Results for "Roumanie+itinéraire"

Bonjour, en recherchant le prix de l'essence en roumanie que celui-ci était d'environ 3, 42 RON, et comme taux de change, je trouve la devise roumaine pour le prix d'un millième de confetti d'€.Ou bien les carburants sont vraiment bon marché, ou alors la monnaie roumaine a été réevaluée à une "conversion moins kilométriques".

Merci pour vos réponses.

Je découvre aujourd'hui votre site et les messages laissés sont intéressants. J'envisage de me rendre en roumanie à vélo à la veille de l'été prochain (mai et juin : petit voyage à 70 km jour). ceci afin de retrouver des amis de sibiu. L'un d'entre vous pourrait il m'orienter vers un trajet identique déjà réalisé (rennes à sibiu) et les étapes (logement et hébergement ). Merci d'avance.

Bonjour,

Nous sommes deux jeunes filles de 20 ans qui partont en roumanie pendant 2 semaines au printemps 2006! On a un pied à terre à Bucarest, on pense y rester 4 jours environ et après on voudrait découvrir le pays en train, en bus...C'est notre premier voyage "à l'aventure" et on aimerait bien 2, 3 conseils sur la roumanie et ses habitants, le temps (peut-on camper fin avril?), les régions à voir absolument...

On voudrait également faire un reportage photo pendant notre séjour et pourquoi pas aider des assos sur place...Nous sommes ouvertes à toutes les propositions (sérieuses). Pour l'instant on a décidé de partir avec blue air car c'est la compagnie la moins chère. Voilà, si vous avez des infos à nous faire parvenir, n'hésitez surtout pas!!Merci!😉

Bonjour à tous

Bonjour bonjour,

Je vais partir un peu sur un coup de tête aller marcher dans les Carpathes, mais je ne connais pas grand chose à la région, donc je viens à la pêche au renseignements. Toute suggestion me serait utile, mais ce qui m'interesse plus précisément, si chez les grands randonneurs de ce forum il y en qui connaissent, c'est dans quel coin aller

merci beaucoup pour votre aide

Bonjour, je suis nouvelle sur le forum! Je vais partir en Roumanie cet été. J'y suis déjà allée il y a 12 ans. J'aimerai savoir si qqln y est allé recamment et si il peut me donner des conseils en ce qui concerne le voyage, l'eau, les médicaments à prévoir... merci😛

Bonjour, A la fin du mois nous empruntons la partie sud de la Transfăgărășan en voiture. Elle n'est pas encore ouverte entièrement, le tunnel pour rejoindre la partie nord n'ouvre qu'à partir du 1 juillet. D'ailleurs pas évident de trouver une source pour connaître les dates.

Nous irons donc jusqu'à Cabana Capra en voiture, croisons les doigt pour que le 26 juin toute la Transfăgărășan soit ouverte, et rejoindre Sibiu le 27 juin.

Si la route est belle et bien fermée, nous aimerions rejoindre le lac Bâlea en randonnée. Sauf que je n'arrive pas trouver précisément un sentier de randonnée avec la distance et temps.

Quelqu'un connaît il un sentier le sentier de randonnée ? Pouvons nous faire l'aller retour dans la journée, où devons nous dormir à Cabana Capra, partir tôt le matin et dormir à Lac Bâlea avant de revenir ? Le sentier est il suffisamment balisé ? Sur quelques photos de début juin, la neige a déjà bien fondu, je ne pense pas que ça soit un obstacle.

En attendant vos réponses, merci à tous.

Bonjour à tous/toutes

J'envisage de partir cet été en Roumanie avec ma petite famille en Roumanie (2 adultes + 3 enfants de 14, 9 et 3 ans). On m'a dit que Sibiu était magnifique. On cherche une maison type rural, vie champêtre, ambiance authentique, pas trop de touriste et pas trop trop cher. On a bien choisi ?

Vous avez des conseils ? Quoi faire avec des enfants ? Comment sont les roumains, accueillants ? De bons plans ?

