River, fresh air and Mountains!
The Olt waters push the kayaks toward the valley, accompanied by flocks of herons, cormorants, coots, or even an entire colony of beavers. On the water’s glare, disturbed from place to place by butterflies, carp and perch gather, offering a glimpse of the underwater paradise full of sheat-cat-fish, Prussian carp, barbel, and, from time to time, a wandering trout at crossing waves.
The Olt trails are long and gentle, an adventure in the heart of a calm universe that opens the gate for a delightful journey within the soul. You slow down from time to time, rocked by the Olt, away from the dizzying speed of the world, to lose yourself in a corner of nature pulsating in an absolute state of equilibrium. The mountain slopes or hills are enclosed by a charming green setting, guarded from the shore by forests or glades, over which history has generously sprinkled its stories. Old walls and scattered little churches greet you from the shore. And up high, a patch of sky, like a blue cover, resting on the sharp ridges of eternal walls, watches.
Kayaking on the Olt River in the Făgăraș Land is another unique way to connect with nature. A wide variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and other aquatic creatures, can be found in the river. This makes it an excellent location for birdwatching and fishing. Whether you are an experienced birdwatcher or a beginner, you will see a variety of birds along the way, including herons, kingfishers, and even an eagle. Fishermen can cast their lines and try to catch some of the river’s abundant fish.
The calm.
Enjoy the nature!
From the water top!
Another popular activity on the Olt River is visiting tourist attractions, and kayaking is an excellent way to see the stunning landscapes of Transylvania from a new perspective. You will be able to witness breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, hills, and forests. You will also encounter small villages, historic buildings, and other points of interest that are not easily accessible on foot while paddling along the river.
The gentle rocking of the waves is one of the most enjoyable aspects of kayaking on the Olt River. The smooth movement of the boat and the sound of the water hitting the kayak create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. This tranquil and serene setting is ideal for meditation, yoga, and other forms of mindfulness practice. It is also a great location for solo kayaking, as the quiet and solitude of the river provide an ideal escape from the chaos of everyday life.
