Trek Transylvania 2012
IRGH has joined forces once again with The Hospice of St Francis and The Peace Hospice to bring you another exciting challenge for 2012.
This trek takes place in Romania's famed Transylvanian Alps , an area rich in tradition and myths. You will make contact with locals; sleep in small mountain villages, taste traditional food, and at the same time trek in two of the highest mountain ranges of Romania . You will also spend 3 days volunteering at a new hospice being built in Bucharest .
You will visit the 14th century Romanian icon, Dracula's Castle, the Bucegi Mountains, famed for their rock formations, as well Piatra Craiului, 'The King's Rock' National Park, which is now home to the Carpathian Large Carnivore Project (protecting wolves, lynx and bears).
A challenging yet very rewarding expedition, the Trek through the Transylvania Alps is also a trip back in time, to an area where tradition still guides people's lives and where nature is wild.