Merci pour vos réponses

Bonjour, nous avons passé trois semaines en juin en Roumanie à bord de notre fourgon. Nous sommes allés dans les Monts Apuseni, les Monts Fagaras, les villages saxons, Bucarest, les volcans de boue, la région de Brasov, les gorges du Bicaz, les monastères de Neamt, et de Bucovine, les églises peintes, le Maramures, et d'autres encore... Partout, nous avons rencontré des gens accueillants et nous avons trouvé facilement des lieux d'étapes... Nous faisons le compte-rendu de ce voyage avec nos bivouacs et des photos sur notre blog intitulé le blog de anne et yannick lamprier. Nous serons heureux de pouvoir partager notre expérience avec tous ceux que cela intéresse et de répondre à vos questions...

Salut,

C'est un peu naze, je suis Roumaine mais je voudrais demander quand même des conseils sur des randos possibles en Roumanie.

Je pense y aller en été, pendant 7-10 jours, et je voudrais trouver un circuit sympa (tout relief, peu importe), avec beaucoup de paysages naturels et qui nous permette de ne pas utiliser la voiture, qu'on prenne peut être le train, mais pas trop la voiture... Je pense le faire avec des amis non-roumains, donc j'ai tout de suite pensé aux sites connus (carpates, bucovine), mais j'ai dû mal à savoir s'il peut y avoir des tracées de quelques jours...

Je vois qu'il y en a plein parmi vous qui connaissent de beaux endroits, quelqu'un pourrait m'en conseiller?😇

Merci beaucoup!!

Bonjour, Je pars en voyage en Roumanie en juillet 2010 et j'aimerais savoir si quelqu'un peut me conseiller une sorte de petit circuit depuis Cluj Napoca où nous serons hébergées avec mon amie. Ce circuit pourrait comprendre les bords du Danube. Merci de vos idées et suggestions. Par ailleurs je me suis procurée le guide du routard 2010. A bientôt le plaisir de vous lire.

Bonjours à tous!!!

Nous sommes 4 étudiantes de 21 ans et nous avons le projet de traverser les carpates méridionales ( les monts Godeanulul, Lotruiui et Fagaras) en aout prochain. Nous voudrions savoir si vous aviez des informations sur l'existence ou non de refuges et si le fait qu'il y ai de gros prédateurs (ours, loups, chiens) peut etre un obstacle au bon déroulement de la randonnée. Nous avons acheté la carte au 1/80000 du sud de la roumanie mais elle n'est pas très précise et nous avons beaucoup de mal à nous procurer les cartes des massifs, savez vous où est ce qu'on peut se les procurer? Et qu'en est-il des transports en commun ???

En vous remerciant d'avance pour l'aide fournie!!

bonjour à tous !

je souhaite partir 2 semaines en roumanie pour visiter, randonner et papoter avec les gens

avez-vous des bons plans et des circuits sympas ???

merci d'avance et bon vent !

Hi there, In spring 2023, I headed to Romania by motorcycle. I’ve been going there for over 20 years—by car, bike, and plane—and I’ve really fallen for this country. I feel so at home there. The big difference this time? I had all the time in the world, no constraints at all.

I left the Paris region (IDF) and headed for the Sundgau, avoiding the motorways. I know a little hotel tucked away in the countryside there. The next day, I followed the Swiss border on a small road along the Lucelle River, which acts as the frontier. Around a bend, you cross to the other side and then back into France—kind of fun.



I crossed Switzerland via the motorway—I know the route well, so no sightseeing. I arrived in Austria, which I also know pretty well, and took the Arlberg Pass. It was deserted, everything was closed, and there was still snow.



The weather wasn’t great—it was raining—so I stopped for the night at a remote inn. Perfect for drying off! I set off in the rain the next morning and kept going. Gradually, the rain stopped. I took a detour through the Trentino-Alto Adige region and the Sella Pass. Up there, it was rain, snow, and a bit of black ice in a tunnel (wind + rain + sub-zero temps = skating rink).



