Nurture in Nature

Carpathian Escapes was created to allow the world to discover a most beautiful part of Europe, a hidden secret, the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania.  Carpathian Escapes is a fully bonded travel agency that was funded with an EU grant obtained by local enthusiasts who have joined together to provide various trips for those seeking an active holiday with breathtaking sights whilst surrounded by the peace and tranquility rarely found today. Guided by the volunteers from the mountain rescue team the Escapes daily programs offer snow mobile trails, hiking routes and ski touring to challenge all levels. These Escapes take you back in time to where the local people still live as they have for the past fifty years. Accommodation has been selected to allow you to experience the life there, in essence an Escape from the modern day world and stresses of the western lifestyle.

From Uz Bence chalet we follow the local road to the house of the forester, from where we approach the ski slopes to the right. We cross the top of the Csipike Slope, following the road to the Miklós Slope that we cross. Following the imaginary line marking the margins of the Orottas crater, we look toward North and see the saddle that will be the turning point to the left. Following the ridge we reach the rocky formation named Kossuth's Rock (the maximum altitude of the trail) located near the ski slope with a similar name. From this point we descend to the cauldron in which we see a savannah, then following the high voltage network we descend on the very visible path, oriented towards S-SE, this path will cause us to cross some muddy areas, after which we will intersect the road forest Piricske, where several holiday homes are visible. Following the stream of the brook, after a few crossings of the meadow, sprinkled by volcanic bombs, we find to the left DN 13 A at about 4.5 km from Miercurea Ciuc (end of the mark). After approx. 0.7 km downhill along the paved road, we reach the intersection with a country road (left), called Ciba street, served by local bus races. The trail is in the Harghita mountains.
