Regional cuisine
 

The Romanian cuisine is characterized by the cultural heritage of many nations and stands out due to the high quality and abundance of local products. Enjoy for example fresh fish in the Danube Delta, and be sure to taste the truffles available in the Carpathians! The quality and diversity of Romanian wines has dramatically increased to a remarkable level in the last years - embark on a culinary journey of all the senses during your stay in this beautiful country!

Traditional customs
 

There’s nothing like soaking in the local customs and taking a bit of Romania back home. We have an extremely colorful culture – mystical holidays that revolve around the religious calendar, humorous attitude towards the afterlife (The Merry Cemetery in Săpânța) and the most beautiful folk dances.

Camp fires
 

After a stimulating day of hiking in the woods of Romania, you return to your tent, start a nice campfire with your friends and tell scary stories. Don’t get too scared though, your holiday will be nothing but exciting in the Carpathian Mountains.

Wild animals
 

The higher or the deeper you drive into the Carpathian wilderness, be warned that there is a slight possibility to find some wild critters on the road. They are harmless, but try to drive carefully.