I arrived in Burgenland to see the famous giant glass-and-metal grape cluster, the largest in Europe. The region is hilly, full of tiny roads, and covered in vineyards.



Burgenland



Then into Slovenia.



I stopped for the night at a winegrower’s B&B perched on a ridge straddling the Croatian border. The welcome was fantastic—I spent the evening with the owners and their friends who arrived later. The white wine was amazing! The next day, I hit the road again.



I headed for Vukovar, on the Danube, a symbol of resistance during the Balkan War. I found a really comfortable B&B by the river and stayed for two nights to explore. What a strange monument!



I visited the water tower, which you can go inside—it’s riddled with bullet holes. There’s an exhibition inside. I also checked out a museum of equipment used during the Balkan War. Since it’s in a barracks, it’s guarded. I asked if I could bring my motorcycle in, and a Croatian officer came to meet me and gave me permission, along with a sticker to put on the bike. I met some fellow bikers from Marseille riding beautiful vintage bikes.



I left Vukovar following the Danube toward Serbia. The rain caught up with me. The roads were busy, with construction causing mud everywhere and crazy truck drivers. At one point, I cut through the construction zone! I stopped for coffee in a village—it had a *Deliverance* vibe. Total silence when I walked in, and the owner gave me a suspicious look. Finally, the Romanian border... and the sun came out! The Romanian customs officer asked if I had anything to declare. "Yes—just happy to be back in Romania!" I stopped for the night at a *cabana* (mountain hut) lost in the forest. Chaos ensued—a tourist! So they rushed to get supplies, quench my thirst, give me a room, and then the owner took charge: țuică (plum brandy), omelette, beers... Everyone bent over backwards to make me happy.

I love these Romanian roads!







I passed through Băile Herculane, which isn’t as beautiful as it once was—everything’s run-down. What are they waiting for to restore this *Mittel Europa*-style spa town that’s still active?

I stopped at the birthplace of Constantin Brâncuși.



Keep your eyes peeled on the roads!



Via the Jiu Valley, I arrived in Craiova to visit my in-laws. A few days of laughs and outings. I picked up my wife at the airport.

My favorite brand



We took a trip to Horezu, a village famous for its beautiful ceramics.





After those few days together, I dropped my wife off at the airport, and the next day, I set off for Dobrogea, a region split in two after the war with Bulgaria. The road was dull—flat as far as the eye could see—but the sun was out. I followed a military convoy of about fifty vehicles, with orders not to overtake. I stopped by the roadside for some homemade *ciorbă* (sour soup). That evening, I stopped in Călărași. The next day, I crossed the Danube by ferry. There are two ferries—one goes to Bulgaria, the other stays in Romania.



A priest on board came over to bless the motorcycle, the rider, and the ferry. I arrived on the other side with some traffic. Dobrogea



It’s like that all the way to the Bulgarian border—no restaurants, hotels, or gas stations, just old collective farms. And it’s the same in Bulgaria! I stopped at Adamclisi, site of a major battle in Moesia (now Dobrogea) in 101–102 BC, one of Trajan’s most important Dacian Wars.



An oasis in the agricultural steppe.



I arrived at the Bulgarian border.



A customs officer—built like a weightlifter, shaved head, thick neck, and as square as a truck—saw me take this photo and came over to ask me to delete it. I did... but I didn’t empty the trash! The weather turned stormy. I arrived in Balchik, a resort town where the last queen of Romania, Maria, used to vacation.

The Black Sea and the Bulgarian coast



The weather wasn’t great, so I headed back to Romania to follow the coastline. Constanța and its casino



Then came the seaside resorts—just as ugly as each other: Neptun, Mangalia, Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud. I stopped at a B&B near the Danube Delta, in some random village. The welcome was nice. The next day, I headed for Dunavățu de Jos, the last stretch of tarmac in Romania. After that, it’s the Danube Delta. The area is flat and sandy, with typical houses featuring reed roofs.



