A 2-days hiking tour in Sibiu area, in Fagaras Mountains, just for birding, with a professional birder guide. The guide knows the places very well, he knows where and when to find different species of birds.
The guide will pick you up from Sibiu, in the morning (we’ll set the hour together) and transport you to the departure point into the mountains. The first hiking session is about 4 hours, till the chalet. The route is mostly through the forest so you can expect all forest birds.
