For a day out in the glorious nature of Transylvania, it’s hard to beat Piatra Craiului National Park. On a visit to this stunning protected outdoor area in the southern Carpathian Mountains you’ll have plenty to see. Hiking is probably the most straightforward activity you can do during your day trip, but it is also possible to go horseback riding and rock climbing in certain areas. The national park boasts all sorts of landscapes, from forests and canyons to high mountain ridges and glacial lakes. One of the easiest hiking trails takes you through a canyon blanketed in forest, while longer hikes will take you higher and you can even visit some of the traditional villages found around the park.
