On the way from Timisoara to Sibiu or from Cluj Napoca to Sibiu (both on the highway), or of course also in the opposite direction, you should not miss a detour to Alba Iulia.

Bran Castle (in German: Törzburg) is located in the Transylvania region, in Brașov County.

Regardless of whether Dracula (if he ever existed ) or his “human” counterpart (Vlad III Draculea, Vlad the Impaler) lived here or not… the castle and the entire region are definitely worth a visit.

We thank Castelul Bran for the permission to use these images.

At the highest point of the Transfagarasan, in the Carpathians of Romania, lies Lake Balea, which can be reached via the Transfagarasan road

Pictures from the summer of 2023 from Oradea, the capital of Bihor county in north-western Romania.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful pictures.

Near the city of Anina lies the Bigar Waterfall, which was formed from travertine (limestone tuff) and, in 2013, topped the list of the world’s most impressive waterfalls on the World Geography website.

A large free-standing travertine slab collapsed under its own weight on June 7, 2021. Since then, the appearance of the waterfall has changed, but it remains well worth a visit.

Once a popular excursion spot, today a beautiful restaurant (open daily from 10:00 to 22:00, reservation required) in the Valley of the Fairies.

Castelul de Lut Valea Zanelor is located about 40 km from Sibiu (towards Brasov) in the village of Porumbacu de Sus.

Pictures of Cluj-Napoca (in German Klausenburg, in Hungarian Kolozsvar) from June 29 and 30. The city is (probably*) the second largest city in Romania and the capital of Cluj County in Transylvania.

With a population of around 400,000, Cluj-Napoca is the unofficial capital of the Transylvania region. There are universities, a lively nightlife and many buildings from the times of Hungarian and Saxon rule. Around the main square Piata Unirii are the Gothic St. Michael’s Church and an equestrian statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who lived in the 15th century. The baroque Banffy Palace is now a museum displaying Romanian art.

The Sphinx (in Romanian Sfinxul) is a natural rock formation located in the Bucegi Mountains*, at an altitude of approximately 2,215 meters.

*The Bucegi Mountains are located south of the city of Brașov, on the eastern edge of the Southern Carpathians in Romania.

The commune of Ungra (in German: Galt, in Hungarian: Ugra) is located in Brașov County and consists of the two villages Dăișoara and Ungra.

Ungra is situated about 10 km from Rupea, on the right bank of the Olt River.

We thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending these pictures (photos from early August 2024).

Pictures from August in previous years, which will soon be repeated. The sun is shining, it will get very hot, and the water is wonderfully fresh.

The Romanian seaside stretches for about 70 km and includes, besides Vama Veche, places like Constanta, Mamaia, Mamaia-Sat, Eforie Nord and Sud, Costinesti, Olimp, Neptun, Mangalia, and several others. There are also long (and deserted) beaches in the Danube Delta region, between Sulina and Sf. Gheorghe. The total length of the Romanian Black Sea coast is about 280 kilometers.

Our destination (the pictures) was Vama Veche , the southernmost place on the Romanian Black Sea coast, just a few hundred meters from the border with Bulgaria.

Vama Veche is mainly visited by a younger crowd; it is the party zone, the so-called “Malle” of Romania, with about 3,000 to 4,000 visitors on weekends and loud music around the clock.

There are many reasons to visit the 5* Lebada Luxury Resort & SPA in the Danube Delta. Today: adventure and soooooo delicious food.

https://www.newlebadaresort.com/en/ | https://welcome-to-romania.com

Guests are expected to stay in 187 rooms and suites, divided into 17 categories and also with a panoramic view of the Danube. Relax at the in-house wellness centre, take a tour of the Danube Delta or “just” go fishing. The wide range of offers at Lebada Resort will convince you too.
