienbergen. En natur och kultur som legat dold för de flesta i över 100 år. Det blir en kultur och äventyrs- och löparresa som visar dig några av Europas vackraste berg, Bucegi. Under tre dagar utforskar vi ett lite mer svårtillgängligt massiv som anses som de mest pittoreska bergen i omrädet.
Vi har ett eget backup team som stöttar genomförande och även egen grundläggande sjukvård om olyckan skulle vara framme. Alla guider pratar engelska och vi siktar även på att ha en svensk guide i varje löpargrupp. Resan är för alla som kan förflytta sig 4-8 timmar per dag i vackra berg.
Vi delar in alla i tre olika grupper och man kan byta grupp under resans gång om så behövs. Farten anpassas efter gruppen och är baserad i första hand på upplevelser och gemenskap. Vill ni springa hårdare så skall ni veta att de Rumänska guiderna är landets topp tre bergslöpare, så det finns även möjlighet att “sträcka full ut” så är önskvärt.
Dagarna blir långa och äventyrliga och på kvällarna provar vi den Transylvanska maten som är ungersk/tysk inspirerad. Över in Silva brun delar vi dagens upplevelser och lyssnar på rövarhistorier från världens alla berg så länge någon orkar lyssna.

P.S. Ett vanligt talesätt i Rumänien är “This is Romania” – det är lite grekiskt tänk . DVS planer är bra, men var beredd på allt… 😉
