Green Mountain Holidays

Green Mountain Holidays offers active holidays and eco tourism in Transylvania and Romania. Our main activities are: individual hiking-, cycling- and horse riding holidays in which the tourists choose with whom and when they want to have their holiday. This means tourists get from us upon arrival an information package, maps, eventual demonstration and from than on they are on their own. Tourists walk, ride, cycle from guesthouse to guesthouse and their luggage is by us transported.

Accommodation is only provided in family run guesthouse or small hotels, pensions. All these trips take place in Transylvania and a lot of them in a lovely mountain region: the West Carpathians or Apuseni Mountains. For most of the trips we have put the accent on nature, but there are trips that emphasize culture as well. The people in Transylvania are eager to welcome foreigners and most of the products offered in the guesthouses are home-grown. As the region is considered under-developped, nature remained mostly intact and farming is still done as it was decades ago, often pure man and horse power.

Customs and rituals are very important for the local villagers and are still part of daily life. Although the country enters the European Union, life in the mountains will remain unchanged for many years to come. Romania has the highest density of large carnivours in Europe and brown bear and wolves still defend their territory. As farming is done with man and horse power millions of authentic plants and flowers color the hilly and mountainous landscapes. A tourist region where tourism is still in it's childhood but certainly worth visiting!
