Romania. A fabulous country. People do not know much about him. Some know it is a country in Eastern Europe, others heard about the atrocious Ceausescu dictatorship. Romania will know some of television: they have seen reports on the poverty of the land or count how many homeless children living in the street begging, hunger. Other Romania are described in the words of others, the land of beautiful women, a mixture of Latin and Slavic culture, mysterious and fascinating. Bucharest, the capital, often being called "Little Paris" and many other wonders await Romania.

A wonder is Transylvania - The country between forests - an area Real Romanian, steeped in history and imposing in all its glory. The site has everything from pastoral landscapes, a height Breathtaking (West Carpathians, also called the Apuseni Mountains, cross the county from north to south), the medieval towns (being Sighisoara The most famous of all, the hometown of Prince Dracula) and rustic villages, where many ancient traditions are maintained and pious people are friendly and welcoming.

When traveling in Transylvania, there is no better way to enjoy your trip to stay in a bed, private property and villa guests. Remember: you're in wine country. Romanians make delicious wines, some of which you never find in stores for these wines are as tasty as the more expensive store brands, if not more acceptable. So do not choose a hotel. They are too expensive, the service is poor (there is still much to do in Romania when it comes to customer service and tourism) and the food is not so great. At taste of tradition, choosing to spend their holidays in a village or a country house outside a village, where the hostess will welcome you (in his first visit), with Usual special snack of bread and salt and a shot of Pălincă - a traditional Romanian alcoholic beverage, popular in Transylvania. Bread and salt have meaning symbolic composed of Rumanian how to say "Welcome to my house." You probably will not find the same patterns everywhere you go, some traditions are lost, but do not be surprised if you find it.

Not far from Brasov, in Miclosoara (a small town in the foothills of the Carpathians) is "El Conde" guest houses. Here are a bunch Winter sports and skiing in Poiana Resort, bear and wolf tracking (oh yes, the land is wilderness: bear population overall - you will not find not in other European countries), birding (there are many rare birds in the region, including eagles, owls in the Urals, climbing wall, black stork) Cross-cultural excursions and activities (most places you visit are listed as World Heritage site of UNESCO).

The Count is one of the many rooms and breakfast accommodation in the region. We mention this because his name - Yes, it is Count Dracula (although in real life he was a prince) - it is much easier to remember this destination. However, Transylvania is magical and a lot Other destinations are waiting for you to discover.
