A couple places. One was in the valley of the roses. The other was hiking along the top of hills by sighisora that connect the monastaries. One every 8-10 miles or so. Don't actually know what the area was called, I didn't mean to go there, just kinda ended up there (Sighisora I mean, I was trying to get to Cluj). I know its a UNESCO area though. Beautiful area. Freakin' gypsy kid stole my camera there though so I don't have any photos! irked.gif furious.gif mad.gif Where were you?
I believe the areas you are describing are in Romania. I have hiked pretty extensively in Bulgaria as I lived there for 11 years, but I prefer the alpine mountains (Rila and especially Pirin).
My bad, you are right. I was thinking Romania. Must be the research paper I'm on working on (which is on Romania and so its what I've been thinking about lately). In Bulgaria it was just around Plovdiv and the Valley of the Roses. Where I couldn't tell you, I was with a friend who lives there and she was just kinda happily dragging me around. smile.gif I think I may be back in the area next year and will try to hit up some more places in Bulgaria if I have time smile.gif

Brian C. is pretty much the go-to guy on out of state trips. We did some when I was a kid, as an adult, just a few that have already been named.

Lots of hiking in the Adirondacks of N.Y., Vermont, New Hampshire , and Maine. Some in the Appalachian Mts of Georgia. I've lived in all those states. Also spent a month climbing and hiking in Wales and Cornwall in England.

I had the amazing good fortune to spend the whole of last October in Italy as the spouse of a resident scholar at the Rockefeller Bellagio Center. The center is housed in a 16th-century ducal palace on a hillside above Bellagio—smack dab in the center of Lake Como (on a peninsula).
Spouses were advised to have a project of their own, and mine was to climb all the nearby peaks. I may not have climbed them all, but I did manage a fair few—Grignone, Grignetta, Crucione, Bregagno, etc.—as well as taking several mid-level walks. Grignone, the highest peak, is aound 9000 ft. (the lake is at 650).
The terrain varies considerably—from grassy alpine pastures to barren limestone spires—but the one thing all these hikes have in common are the incredible views of Lake Como (as well as Lake Lugano, in some cases).
October is a fabulous month to be in Italy—temperatures are still in the low 70s, and most of the tourists have gone home.
Information about this area in English is not very plentiful—the few books I found beforehand described only low-level rambles suitable for Sunday walkers. I did find a couple of very useful websites (in Italian) , but they made the hikes sound daunting. In the event, the hikes were all very doable—certainly no more difficult than the average I-90 summit (though longer and higher). In some places, there are chains fixed to the rocks to assist.
If anyone would like more information about hiking in this area, feel free to PM me.

Just last week... hiked to Waimoku Falls on Maui (only 4 miles round trip). Had a great week with the family, but a few extra trail days sure would have been fun also.
