Self-Guided Hikes

Do you want to explore the best of Romania’s mountains but don’t have the time to put a fabulous trip together? I know Romania is not exactly the easiest country to navigate, and putting a trip together can be quite the challenge. So I’ve done it for you! My self-guided hiking packages will save you weeks (possibly months) of planning, so that you can jump straight into your adventure! All you need to do is put on your hiking boots, choose your travel dates and book your tickets.

What you will get

⛰️ A roadbook (pdf) with a super detailed itinerary, and everything you need to know for a smooth trip: gpx route files • maps • info about accommodation & transfers to the trailhead • water sources & supplies • bad weather alternatives • health & safety info • language • budget • photos & more
⛰️ Support over the phone & WhatsApp before as well as during your trip: schedule a 30-min phone call before your trip to ask any questions you may have. Call or message me during your trip if you need help (finding a bad weather alternative or booking a taxi for instance)
⛰️ I can also take care of reservations for you. This is an extra service (+€)

Available Trips

I currently have one ready-made self-guided hiking package on offer, and it’s a five-day hut-to-hut trek in the breathtaking Fagaras Mountains! More packages are to follow; I’m working on a trip in the foothills of the Cindrel Mountains.

Custom-made self-guided trek

Additional Services

I can book accommodations for you for € 15 per reservation. Booking private transfers/public transport is likewise € 15 per single trip. If you need these additional services or other customizations, please contact me here.

About me

I’m Janneke aka the Roamaniac. I fell in love with Romania back in 2005 and have been exploring the country ever since. I have hiked thousands of kilometres in Romania’s mountains, mostly solo, and written a guidebook about them: The Mountains of Romania (Cicerone Press, 2020). I live there part of the year, speak the language, know what works and what doesn’t, and have a lot of local contacts. With 20+ years of Romania experience under my belt, you can rest assured that you will get a seamless Romania experience! I can’t wait to introduce you to Romania!

What others say

“Together with a number of friends, we embarked on a breathtaking journey through the Fagaras Mountains under the warm guidance of Janneke. It was a unique combination of facing the adventure on our own, but with the help of an expert in the background. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and I would like to sincerely thank Janneke for her fantastic guidance. I highly recommend everyone to explore Romania at least once. What a beautiful country. ” — Jan Hein van der Hoeven
