Discover the Highlights of Romania
1. The Danube River Delta and the Black Sea
The Danube Delta, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is Europe’s second-largest delta and one of the most biodiverse regions on the continent, home to over 300 bird species and the largest colony of Dalmatian pelicans.
The nearby Black Sea coast features historic port cities like Constanța, which can be discovered on our Danube Delta and Black Sea Cycling Tour.
2. Carpathian Mountains
The Carpathian Mountains, stretching across Romania, Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine, are one of Europe’s last great wilderness areas. In Romania, they cover over 50% of the country, featuring dense forests, deep gorges, and alpine meadows, all gathered in the Carpathian Mountains Cycling Tour.
The region is home to Europe’s largest brown bear population, medieval castles, and scenic hiking and cycling routes. The Transfăgărășan and Transalpina roads, two of the world’s most spectacular drives, cross these rugged peaks.
3. Saxon Heritage
Saxon heritage in Transylvania dates back to the 12th century when German settlers, Saxons, were invited to fortify the region. They built UNESCO-listed fortified churches, medieval towns like Sibiu, Brașov, and Sighișoara, and well-preserved villages such as Viscri and Biertan.
4. Transylvania
Transylvania, a land of medieval castles, Saxon villages, and dramatic Carpathian landscapes, is one of Romania’s most fascinating regions. It is home to UNESCO-listed fortified churches, Bran Castle, and the well-preserved medieval citadel of Sighișoara, which you can explore on the Via Transilvanica Bike Tour.
5. Bran Castle
Bran Castle, often linked to the Dracula legend, is one of Romania’s most famous landmarks. It served as a strategic fortress guarding the mountain pass between Transylvania and Wallachia.
While there is no historical evidence connecting it to Vlad the Impaler, its dramatic hilltop location, medieval architecture, and eerie atmosphere have made it a symbol of the Dracula myth.
6. Count Dracula
Count Dracula, the iconic vampire from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, is inspired by Vlad the Impaler, a 15th-century Wallachian ruler known for his brutal tactics.
Even though Stoker never visited Romania, he based Dracula’s character on gothic folklore and vampire myths, associating it with Bran Castle.
Romania – One Country Of Many Lands
Romania has a remarkable geographic diversity. Over half of the country’s landscape is covered by the Carpathian Mountains, shifting from dense forests and alpine meadows to the rolling hills and fortified villages of the Transylvanian Plateau.
South and east of the Carpathians, the Moldavian plateau and the Romanian plain extend, forming the largest lowland area in the country, known for its fertile farmland and vineyards. These two regions form a transition zone between the Carpathians and the Danube floodplain.
The Danube Delta, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is one of Europe’s most biodiverse wetlands and part of the Black Sea Coast, stretching along 245 kilometers. The coastal region offers sandy beaches, ancient Greek and Roman ruins, and Romania’s largest port, Constanța.
The diverse landscape, from mountain peaks to coastal shores, makes Romania a destination rich in nature, history, and cultural heritage.
