    [description] => 
A benevolent combination of circumstances makes Romania a cauldron of butterfly diversity: hot summers, a wide range of habitats from simmering plains to mountain-tops and, perhaps above all, the widespread use of low-intensity agricultural practices. It’s a perfect storm that, at times, results in blizzards of brightly-coloured sprites tumbling over unspoilt flowery meadows. Not surprisingly, Romania’s list of 210 butterflies, rising all the time with new discoveries, is one of the highest in Europe. Our tour begins in the rolling steppes of Dobrogea, a butterfly haven. On one day we take a lepidopterist’s day off to explore the awesome Danube Delta. We then cross the country to the Carpathians, visiting the forests and meadows of Piatra Craiului and Bucegi National Parks, where we also have the chance to see Brown Bears from a specially constructed hide deep in the forest.

Tell me about Romania …


Romania is at the crossroads of central and south-eastern Europe. Since the 1989 revolution Romania has undergone major political and economic reforms. It became a member of the EU in 2007. Situated on the western shore of the Black Sea, with the Ukraine on its northern borders, Romania has a wide variety of habitats, including the Danube basin’s extensive wetlands, the Carpathian Mountains, evergreen forests of the north-west and rolling plains of the east.




The Danube Delta is the second largest and best preserved delta in Europe. The Carpathian Mountains dominate the centre of the country, and Romania has one of the largest areas of undisturbed forest in Europe.

                    [content] => 
Romania is now well established as one of Europe’s top birdwatching destinations and ‘birders’ flock there annually to enjoy the abundant avifauna of the beautiful Danube Delta and rugged Carpathian Mountains. Less well known, however, are Romania’s other natural treasures, in particular its butterflies. This fascinating country, sitting on Europe's eastern border, is home to over 210 species of butterfly, nearly four times the number we have here in the UK. Traditional low-intensity farming, coupled with Romania’s hot dry summers and varied habitats – ranging from soaring mountain peaks to flat treeless steppe – combine to create the ideal conditions for butterflies to flourish. This new tour focuses on these colourful sprites and during our week here we hope to see around half of the country’s species, from the diminutive Eastern Short-tailed Blue to the impressive Freyer’s Purple Emperor.


Following a flight to Bucharest, this holiday begins with a four night stay in the town of Tulcea, situated at the very edge of the beautiful Danube Delta and the rolling, woodland-dotted, steppe of Dobrogea. This is probably the richest area in Romania for butterflies and, as we explore the Macin Mountains, Babadag Plateau and other key sites, we will be on the lookout for Lesser Fiery Copper, Niobe Fritillary, Lattice Brown and Great Banded Grayling amongst many others. The birdlife here is also superb and amongst the species we most hope to see will be Eastern Imperial Eagle, Levant Sparrowhawk and Isabelline Wheatear. No wildlife tour of the region would be complete, however, without a day on the water exploring the stunning Danube Delta; so we will end our time in this region amongst the willow-lined channels and vast reedbeds of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. We will then move on for a four night stay in the Carpathian Mountains, the dramatic arc of pine-clad hills and high peaks that sweeps through the centre of the country. Here we will explore the Piatra Craiului and Bucegi National Parks in search of butterflies, amongst them Weaver's and Nickerl's Fritillaries, Fanton's Wood White and Hungarian Glider. There will also be the opportunity to watch for European Brown Bears and to look for a variety of birds and other wildlife before we make our way back to Bucharest to catch our flight home.

Grade A - Mostly easy walks of a couple of hours or so taken a leisurely pace. There will be a couple of longer walks in the Carpathian Mountains, however, where the paths are uneven in places and undulate. This holidays is suitable, therefore, for anyone who is able to cover several miles on foot, with longer walks of up to 5 miles (8km) and happy to be on the go for most of the day.

                                    [introduction] => Tulcea sits at the western edge of the Danube Delta, at the point where the mighty river suddenly splits and fans out to create the maze of waterways, lagoons, reedbeds and islands of this internationally important biosphere reserve. Situated within walking distance of the town centre, the small and welcoming Ibis Guesthouse is an excellent option for those exploring the Delta. Meals are prepared on site and are both hearty and delicious. Rooms are clean and comfortable and offer air conditioning. There is also an attractive, plant-filled, seating area from which to discuss the days’ wildlife highlights, and the owners are very friendly.

