My country has several beautiful parts where can compete with any place around the world. From plain fields with rivers and forests, wheat plants with poppy flowers between them, or fields full of rapeseed flowers, to nice hills of Subcarpathians parts, with ancient houses and welcoming people, to nice views in the mountains, good feelings on the Danube Delta and nice parties on Seaside Resort station, Mamaia.
Now I'm gonna present you a part of a Transylvania, a famous region described as a territory for vampires and other night mythical creatures. Well, the legend is just a legend and is caused by the horrified enemies of our kings, who got some allies caught and killed in some bloody manners.
Anyway, I will show you some from the West - Central Transylvania part, where the Apuseni mountains are growing from the ground to protect the forests and the animals hidden here.
We still have bears and wild boars, you can see a stag or a deer, rabbits or pheasants, etc
We have places you can eat trout right from the lake where they are living, with polenta and some garlic sauce, like this:
You can watch a video about that place to make a better impression:
So, this is the spirit you will meet in Transylvania. You can find more things about this part of my country here:
"The Apuseni Mountains (Romanian: Munții Apuseni, Hungarian: Erdélyi-középhegység) is a mountain range in Transylvania, Romania, which belongs to the Western Romanian Carpathians, also called Occidentali in Romanian. Their name translates from Romanian as Mountains "of the sunset", i.e., "western". The highest peak is the Bihor Peak (Hungarian: Nagy-Bihar) at 1,849 metres (6,066 ft). The Apuseni Mountains have about 400 caves."
Yes, the caves, I almost forgot about them. There are few nice one and quite unique.
"The Apuseni Mountains do not present an uninterrupted chain of mountains, but possess many low and easy passes towards the Crișana and the Great Hungarian Plain. Going from south to north the principal groups are: the Munții Metaliferi ("Ore Mountains") with the basaltic masses of the Detunata (1,148 metres (3,766 ft)) near Abrud; the Bihor Mountains, with numerous caverns, with the highest peak the Bihorul (1,849 metres (6,066 ft));[1] to the east of this group are the Muntele Mare (highest peak 1,820 metres (5,970 ft)), to the southwest of Cluj-Napoca; the northernmost chain is the Seș and Meseș Mountains."
Those mountains contains some of them named "Metaliferi" - from metals, because they were full of gold, bronze, copper and others, so many people from here worked in mines.
Unfortunately, not so clean industry like crypto mining, and, for sure, not so well paid.
But that's another story. This is mine:
I was yesterday on a one day trip to see some unvisited places yet of my country, where the roads are still on building and only few houses.
But in the next 3 years, a new road which will cross the mountains will be ready, with bicycle tracks and other things to make this place easier to visit.
The road will be 78 km long and will cross 3 mountains: Trascau, The Big Mountain and Bihor.
This is the area filmed with a drone:
The pictures are mine, the video, not. Here I will present you some of the Bihor Mountains.
I am really sorry for you guys because you cannot feel how the real image is and you can look only at these flat pictures.
You should trust me the view is absolutely delightful.
How is this in black and white?
This is where I'd like to build my cottage, because of the beautiful view of the mountains (previous picture).
And this is what I want to completely transform it in a modern place to stay, but keeping the old shape, with the same walls and roof.
I can show you a preview, but imagine it with the old roof:
