Before introducing the next blog, perhaps being a little excited of recent experiences, we enjoyed our best all-round hike, rock scramble really, as we reached the peak of what this country calls its Matterhorn. Obviously, it’s not Switzerland but take a look and you may be able to guess the country. As we struggled well-over 3,000 feet up a mountain that’s rated difficult and strenuous, reached a number of peaks, viewed sights that were breathtaking, we found it to be varied and ruggedly beautiful. It's arguable our finest experience. Barry Jahn please note: This is one hike we would wish to double-count … if you don’t mind. We’ll do a full blog at a later date. Here are a few pictures before scrolling down to another great day in Romania.
After nearly an hour of hiking, we reach the hut. The peaks ahead are lower than our intended destination, higher and further back. It was enough to make us gulp.
Reaching the peak of 9,006 feet after a near on 3,300 feet ascent.
One of the glorious sights from the peak. The lake is 900 feet below, an alpine body of water at 8,100 feet.
Jenni is on top of the world on one of several peaks along the ridge.
Malyovitsa Peak, the tiny figure on the top is the 'wimp'.
Scroll down should you wish to continue with the regular blog.
