About

Carpathian Escapes was created to allow the world to discover a most beautiful part of Europe, a hidden secret, the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania. 
Carpathian Escapes is a fully bonded travel agency that was funded with an EU grant obtained by local enthusiasts who have joined together to provide various trips for those seeking an active holiday with breathtaking sights whilst surrounded by the peace and tranquility rarely found today. Guided by the volunteers from the mountain rescue team the Escapes daily programs offer snow mobile trails, hiking routes and ski touring to challenge all levels. These Escapes take you back in time to where the local people still live as they have for the past fifty years. Accommodation has been selected to allow you to experience the life there, in essence an Escape from the modern day world and stresses of the western lifestyle.

Incurajam echitatia responsabila in manej si in natura, cu scopul de a crea o legatura de prietenie intre calaret si cal.  Călăria reprezintă o experienţă unică din multe puncte de vedere: afectiv şi relaţional, psihologic, social şi fizic. Abilitatea de a controla un cal asemenea propriului corp induce încredere în sine, responsabilitate şi spirit de echipă.  Printre beneficiile fizice aduse prin echitatie se enumera: îmbunătăţirea echilibrului, fortificarea musculaturii, îmbunătăţirea coordonării, reflexe mai rapide şi îmbunătăţirea planificării motrice, întinderea muschilor încordaţi sau spastici, îmbunătăţirea respiraţiei şi a circulaţiei, îmbunătăţirea apetitului şi digestiei. In prezent detinem aproximativ 16 cai, toti educati in manej si adaptati plimbarilor calare in natura. Rasele din cadrul centrului de echitatie sunt urmatoarele: pur-sange arab, shagya arab, frizian, lipitan, cal de sport romanesc, semigreu romanesc, cei din urma fiind considerati ideali activitatii cu incepatori. Initierea calaretilor se face in manejul exterior, acesta fiind construit din materiale de inalta calitate pentru ca lectiile sa se desfasoare in conditii de confort si siguranta.

Magenta 7 is a unique tour operator in Romania that brings to your life the uniqueness of rural experiences, blended with balance, nature and authenticity. We are guides with over 10 years of experience in the field. Our paths have met on various occasions so far but this time we decided to start a joint project called Magenta7. Why did we choose this name? Mountain   Active life   Gastronomy   Equilibrium  Nature   Tradition  Adventure Because magenta is invisible on the normal light spectrum and yet the human mind perceives it. Basically, catching the 2 ends of the spectrum, violet and red, we perceive magenta as the color between these two. It is a color of change. And the journey is a change in itself! It is the desire for change, self-discovery and inspiration. These surface when you step beyond the comfort zone of your home. We believe that tourism can be practiced in a truly sustainable way, supporting the local economy, offering experiences beyond the 5 senses already known. Hence the number 7 in the name which comes from the 7 senses, beyond the basic 5. Something to be perceived and felt by the one who becomes part of the Magenta7 experience. We bring you the uniqueness of Transylvania in packages specially designed on your need for knowledge and discovery. You have a choice of 1-day trips or longer, escorted tours where you will take a step back in time. Imagine a day or more adventure through the lesser known Transylvanian countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in an area of authentic countryside, where you find inspiration guided by the most knowledgeable locals. Discover the REAL side of Transylvania, experience with local guides! • Authentic artisan experience (do it yourself activities) • Time Travel - Corund/Korond • Corund/Korond promenade • Visits spiced with demonstrations of handicrafts • Horse-Drawn Sleigh & Fire-Roasted Picnic in Fantana Brazilor

4–5-Hour Horse-Drawn Carriage Tour and Traditional Feast in Valea lui Pavel Tradition – Flavours – Experiences Discover the authentic beauty of Transylvania in Valea lui Pavel, also known as Pálpataka, a mountain village near Corund, situated at an altitude of almost 1,000 metres! Valea lui Pavel is a distinctive rural settlement of scattered farmsteads, where local families still make their living mainly from livestock farming, agriculture and traditional small-scale farming. During the tour, we travel through pine forests, hay meadows and pastures, passing mountain streams and traditional homesteads. Along the way, guests may see horses, cattle, sheep and other grazing animals while enjoying the fresh mountain air and the peaceful natural surroundings. Our family-run business has nearly 30 years of experience in equestrian tourism. Our tours are organised with gentle, calm and well-trained horses bred and raised by us, together with comfortable and safe horse-drawn carriages. Upon arrival, our guests are welcomed with a traditional drink. The pálinka is served in a special small cup decorated with traditional Corund motifs and fitted with a cord so it can be worn around the neck. At the end of the tour, every guest may take the cup home as a gift. One of the most popular parts of the experience is the traditional open-air gastronomic picnic. Lunch is freshly prepared on site and includes grilled pork neck, mici—traditional Romanian grilled meat rolls—homemade bacon, onions and homemade sourdough potato bread. While lunch is being prepared, depending on the season and weather conditions, guests may have the opportunity to pick wild blueberries or raspberries or enjoy seasonal mushroom foraging. The programme also includes a short tasting of homemade cheese. Live music can also be arranged upon request, adding an even more cheerful and memorable atmosphere to the meal and the entire excursion. After lunch and some time to relax in nature, we return to our horse farm in Valea lui Pavel by a different route. This allows guests to enjoy new landscapes, traditional homesteads and beautiful panoramic views on the way back. The programme is suitable for guests of all ages. It is an ideal choice for families, couples, groups of friends, organised tour groups, corporate team-building events, school trips, family gatherings and private celebrations. The complete programme usually lasts between four and five hours. With prior arrangement, both the route and duration can be adapted, allowing us to organise a shorter or a longer tour according to the group’s needs. Participation fee - Adults: 250 lei per person - Discounted rates are available for children. - Children under four years of age may participate free of charge.