                                    [introduction] => Situated in the Piatra Craiului National Park between Bucegi and Piatra Mountains, the Mosorel Guesthouse commands the most breathtaking setting with far-reaching views. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, it is often possible to spot agile Chamois on the nearby rock faces, and even the occasional Brown Bear ambling across the slopes. A network of hiking trails criss-cross the surrounding area, and the friendly owners will be more than happy to provide advice on the best routes, as well as sharing their knowledge of the local wildlife. Rooms are situated within the main building, as well as in a number of separate cabins, and are clean, spacious and comfortable, all with en suite facilities. Delicious home cooked meals are of a traditional Romanian style and are all freshly prepared with locally-sourced ingredients.

                                    [introduction] => Situated within an extensive tract of pristine forest above Pecineagu Lake, with breathtaking views of Făgăraș and Lezer-Păpușa Mountains, the Bunea Wilderness Cabin offers an unforgettable opportunity to leave civilisation behind and experience the wild Carpathians. The cabin was constructed by ‘Foundation Conservation Carpathia’, and is part of the largest private conservation project in Europe. The surrounding forests are home to Wolves and Eurasian Lynx, as well as European Brown Bear, and can be explored on foot with an expert guide via a network of trails to suit every ability, or viewed from the comfort of the hide. Evening meals are prepared with local, organic ingredients and are enjoyed by candlelight with a selection of excellent Romanian wines. The accommodation itself is rustic, but very comfortable nevertheless and comprises three cosy bedrooms (one double and two with bunk beds) a fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom with solar shower, rustic fireplace for cooler evenings and, most importantly, large windows overlooking the mountains and an excellent collection of field guides! There is also a telescope for guests to enjoy the spectacular, unpolluted night skies. There is no electricity at Bunea, but this only adds to its appeal! A visit to Bunea Wilderness Cabin is a truly special experience.

                                    [introduction] => The Comisu hide offers another superb, off-the-beaten-track option for those keen to leave the hustle and bustle of modern life well and truly behind. Perched in a beautiful meadow above the tree line, the views across the Făgăraș Mountains are simply incredible. The hide itself is simple and rustic in nature and so time here requires a sense of adventure. Sleeping arrangements are basic, comprising bunkbeds set around a cosy log burner with warm sleeping bags provided … since the hide sits at 1,700 metres both are very welcome in the chilly evenings. The toilet is located just outside the hide, and there is no shower or electricity. However, this is absolutely the draw of Comisu; its rustic nature offers exciting wildlife viewing opportunities far from civilisation, and a couple of nights spent here will never be forgotten.

Summary

Romania is now well established as one of Europe’s top birdwatching destinations and ‘birders’ flock there annually to enjoy the abundant avifauna of the beautiful Danube Delta and rugged Carpathian Mountains. Less well known, however, are Romania’s other natural treasures, in particular its butterflies. This fascinating country, sitting on Europe's eastern border, is home to over 210 species of butterfly, nearly four times the number we have here in the UK. Traditional low-intensity farming, coupled with Romania’s hot dry summers and varied habitats – ranging from soaring mountain peaks to flat treeless steppe – combine to create the ideal conditions for butterflies to flourish. This new tour focuses on these colourful sprites and during our week here we hope to see around half of the country’s species, from the diminutive Eastern Short-tailed Blue to the impressive Freyer’s Purple Emperor.

Following a flight to Bucharest, this holiday begins with a four night stay in the town of Tulcea, situated at the very edge of the beautiful Danube Delta and the rolling, woodland-dotted, steppe of Dobrogea. This is probably the richest area in Romania for butterflies and, as we explore the Macin Mountains, Babadag Plateau and other key sites, we will be on the lookout for Lesser Fiery Copper, Niobe Fritillary, Lattice Brown and Great Banded Grayling amongst many others. The birdlife here is also superb and amongst the species we most hope to see will be Eastern Imperial Eagle, Levant Sparrowhawk and Isabelline Wheatear. No wildlife tour of the region would be complete, however, without a day on the water exploring the stunning Danube Delta; so we will end our time in this region amongst the willow-lined channels and vast reedbeds of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. We will then move on for a four night stay in the Carpathian Mountains, the dramatic arc of pine-clad hills and high peaks that sweeps through the centre of the country. Here we will explore the Piatra Craiului and Bucegi National Parks in search of butterflies, amongst them Weaver's and Nickerl's Fritillaries, Fanton's Wood White and Hungarian Glider. There will also be the opportunity to watch for European Brown Bears and to look for a variety of birds and other wildlife before we make our way back to Bucharest to catch our flight home.
