Transylvania, situated in the central
part of Romania
is the most cosmopolitan province:
its inhabitants, are Romanians, Magyars, Gypsies, Germans, Jews and
Ukrainians.
The landscape, picturesque and attractive
for tourists, consists mainly in hills and mountains. Among them we have to
mention the Apuseni
Mountains which are a synthesis of the Romanian
Carpathians.
The touristic potential of Transylvania is extremely rich - this is the ideal
region where the pleasure tourism,
rest, short holidays or different sports can be done. In the mountainous
zone, the eye and heart are fascinated by the wonderful
landscapes of Transylvania.
The karst zone includes some
caves of a great speleologic value. In the mountain forests the wild boars, bears, lynxes, deer and wolf still survive
in their authentic environment. Also the flora counts
numerous of endemic and unique species, especially in the karst zones of
the mountains.
Transylvania offers a hospitable home to all its guests who want to see, to feel the nature
and peoples in an exceptional tourist
region confirmed as such by the ones who visited it. The folk customs and traditions are a point of interest
both for Romanian and foreign tourists. Among them we have to mention the
Fair of Girls on the on the Gaina
Mountain organized
every year on about July, 20th (Sf. Ilie).
Points of tourist interest are also museums and hundreds of architectural monuments in all European styles from the Gothic, baroque
and Renaissance to the Secession and modern ones. There are old
architectural piles of buildings which are relevant to the history and
civilization of the region. Among them there are the fortified
Transylvanian Saxon churches which are a characteristic defining phenomenon
for the civilization and culture
of Transylvania.
Dracula's Land, Transylvania is tiring in history and legends; it has preserved an
enormous treasure of folklore and popular art, a land of matchless
underground wealth, a land that has for centuries bred tough, industrious
people, with beautiful faces, garments, and unrivaled hospitality.
