This exciting and once in a lifetime tour has been organised for the more daring and adventurous ghost hunters amongst you as we will be spending not just one, but two nights deep inside the most haunted forest in the world – Hoia Baciu.
NEW DATES COMING SOON - PLEASE KEEP CHECKING THE WEBSITE
Your three night tour includes return flights, en-suite hotel accommodation, breakfast and dinner, coach travel from the airport throughout Romania, English speaking tour guides, two nights of ghost hunting inside Hoia Baciu Forest and a tour of Banffy Castle. This tour includes all taxes, entrance fees and is ATOL protected. Guests should be able to sustain the intensity of this tour in order to participate fully. There is a lot of walking and some of this is uphill.
Hoia Baciu Forest sits Just outside Cluj, Napoca, Romania’s second largest City in the depths of Transylvania. The forest covers an area of over 250 hectares and is often referred to as the Bermuda Triangle of this part of the world. It has a huge reputation for intense paranormal activity and unexplained events. Some people believe that the forest is a gateway to another dimension. Within the dark interior of Hoia-Baciu Forest people have been known to disappear, strange lights have been seen and even the wind seems to talk.
There are several stories of people entering the forest and experiencing missing time. Some people have been known to be missing for quite some time with no recollection of how they had spent that time. One such story focuses on a 5-year-old girl who wandered into the woods and got lost. The story goes that she emerged from the forest 5 years later wearing the same untarnished clothes that she wore on the day she disappeared with no memory of where had happened in that interval of time. Many reports have included ghost sightings, unexplained apparitions, faces appearing in photographs that were not visible with the naked eye. This is also backed up by the large circular clearing in the forest where nothing is able to grow. With its crooked trees, whispering branches and sinister trails leading to even stranger tree formations this is definitely not a tour for the faint-hearted.
There are two sides to Hoia Baciu Forest and this tour will take in both on two consecutive nights. We have already closely explored one side which gave us so much activity and frankly terrified us all. We did touch on the other side but to be honest we were still reeling from the previous night’s events. This time we will be ready.

21s April 2018
After Breakfast we will embark on a tour of Cluj and interesting surrounding areas. Being in Transylvania there are so many places of interest to visit. Because of this we are still negotiating to ensure that we can take in some amazing locations whilst we are here.
After Dinner we will be taking our first journey to Hoia Baciu Forest, investigating the first side of the forest with the ominous clearing. We are flexible with timings and can stay almost as long as we wish.
22nd April 2018
After Breakfast we will be making our way to Banffy Castle in Bantida. This historic building is intriguing to say the least and with so much history attached to it, the best thing to do in order to understand its importance within Transylvania is to follow the attached link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonțida_Bánffy_Castle
We will be able to carry out a few investigations there even in the day due to its solitude and remoteness.
After dinner we will be taking our second journey to Hoia Baciu Forest. This time we will be investigating the other side where it is said to have the portal to another world. Again we can stay for as long as we wish.