Now, I’m following the Ukrainian border. I passed the last active quarantine station in Europe. I came across a funeral procession—it’s customary to honk as you pass. If you’re on foot, you cross yourself. When I arrived in Galați, it was raining. I boarded the ferry in a downpour. On board, we were packed in like sardines. As soon as the ramp hit land, the drivers rushed out, revving their engines and honking. I let them go and exited calmly. I continued toward the Székely Land. These are Hungarians who, back in the day, were border guards for the king. They’ve kept their own script (it looks like runes), their flag, and their independence streak. For them, Romania is Hungarian, despite the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. There are still clashes between Romanians and Székely Hungarians now and then. Since I speak a bit of Romanian, I used it—logical, since it’s the language there—and it put everyone in a good mood! Székely flag



I passed through Bicaz Chei, arriving via one of my favorite kinds of roads. During a break, a bear came to check me out from a distance.



Bicaz Chei



I arrived at the "Heart of Jesus" monument, built by public subscription to thank God for sparing the village from severe flooding.



Now, I’m heading west—next stop, Transylvania, with the in-laws. On the road



Roma house



Bozorka—a Hungarian specialty... 450 grams of meat!

I made it back to France without any issues, already thinking about my next trip. Actually, I just got back from one!

Hi everyone,

Better late than never—I’m finally getting around to sharing our trip to Romania from last year.

Before I start, I have a personal history with this country: I lived there in 2004 for three and a half months during a student internship. I still have friends there and a decent grasp of Romanian. That helps. But more than anything, I’ve grown attached to the country. It’s well-deserved—Romania gives back just as much. That said, when I talk about it, maybe I see things differently than someone visiting for the first time.

This was my third trip to Romania. This time, I brought my wife and our two daughters. After years of wanting to take a family trip there, this was finally the right moment. My wife wasn’t exactly thrilled at first—she’d been hesitant for years. But she ended up loving it, and we’ll definitely go back together. For our 6- and 8-year-old girls, the trip was fascinating in so many ways: the sights, learning about communism and totalitarian regimes, the Roma community, how different religions coexist, the Saxon minorities...

We landed in Bucharest last July. We spent two and a half weeks in the country. We took off from Toulouse early in the morning and arrived at Bucharest airport around noon. We flew with Lufthansa because it’s a solid airline and the cheapest option we found.

We rented a car. I don’t remember the rental agency’s name, but we got scammed a bit. We’d booked insurance through Booking, but when we arrived, we couldn’t print a credit card receipt. The issue? We only had debit cards, not credit cards (or vice versa), and without one, we couldn’t pick up the car without buying their on-site insurance. It was buried in the fine print—I’d read it but naively assumed a gold card would work. So, we had to take extra insurance. Basically, we threw 120 € in insurance fees out the window. Still, we got a Dacia Logan, and it ran like a dream the whole trip.

Here’s our rough itinerary: - Bucharest Airport => Sinaia => Brasov - Brasov => Viscri => Sighișoara => Sovata - Sovata => Bicaz Gorge => Iași - Iași => Bucharest

**Sinaia** We started in Sinaia, in the Carpathians. It’s an old Romanian vacation spot from the country’s golden age. A really nice place with great hikes. The mountains are stunning, covered in tall fir trees. There are beautiful buildings and old houses—it’s all very charming. We took the cable car up to the summit (no time to hike with the kids). It’s an old 1960s cable car with two sections (there are also detachable chairlifts). The view from the top is amazing. Then, Peles Castle—a must-see.

