\u00a0<\/strong>At the end of October me and my boyfriend decided to spend one week of this beautiful autumn time in charming and very often underestimated European country ROMANIA. This one week trip was actually a birthday gift to me (my boyfriend knows exactly what I like) and I would love to share our 7 day itinerary with you hoping to help you out planning your vacation in the country of Dracula and ineffable mountains.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Day n. 1 \u2013 Bucegi mountains (Malaiesti cottage)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After a night spent at the place of our couchsurfing host Dan in Bucharest, we took morning train to small town called Busteni from where we started 5 hour hike through national park of Bucegi mountains. Weather was unpredictable<\/strong>. We started in t-shirts and ended up in winter jackets. From sun through fog and rain to snow. After few hours of challenging yet beautiful forest hike we ended at the mountain cottage Malaiesti where a night cost 10 euro per person<\/strong>. In one room it was only me, my boyfriend and Dan and his girlfriend. No extra blankets neither sleeping bags were necessary as rooms were fully equipped as well as the kitchen was<\/strong>. Food at the cottage was nice and inexpensive.<\/p>\n

Day n. 2 \u2013 Bucegi mountains (Omu peak)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After early breakfast we headed from the cottage to the highest Omu peak which could be translated as \u201chuman\u201d from Romanian language. It took us around three hours, terrain was steep, breath-taking rocky hills all around us.<\/strong> The higher we ascended, the colder it got with less visibility, too. Once we reached cottage at Omu peak with the altitude of 2505m, visibility was zero<\/strong>. Foggy, freezing weather and closed cottage was something we didn\u00b4t expect. After meeting few locals with some hot chocolate (which helped a lot) we managed to get back on track, followed the yellow trail and made it to Babele cottage (in translation \u201cold lady\u201d) from where we descended back to Busteni by cable car for around 15 euro<\/strong>.<\/p>
