@@cravetheplanet When people set up RU-vid chanels there should be a mandatory 30 minute instruction video on cinematography and sound editing. This video is unwatchable. It's also really annoying that people want to make money from RU-vid but are unwilling to put any effort in learning the craft. There is a reason some chanels can get 100000 subscribers in a year, while others never break 1000, in years.

You are awesome, don't bother with negative and toxic people on in the internet and even in real life. I really enjoyed it. I want to see amazing places, I don't care about every technical detail of making videos, I am an ignorant, too, like most of us. We aren't all Steven Spielberg and even him did some bad movies. @@cravetheplanet

As a romanian I'm happy to hear what you say about Via Trasilvanica.

@naiman4535 8 месяцев назад

WOW - I have spent a lot of time living in Romania as an American who speaks the language, and I have never heard of the Via Transylvanica! I will definitely ask my Romanian friend Sam, who knows the Carpathians like the back of his hand, about it. One thing your otherwise great video lacks is a map of the route - so I paused your video and googled up a map of its route. And definitely, it is a long and ambitious journey, which goes from Bucovina, around Suceava, in the northeast corner of Romania, to Banat in the southwest of Romania, near the hot springs resort of Baile Herculane (The Baths of Hercules) established by the Romans way back in antiquity. Romania is a country about the size of Oregon, and at a similar geographical latitude as that American state, by the way. From the maps I was able to google up, it seems like the Via Transylvanica does not actually go along the crest of the Carpathian Mountains, which would take it up to around 2.500 meters or around 8000 feet in elevation, but rather, that it winds and meanders through the hills and valleys of Transylvania north of the Carpathians - hence the trail's name. I even saw a video in Romanian about the Via Transylavanica - every interesting!

@cravetheplanet 8 месяцев назад

Wow yes it’s meant for easy hikes that anyone can do and they avoided the hard mountains. Though I certainly want to try that also! I need to make better videos for sure this was just iPhone goofing off

@naiman4535 8 месяцев назад

@@cravetheplanet Don't deprecate yourself too much, Crave - it was still a great video! Perhaps your next video about the "Trans-Camino" can go into more geographical detail about the route.

@naiman4535 8 месяцев назад

My former neighbor in Gura-Ocnitei, a small town outside of Targoviste that is nestled in the foothills of the Carpathian mountains, was my main teacher about Romanian history. One of the things that he told me is this: The forest is a brother to all Romanians.

By the way - after finishing the hike of the Via Transylavanica around the hot springs resort of Baile Herculane, whose healing waters attract medical tourists from all over Europe, you would definitely be ready for a long, hot soak in the healing waters yourself! But if you're hiking the trail in the other direction, you're out of luck!

@naiman4535 8 месяцев назад

Another footnote here is that in Romania, Balneotherapy, or therapeutic bathing in the waters of hot springs, is a recognized subspecialty of medicine, and medical students go to school specifically to train in it. There are many different balneotherapy resorts scattered all throughout Romania, large and small, world famous and not so well known, that employ a lot of different and innovative therapies to restore health. For example, there are old salt mines that are way deep down within the earth where people with respiratory ailments and conditions go to to breathe air with salt ions in it in a high pressure, hyper-baric environment - this liquefies and loosens up tough phlegm accumulations in the lungs so they can be coughed up and expelled. Different minerals in the water are medically recognized as having different therapeutic properties.

Oh my- it’s 1400 km so you could spend two months but most like to do a section. We loved the bucovina part because my friends are from toplita. It was easy to get to and we finished at the tasculesa headquarters as they have dormitories there and we learned about the trail and volunteers. It’s really cool- we were half Romania and half American on our hike

Also be prepared to fend off sheep dogs from the sheep farms dotting the hills because the workers let them run free and they get territorial and aggressive when they're in a pack.

@dhanyrafael 5 месяцев назад

Yes, Via Transilvanica is dangerous because of sheep dogs roaming free and the brown bears (Romania has the largest population of bears in all Europe, except Russia of course if we consider them in Europe anymore). So it's a must to travel it at least with another person. @@cravetheplanet
