The geographical
configuration, the variety of the land, and the multitude of rivers created
good conditions for peoples' settling and continuity in this region since
the oldest time.
The natural landscape varied especially
in mountain and hilly zones as
well as historic, ethnographic and folk elements offer special attractions for tourists.
Being named the most wonderful region of
the Carpathians, the Prahova
Valley with its
resorts (Sinaia, Azuga, Busteni, Breaza) is an interesting region both for
tourists and investors.
On the plateau of the Bucegi Mountains,
the two works of nature named
Babele and Sfinx fascinate the tourists. In the mountain and hilly zone
there are a lot of natural ice lakes as well as man-made lakes.
Not far from Tagoviste, situated on a
little hill, there is the Dealu Monastery, a nice monastic place in whose church Voivode Mihai the Brave's head is
buried.
To protect some rare species of
flora and fauna, as well as some
valuable elements of the landscape in this province they were named
monuments of nature and are protected in natural reservations. Among them,
we have to mention the Piatra Craiului reservation of flora and fauna.
The Romanian and foreign tourists who
visit this province have to go to see Curtea de Arges, one of the most
precious treasury of Romanian mediaeval art and architecture. Situated in the central part of Romania, near by
the Carpathians, about 150 km far from Bucharest, Curtea de Arges was the
first capital city of our country in 1330 and here there are valuable art
monuments, a true museum of the Romanian history in a wonderful landscape.
The Transfagarasan highway, the grandest
work of this kind in Romania,
is situated at 2,034 m above sea level, with a tunnel of 845 m long under
the Negoiu and Moldoveanu Peaks, is a wonderful way with a picturesque
view over the Arges Valley.
Not the least, we have to mention the city
of Bucharest as the most important cultural
and historical point of turistic
attraction in Romania.
