Not only has Transylvania proven to be Europe's great undiscovered trail riding destination, but it can also lay claim as the homeland of Bram Stoker's Count Dracula and has lent it's unique landscapes also to the acclaimed 2003 film of "Cold Mountain". Step back in time and explore the forested hills of Northern Romania, where horses are still used to plow the fields and to pull hay carts during harvest time. The untouched Rodna Mountains overlook the dramatic sweep that was Dracula's domain. To the south lies the Borgo Pass, now immortalized by Bram Stoker and his notorious fictional character.
Close by are historic Saxon towns and the famous painted monasteries of Moldovita, Humor and Voronet, which are well worth a visit before or after the ride. The surrounding forests are home to bears, wolves, lynx and deer, while the hay fields are full of bountiful wild flowers.
This is absolutely beautiful and timeless riding country which every horseback enthusiast should experience in their lifetime.
Transylvania may be closely associated as the homeland of Count Dracula, but is also part of the dramatic history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and boasts well-preserved Medieval villages and excellent Romanian wines.....

Transylvania region is very different from the southern part of Romania which includes Bucharest...You will have to pass through Bucharest to get to Transylvania,so I just wanted to give you a notice,not to be disappointed by the Capital...there is still a lot of grey, dusty streets,not so much greenery sights around, thanks to our previous communist heritage...:(
ReplyDeleteBut I know for a fact that who ever visits this country will come to know the true beauty of nature and will learn to appreciate simple life in a very different way
