Carpathian Calm: Two Days of Easy Canyon Hikes, Castles and Brașov Streets.
Set against the drape of the Southern Carpathians, this compact itinerary distills Transylvania into two clear pleasures: mountain air and history. Over 48 hours you move from royal woodlands at Peles Castle down through the dramatic passageways of Seven Ladders Canyon, then into the medieval streets of Brașov for a paced walking tour and a visit to the fortified church at Prejmer — all accompanied by a licensed English‑speaking guide.
