| THE SPIRIT OF WHAT ? |
|
Just in case you haven't guessed it by the title, this site is all about a country. Romania.
A country well hidden somewhere in the south-eastern Europe, acting as a border between members of the former soviet block and the Western Europe.
If you're not a Romanian, you probably didn't hear too much about it, unless you're a football or gymnastics fan. Or unless you saw too many movies with vampires or Dracula and you began to question their credibility.
|
The site you're browsing is an attempt to prove that Romania is one of the most amazing, though heavily underestimated European travel destinations. A particularly different attempt, because you'll have the opportunity to read both good and bad things about it, biased opinions and unbiased travel journals and to discover for yourself the contrasts and magic behind it.
Then, you'll draw your own conclusions...

In 1298, the town was mentioned as Schespurch, while in 1367 it was called Civitas de Seguswar. Today, the medieval air still rules over the old city... |

 "In the morning light, during their trip through Transylvania, the future knights will see the profile of the Rasnov fortress. Its mysterious quietness draws them to it, as if hiding in its thick, eroded walls, terrible secrets are waiting to be discovered"
Well, guided by this, we decided to take a short trip to Rasnov and use our almost non-existent writing skills to tell you all about it.
Transylvanian landscapes, hitchhiking through Romania, ways of turning ancient remains into commercial travel destinations, life stories, we guess you'll find a bit of everything in here... |
