The Romanian Carpathians hold a rich and diversified natural touristic potential , given the differences in altitude, the geological structure, the complex scenery connected with the relief, vegetation waters ,etc. All these are harmoniously blended within themselves but also differnt in the territory, creating thus the originality and attractiveness of the scenary that we mentioned above. Therefore, in the context of the European mountains, the Alpine landscapes in the Meridional Carpathians and Rodna Mountains are rival to those of the Alps and Tatra, whereas the most humanized ones in the Apuseni Mountains, Bargaia and the Bucovina Mountains look very much like those in Switzerland and Austria. Climbing Romania's premier mountaineering centre is Busteni , near Brasov, where there is good climbing in Bucegi Massif . Trains let you take them aboard, but buses are more of a problem, due to lack of space.
Most towns have at least one cycle repair shop.
Obviously you would not try high mountains on bikes, but you could explore villages on the Transylvania plateau, the Bucovina or the Maramures. Black Sea Coast Blessed with an unpolluted sea, golden sands and warm weather from spring to autumn, Romania's Black Sea coast would long ago have rivalled the Mediterranean for popularity, if political conditions had been different. Now, with the country heading towards a new, strong, future the Black Sea is destined to become a major European holiday destination. The two areas could hardly be more different. Furthermore, the Black Sea is free of strong tides, so swimming is unusually safe.
