Find a location

Transylvania, with its name coming from Latin ultra silvam (beyond the forest), is one of the most interesting and surprising regions of Romania. Its German, Hungarian and Romanian cultural traditions play a great role in its cultural and ethnic diversity. The Transylvanian plateau is surrounded by mountain peaks and drained by sparkling rivers which makes it both a pleasant place for a relaxing holiday with a landscape pleasing to the eye and an exciting place for adventure-seeking travellers.

I left Sighisoara eight years ago to fulfill my education in North America. Browsing your website reminds me once again what a beautiful place I left behind.
Thank you for sharing the photos and info with everyone interested. I am looking forward to revisit the places and convince others to do the same.
Keep up the good work,
Adi