**On the road to Brasov** We stayed in a homestay in the village of Purcareni (15 minutes from Brasov by car) through an association called "L’Arbre de Joie." We spent a few days there. The association was founded by a French woman in the 90s and runs local projects. The family we stayed with was Hungarian. The price was around 90 € per day, including breakfast and dinner. The host spoke a little French, and her 16-year-old daughter spoke English fluently. We had great conversations. This family lives like a typical French family—they work at a clinic and a factory, own a car, and have a small chalet in the nearby mountains. From Purcareni, we explored: - **Bran Castle**: The iconic castle. There are way more tourist stalls now than when I first visited in 2004, but it’s still charming and worth seeing. - **Zărnești Bear Reserve**: Interesting—you learn a lot about bears. But it’s expensive, and it’s sad to see these beautiful animals in captivity. - **Râșnov Citadel**: Right near Zărnești. We did Bran, the bears, and this citadel all in one day last year. It’s pretty—you hike up a trail to get there. The view is gorgeous, but the site feels a bit neglected (or not fully restored yet). Some people love it, others don’t, but at least it’s authentic and not some Disneyland with fry stands everywhere. - **Brasov**: Of course! We went twice. It’s beautiful and nothing like what you’d imagine Romania to look like. We hiked up the hill overlooking the city—about 45 to 60 minutes with the kids. The view from the top is incredible, especially over the medieval rooftops. I wasn’t expecting much—I thought we’d see rundown buildings, but the "new" part of town is built farther to the right, so you barely notice it. - One day, we took a horse-drawn carriage (a touristy thing to do for the kids) to our hosts’ second home. It was still really fun. The area is super wild—just a few kilometers from the village, so close to Brasov. We ate *amazingly* with them. Traditional Romanian food is best enjoyed in people’s homes, not restaurants. So, I’d recommend eating at small guesthouses or homestays as much as possible.

**On the road to Viscri** No stops—just straight to Viscri. I found Viscri just as I’d left it in 2004. Maybe a few more tourists, maybe one or two new restaurants. The road still isn’t paved in the village. Viscri is my favorite place in Romania—a simple village with colorful houses. We found a reasonably priced Airbnb and had a great evening with our hosts. They were fascinating people, and we talked about Romania, Saxon minorities, Europe... The next morning, I went for a run and found a trail in the nearby forest. I followed it for a while before turning back. We also visited the fortified church.

**Sighișoara** I’d been there in 2004 and wasn’t particularly moved or impressed. I felt the same way in 2019. But that’s just our take.

**Sovata** In Sovata, we traveled the way I love—arriving around 5 PM with nothing booked and finding a place to stay by asking around. We ended up in homestays for two nights, and both were great. It’s a Hungarian-Romanian thermal spa town. The place is nice but nothing extraordinary, except when you get closer (but not too close) to the thermal complexes. There, you’ll find beautiful mansions and hotels from the early 19th century. It’s touristy, but only Romanians go there. We visited a warm-water lake—it was fun for the folklore, though the water wasn’t exactly inviting. Apparently, there’s another lake higher up that’s so salty you float in it, but we didn’t go. In the afternoon, we took the tourist steam train ("mocăniță" in Romanian). It was a blast—we chatted with people in the carriage. The train covers about 20 kilometers, then turns around (the locomotive detaches, spins, and reattaches). Everyone gets off at the halfway point, where people grill corn on the cob. Then the train heads back. The scenery isn’t breathtaking, but the fields were full of flowers, and the ride was lovely.

**Toward Bicaz Gorge** The next day, we headed to Bicaz Gorge and the Ceahlău Massif in Neamț (pronounced "Nyamts"). We passed through Corund, a village known for local crafts. Whether it’s actually made there or not is always up for debate in a society where cutting corners is common. Still, we found some nice plates, dishes, and souvenirs to bring home. Funny story: I was chatting with a young saleswoman in Romanian and was shocked to realize she didn’t understand me—not because my Romanian was bad, but because she *didn’t speak Romanian at all*. She only spoke Hungarian. Mind-blowing: you’re Romanian and don’t speak Romanian? We crossed a mountain (or big hill) before reaching the Gheorgheni plain—a small town nestled in the mountains, feeling like the end of the world. Was it the season? We saw *so many* storks, and they were *so close*. It was adorable.

