The statue of the Dacian king Decebalus (ca. 86 to 106 AD) is 55 meters high and the largest / highest rock sculpture in Europe.

It is located on a rock formation in the Almaj Mountains on the banks of the Danube, close to the municipality of Dubova (Mehedinti district) in the Iron Gate Nature Park (Parcul Natural Portile de Fier).

It took 10 years, one million US dollars and 12 sculptors to create it … and it was not commissioned by the Dacian king himself, as was perhaps thought, but by a Romanian businessman and historian between 1994 and 2004.

The gorges are located in the municipality of Banita in Hunedoara County and take place along the high limestone walls.

They are about 300 meters long and have been dug by deep water in limestone. On quiet summer days, they can be visited, waterproof shoes are a necessity, because the path in the keys also leads through the water.

The height of the rock walls is about 10-15 meters and shows how the water eroded the rock. In many places, the rocks form a roof, which has been formed by horizontal erosion depending on the current for hundreds of years.

The university city of Iasi (German: Jassy and Jasch, Hungarian: Jaszvasarist) is located about 20 kilometers west of the border with the Republic of Moldova.

The Palace of Culture in Iasi (Romanian: Palatul Culturii), which served as an administrative and judicial palace until 1955, now houses four museums under the name Moldavia National Museum Complex.

https://welcome-to-romania.com | https://rotravel24.com

The palace features 298 large rooms with a total area of approximately 34,000 m2 and 92 windows in the front part of the building, as well as another 36 inside the building.

Bistritz, Romanian Bistrita, Hungarian Beszterce, in the county of Bistrita-Nasaud, in the north of Transylvania, is the capital of the so-called Nösnerland.

The town’s landmark is the Protestant parish church with the highest church tower in Romania (75 m). The church was badly damaged in a major fire in 2008. The extensive restoration and renovation work was completed this year. From the tower of the parish church, which can be reached by elevator, you have a fantastic view over the town and the surrounding mountains.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these wonderful pictures and the corresponding text/explanation.

The Vâlcea Village Museum is located in the village of Bujoreni, about 4 km from the county capital, Râmnicu Vâlcea.

The museum is arranged like a village and showcases life in rural settlements in past times. The idea was developed in 1969 and gradually implemented. It is definitely worth a visit.

We thank Mr. Alexander Laszlo for his efforts and for sending these images (taken on 17 September 2023).

The Carpenters’ Tower in Sibiu (German: Zimmermannsturm) was built in the 14th century by the Saxon carpenters’ guild in Sibiu. The tower was part of the city’s third fortification belt and is today the left tower of the preserved defensive and fortress wall. It is located on Citadel Street (Harteneckgasse, named after Mayor Johann Sachs von Harteneck).

The Potters’ Tower (Romanian: Turnul Olarilor) was built in the 15th century by the Saxon potters’ guild. It was also part of the city’s third fortification belt and is located to the right of the preserved defensive and fortress wall.

Pictures from Cluj-Napoca (German: Klausenburg, 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.

Cluj-Napoca, with about 400,000 inhabitants, is considered the unofficial capital of the Transylvania region. The city has universities, a vibrant 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.

Rupea Fortress (German: Repser Burg) is located near the town of Rupea (German: Reps), about 50 km from Brasov (Kronstadt) – on the way to Targu Mures – and is one of the oldest castles on Romanian territory.

The fortress was built in the 11th century and is the landmark of the city of Rupea. Situated high above the town on the Kohalm Hill (578 meters), it can be seen from afar. It is first mentioned in documents in 1324, when the Saxons fought against the King of Hungary.

Untouched nature and plenty of history, traditions and customs, vibrant cities and quiet country life, time for hiking, the beach and the Black Sea, the Danube Delta, castles and fortresses, 180 fortified churches in Transylvania, diverse delicious specialties, Count Dracula and sooooo much more

The Mud Volcanoes (Romanian: Vulcanii Noroioși) are located in the commune of Berca in Buzau County. As early as 1924, the area with a size of 30 km² was declared a nature reserve.

The main attraction of the protected area are small mud volcanoes, which range from a few centimeters to several meters high. This is cold volcanism. The volcanoes are formed by gases rising from a depth of about 3,000 meters through clay and water-bearing layers. On the earth’s surface, the mud dries and forms structures resembling a volcano.

The city of Craiova (also Krajowa) is the largest city in the historical region of Small Wallachia and the capital of Dolj County.

https://xn--urlaub-in-rumnien-2qb.de/ | https://xn--willkommen-in-rumnien-m2b.de/

It is located about 220 kilometers west of Bucharest, in the Wallachian Plain, on the left bank of the Jiu (Shil) River. A Dacian settlement called Pelendava existed on the site of today’s city from around 400-350 BC. At the beginning of the 2nd century AD, the Romans set up a camp here. Remains of this Roman fort have been excavated in the Craiova urban area.

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Densuș (Demsdorf), Hunedoara County, in western Romania, is the oldest stone church in the country.

Built in its current form in the 13th century on the site of a 2nd-century Roman temple, it used materials from the Dacian fortress of Sarmizegetusa. The church interior features 15th-century frescoes depicting Jesus in traditional Romanian attire.

Historians suggest the site once housed a Dacian temple for the god Zamolxis, later turned into a Roman temple for Mars. The church’s origins trace back to the 4th century, making it the oldest church in Romania and Southeast Europe.

The Schiltal, or Valea Jiului in Romanian, is nestled in the Retezat Mountains, Hunedoara County, and was once the largest mining area in Romania.

From the middle of the 19th century, miners and experts from different parts of Europe and many different nationalities came here and have shaped the image of this region to this day. Of the 16 former coal mines, three are still in operation today. In winter, until spring, there are also many winter sports activities in this area around the towns of Petrosani and Lupeni.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these wonderful pictures and the corresponding text/explanation.
