Did you know?
It is said that the name "Fagaras" is coming from the word "fagar", an old word which represents a large old beech forest.
In ancient times, the bottom part of the Fagaras Mounatins were covered with Oak forest. Now remains "Dumbrava Vadului", where, among the oak trees, we have daffodils (Narcissus stellaris), locally known as coprine.
In Fagaras Mountains there is "Mioarelor" galcial lake (2282 m), the highest glacial lake in the Carpathian mountains.
In Fagaras Mountains there are 8 of the 14 peaks of the Carpathian mountains that reach the altitude of 2500 m: Moldoveanu (2544 m), Negoiu (2535 m), Coltul Vistei Mari (2527 m), Lespezi (2522 m), Cornu Caltunului (2510 m), Vanatoarea lui Buteanu (2507 m), Hartopu (2506 m) and Dara (2500 m). Here there are over 42 peaks with altitude between 2400 and 2500 m.

Our six-day adventure through the mountains was a perfect blend of breathtaking scenery and intimate moments. Each hike revealed stunning views that made the effort worthwhile, and we loved how private the experience felt, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the landscape. Meals were a highlight; we enjoyed local flavors, often packed for picnics that hit the spot after a long day of hiking. One area for improvement would be to have a bit more variety in the packed lunches, as we found ourselves craving something different toward the end. Overall, it was a fantastic journey that brought us closer not only to the mountains but to each other as well.

The breathtaking landscapes of the Făgăraș Mountains stole my heart during this six-day journey from Brașov. Each day unfolded with challenging hikes that were rewarding not just for the views but also for the delicious local meals I savored at cozy mountain lodges. While I appreciated the personal touch of a private tour, a bit more variety in the evening activities would have been nice to fully unwind after the day’s adventures.

The private hiking experience in the Fagaras Mountains exceeded my expectations, offering stunning vistas and challenging trails that truly tested my limits. Each day was spent immersed in nature, with cozy overnight accommodations that made returning to rest a highlight after long hikes. My only suggestion would be to add more variety to the packed lunches, but overall, it was a memorable solo adventure from Brașov that I would highly recommend.

Exploring the Fagaras Mountains over six days was an incredible way for us to connect with nature and each other, with breathtaking views around every corner. Our overnight stays in cozy lodges added a special touch, though we wished for a bit more guidance on local dining options during our evenings.
