Mysterious Serbian Carpathians (Indian Summer Edition)

Roma­nia is a coun­try that many off-roa­ders know. This time we wan­ted to give Ser­bia a try and it was real­ly worth it. The tour cor­re­sponds to the spe­ci­fied level of dif­fi­cul­ty, no winch is requi­red, but it is still a nice mix of gra­vel roads and some­what more chal­len­ging pas­sa­ges. Top sce­n­ery👍👍 The gui­des were very nice and hel­pful! The hotel cate­go­ries in Ser­bia are of cour­se not com­pa­ra­ble with Aus­tri­an or Ger­man stan­dards, but they are com­ple­te­ly ok. I would hap­pi­ly tra­vel with NPL again!

It was tru­ly uni­que! A trip that was pro­fes­sio­nal­ly orga­ni­zed and yet very fri­end­ly and cor­di­al. The coun­try, the moun­ta­ins and the tours speak for them­sel­ves. Pure impres­si­ons! We would also like to say a huge thank you for your help after our tech­ni­cal defect! We hope to see you again soon, then wit­hout a break­down.

The tour was sim­ply fan­ta­stic. Beau­tiful land­scapes, chal­len­ging ter­rain, very good accom­mo­da­ti­on and gre­at sup­port from Nils and Alek. They both have a lot of expe­ri­ence, are hel­pful and you just feel safe. For us roo­kies, it was also real­ly nice to ride with so many nice and expe­ri­en­ced peo­p­le in the group. We lear­ned a lot! The cont­act with NPLOVERLAND was and is always very nice and obliging. We are real­ly loo­king for­ward to Tuni­sia with you in Febru­ary 2020.

As long-time off-road enthu­si­asts in dif­fe­rent “weight clas­ses”, we spon­ta­neous­ly set off for Ser­bia at the last minu­te as “con­so­la­ti­on stragg­lers”. We have alre­a­dy explo­red the Car­pa­thi­ans seve­ral times from the north (Ukrai­ne) to the midd­le (3 x Roma­nia). True to the mot­to: “Old as a cow, still lear­ning”, our expec­ta­ti­ons were not exact­ly low. We were not dis­ap­poin­ted! Nils and Aleks had ever­y­thing under con­trol. Well, almost ever­y­thing (rain was not to be expec­ted). A smooth tour from hotel to hotel with only a mar­gi­nal amount of asphalt, breath­ta­king land­scapes with the best view­points and the tour gui­des’ good sen­se for the group and their wis­hes (to set a few high points even wit­hout rain) gave us 6 gre­at days. Ever­y­thing else has alre­a­dy been said or men­tio­ned in other reviews. In short: If you want to expe­ri­ence the Car­pa­thi­ans and are an off-road enthu­si­ast (no mat­ter what level), you should­n’t miss this tour. Unfort­u­na­te­ly we can only award 5 stars, so here’s ano­ther +++ I think we’ll see you again! Hel­mut and Frank
