- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2024
- We attempt our TOUGHEST CHALLENGE to date as we hike the second-highest peak in Romania’s Ceahlău National Park - Vârful Toaca which sits at 1,904 meters high!
With 1,100 meters of elevation to climb over a distance of 9km each way, and a 500-step vertical staircase to reach the summit, this was one of the hardest hikes we’ve ever done. Stay tuned to see how we get on and to see the epic landscapes that this area of Romania has to offer.

As always, THANK YOU so much for the love and support on our videos 💛 we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it - the views from the top totally made the hike up 100% worth it! ⛰🙌
Congrat. guys! Romania is a beautifull country, with very warm and friendly people, a fantastic nature and u need to explore more of it! You are very welcome here!
Thanks! We love Romania and will return again soon!
Thumbs up if you've been enchanted by the beauty of Bran Castle!
:)) that "Are there bears" and the "No" answer was so convincing :))
Haha I know right 😆
Insane views 😍 thanks for sharing 😊
The views from the top were so insane and totally worth the hike up 🙌
Thanks for showing us the beauty of Romanian forests! Just subscribed and excited to see more of Romania!
Thanks for the nice message and sub guys! We really appreciate it 🙌🏼
Cracking effort guys! you've completely changer our perception on Romania and now we're dying to visit ourselves!
Thanks guys! Romania suprised us in many ways and we'd totally recommend travelling there. We'll be back again for sure.
@@CoconutsandCamelsi hope you were positively surprised :)
Glad to see you're enjoying your hike to Ceahlau. 😉
Thanks! It was a lot of fun!
Absolutely smashed it guys !! Well done
Thanks dude 💛
Those forests are actually unesco heritage sites and the national park is full of bears, idk what the lady was about… bears live in every mountainous part of Romania in every single national park.
We honestly think she was saying no so that we would not be too scared. You’re 100% right, after the hike we checked and although small, there’s a population of bears around this park!
Maybe she misunderstood bear for beer😂
Great video! We can’t wait to do this ! We love hiking so much and we are currently hiking the german alps
oh amazing! The German alps are beautiful 😍 And I'm sure you'll love this hike too - it's one we'd 100% recommend 😁
OMG that was the most amazing hike! I don’t know how you climbed those stairs at the end! Proud of you! x
Thanks Jackie! It was tough but well worth it 🙌🏼
Smashing it guys!
Thanks mate 🙏🏼 hope you’re enjoying Aus!
Thats a proper hike yall :) Here's a little trick for the mountains , when you go uphill , especially steep ones ,its nice to have a steady branch or two (one in each hand) to use like an old man's cane to support the weight of the body using your arms too (kinda like ski in the summer) and you will find em on the side of the road in Romanian forrests.Thanks for visiting , hope you guys had a nice time !
Hey, thats a great tip! We actually picked up a few when we headed back down and actually on a few recent hikes we've done!
That looked so challenging especially the stairs 😅 so proud of you guys for completing the challenge and cannot wait until your next episode 😊
The stairs really did wipe us out! Thanks guys, our next episode features our favourite peoples 😉
@@CoconutsandCamels

wow wow wow, that looked like one heck of a hike. Amazing effort guys, them views at the top looked so worth it though!😍 We’d love to give this hike ago when we get over that way for sure, but make sure to bring lots of snacks & pack better than we usually do for any hike😅😂
They definitely were worth it! 100% recommend snacks for this one 😂
Hello. New subscriber here. Came across your youtube channel. We also travel

Heyy! Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy our newest video as we attempt to drive to the Arctic Circle!
Great job.Its not a easy hike...at 20 minutes from the stairs was the monestery and Dochia cabin where you could enjoy a good meal and a even more espectacular view th-cam.com/video/3Ndruy96tmo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! We did actually see the monestery from a far but didn't get round to filming that bit as we were shattered :)
Please say Ceahlau a few more times, I've never heard it pronounced like that
😅 yes we must admit we don't think we pronounced it all right - had no internet on the trail to check so we just gave it our best attempt
😅😅😅
