4. Hike in the Carpathians
Stretching through Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Hungary and Poland, the beautiful Carpathian Mountains are a paradise for hikers and skiers alike. The mountains are also home to the largest populations of wolves, bears and even lynxes as well as almost a third of all plant species found on the continent. The Romanian Carpathians are also home to the second-highest peak in the range, reaching over 8,300 feet.
