Thanks for more excellent pictures and video Carpathian. The more I look at your posts, I more want to visit Romania!
Thank you!
If you ever will decide to visit, don't take an organized trip but rent a car or travel with train & buses and plan your journey as you want. Transport is relatively cheap and accomodation is very cheap, while at western standards.
The mountains extend on roughly 900 km² and reach 2,244 m elevation. There is a nature park with a surface of 98 km². First photo is with a 500 years old fir tree of impressive size.
Mărginimea Sibiului is an area which comprises 18 Romanian localities in the south-western part of the Sibiu County, in southern Transylvania, all of them having a unique ethnological, cultural, architectural and historical heritage. The area is situated in the immediate vicinity of the cradle of Saxon Civilisation in Transylvania - the city of Sibiu, and occupy a surface of over 200 km². The villages are situated around the valleys of different rivers which flow from the Cindrel Mountains through the Transylvanian Plateau. The architecture was influenced by the Saxon architecture.
The video is filmed during a national folkloric festival.
The castle dates from 14-15th century and is situated in the incredibly wild gorges of Argeș River, surrounded by forests filled with bears. Bears descend almost every night at the hotel at the foot of the castle, searching food.
Aerial film with Bucegi Mountains that shows the "Jurassic Park" - like alpine plateau suspended at an average altitude of over 2,000 m (maximum height 2,505 m). Toward east the slope is very inclined almost vertical. All the slopes are covered in very wild, prehistorical fir forests and inhabited by 124 bears, living on only 326 km². Plus chamoix, lynxes and other wild animals.