**Bicaz Gorge** We stopped at "Lacul Roșu" (Red Lake) to take a boat ride with the kids. (Yeah, we did things we don’t usually do—gotta keep everyone engaged! And maybe that’s why they have such great memories of the trip.) Then, the Bicaz Gorge—one of my favorite spots in Romania. We stayed at Pensiunea Paleu in Bicazu Ardelean, a place I already knew. I think the price for four people, half-board (with delicious home-cooked meals), was around 90 € per day. The rooms are clean and simple, and there’s a big garden with a vegetable patch, a cow, and a pig. Most of the food served comes straight from the garden.

In the afternoon, after much hesitation, we headed to Ceahlău National Park. About 30 minutes by car, we entered the park (after waking up the park ranger, who reeked of booze and was napping). We drove to the end of the road, and then—against all odds—the four of us made it to the summit of Toaca Peak. This peak towers over the surrounding mountains. It was a great hike—starting in the Carpathian fir forests, then crossing a plateau covered in flowers (mid-July). We stopped for a drink at Cabana Dochia before heading up. The summit is a bit unusual because they’ve installed a big metal staircase. It’s steep in places—straight up, and I wouldn’t want to fall. There’s a sturdy railing, though. Even if the "normal route" doesn’t seem too hard. The view from the top is stunning—you can see the entire Carpathian region, vast forests, and the Bicaz Lake below.

**Iași** I used to live in Iași. We stayed with my former internship supervisor and his family. It’s not the first time we’ve crashed at people’s places. In Iași, we visited: - **The Opera House**: A beautiful building from the early 20th century, if I’m not mistaken. Our friends arranged a tour with the firefighters, who let us in and showed us around. It was fun. - **The "Hall of Lost Steps"**: You enter a massive room with stunning woodwork. It’s a huge university library, home to around a million books. The whole place is meticulously decorated. Visiting this room makes you wonder how Romania could have such a grand image. This country, in its golden age, had universities and thinkers. When you build something like this for knowledge and science, you’ve come a long way. - **The Palace of Culture**: This building was completely run-down in 2004 but has since been fully renovated. Where it was once gray, dull, and dirty, it now shines in the sunlight. It’s magnificent.

Beyond these three sights, we explored parks, wandered the city, went treetop climbing, and spent time with friends. Sure, Iași is way over in the east on a map of Romania, but it’s worth the detour.

After Iași, we headed back.

**In conclusion**, we spent three weeks in Romania. Here’s a rough breakdown of expenses (in €, all taxes included): - Flight tickets: 660 € - Car rental for 2.5 weeks: 250 € - Everything else (accommodation, food, activities, etc.): around 1,500 €

All in all, the trip wasn’t exactly cheap—around 2,500 to 2,800 € total. But we had a blast, and that’s what matters.

I had tons of great photos and wanted to share some, but I couldn’t upload them. If anyone’s interested, I can send them along.

Bonjour à tous, Je souhaite partir avec quelques copains du 1er au 9 mai faire ce trajet en moto. Si google me donne un plus court trajet de 700km *2 = 1.400km, nous souhaiterions rouler en tout 1.800-2.200km. Ne connaissant absolument pas la région je suis preneur de toutes les infos intéressantes, les lieux à visiter, les sites à découvrir ou les bon plans à ne pas manquer. Merci à tous et meilleurs voeux. Eric

Bonjour à tous,

J'envisage un séjour itinérant d'un mois environ en Europe de l'Est en octobre, voir novembre, et j'aurais souhaité savoir si le climat était encore ok à cette période, que ce soit dans les régions un peu plus montagneuses ou en bord de mer en Bulgarie dans les environs de Nessebar.

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses

Bonjour à tous! J'espère que vous allez tous bien! 🙂

Je pars dans 3 semaines, seule, en Bulgarie, Roumanie et Moldavie pendant 3 semaines.

Je suis canadienne, donc je n'ai pas de forfait cellulaire en Europe.

Je me demandais si je prenais un forfait à la carte en arrivant en Bulgarie il ferait en Roumanie et Moldavie ou si je devrai acheter une nouvelle carte dans chaque pays ? J'ai surtout besoin de gig internet, moins d'appel et de textos.

Merci de m'aider!
