Transylvania鈥 the land beyond the forest. The name sounds like it comes from a fairy tale, like Narnia or Neverland. And there are thousands other reasons to fall in love with this place. The Carpathian Mountains are unique in nature and landscapes, once seen you will always recognise a view on any picture. Medieval castles and towns keep the spirit of kings and knights taking you to a back in time travel. Remote mountain villages let you forget about 21st-century rush and plunge into real rural living tightly linked with nature in every detail of everyday life.
