We are excited to now present Romanian recipes in German with the corresponding preparation instructions. Thanks for the recipes to instagram.com/rumanische__rezepte/ ... here you can also always find a video of the dish and the recipe in Romanian.

CIORBA DE ZARZAVAT, a delicious Romanian vegetable soup, where "lovage" is essential as it gives the dish its special flavor.

Ingredients:
1/2 onion
1 red bell pepper
3-4 carrots
A piece of celery
4 fresh tomatoes
1 small bowl of frozen peas (or a can)
250 ml of tomato purée
500 grams of stew meat
Vegetable broth, salt, pepper
A bit of lemon juice
Sour cream
Hot peppers
Lovage

Dice the onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and tomatoes and briefly sauté them. You can also add diced potatoes to taste.

Then cover the ingredients with water and let them simmer. Add the stew meat (cut into bite-sized pieces). Add enough water to cover, along with the peas and tomato purée. Stir occasionally and add water as needed.

Once the vegetables and meat are cooked, season the soup with vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought), salt, pepper, and a bit of lemon juice. The soup tastes best with sour cream, hot peppers, and freshly chopped lovage, added just before serving.

Do you know the Ice Hotel at Balea Lake? Not yet... then it’s time for a trip this coming winter 🥰

https://www.hotelofice.ro

The hotel is rebuilt every year (planned opening December 23, 2025) and simply melts away again in early summer 😅. Due to its location (at 2,034 meters, Fagaras Mountains, Sibiu County), cold and long winters are guaranteed, and besides the wonderful winter landscape, it is another highlight of this region.

Balea Lake can be reached by cable car / gondola (3.7 km, Monday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). The starting point for the cable car is Balea Waterfall (Cabana Balea Cascada). The hotel usually opens in mid / late December and has a season of about 4 months (depending on the weather and winter conditions).

Pictures from one of the last "hotel seasons" from previous years.

"Romania, Day 10 – Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. ❤️

Getting up early was worth it. 🙂 The sunrise boat tour was WOW. 😎

Today is a lazy day at the campsite, a bit of laundry, tomorrow we move on. A few pictures from the enchanting Danube Delta, I could share many more. It's almost hard to believe that just 25 km away, last week, there were drone attacks on a Ukrainian port. 🧐 But we feel very safe here. 👍"

Thanks to Gerhard and Daniela Zitzmann for the pictures and text.

Transylvania is rich in history and around 160 fortified churches invite interested visitors to take a journey through the past and present of the Transylvanian region.

An overview of all these fortified churches and much more information:

Food is, above all... hearty 😅. Romanian dishes are meat-heavy, fatty, usually prepared with plenty of oil and spices, and often accompanied by many sour and pickled vegetables.

To finish, for dessert, there are sweets. Papanasi, clatite cu inghetata (pancakes with ice cream), prajitura (cakes / all kinds of slices), and much more... Romania is also famous for these.

Pictures of offerings from last year's events, which will surely make many people hungry 🥰

If you want to drink your coffee in style today, here’s the perfect serving suggestion, because today is Halloween 🎃

The name Halloween comes from the English name for the evening before All Saints’ Day (All Hallows Evening) on November 1, which over the years was simplified and shortened. Irish immigrants probably brought the tradition to the USA a few hundred years ago, and from there, about 30 to 35 years ago, it returned to Europe and then also to Romania.

Halloween parties and events can be found in all major cities in Romania from west to east, and of course around Bran Castle, the home of Count Dracula.

A holiday, a round trip through Transylvania and neighbouring regions in Romania.

We would like to thank Mr Daniel Sippel for sending us these wonderful impressions of his trip.

A small selection of destinations in Romania: Brasov / Kronstadt, Transylvania, Bran Castle / Törzburg, the "Merry Cemetery" of Sapanta, the Old Town of Bucharest, the Bigar Waterfall, and much, much more...

Beautiful autumn pictures of Romania by photographer Sorin Onisor. Impressive, colorful, and simply ... wonderful 🥰

Another picture by photographer Sorin Onisor, which he "captured" a few days ago. In the countryside, especially older people still live with great hardships, especially in winter. But ... despite everything, fly swatter held high 😅, people here are in many ways much more content and happier than we are with all our "luxury" 🥰

We thank the photographer Sorin Onisor ( facebook.com/sorinonisor ) for granting permission to use these wonderful pictures.

“Bunicii” for grandparents, and “bunica” for grandmother (Oma). In Romania, family has a much higher importance than in Germany, and grandmothers, who continue working alongside their families even into old age, have been and still are the backbone of many families.

A hard life, yet always there for everyone – this defines the daily reality of these women. And… they are and will remain the best cooks in the whole country, and we can confirm this from our own experience.
