● Passing through the sky resorts of the Carpathian Mountains, you’ll stop and visit Peles Castle, one of the most astonishing royal residences of Europe.
● Undeterred by its sinister reputation, you then cross into Transylvania, the mythical land named by the Romans and hectically fought over by Romanians, Hungarians, Ottoman Turks and Austrians.
● In nearby walled city of Brasov, you will walk through the streets of the Medieval old town and be dwarfed by its majestic 14th century Gothic cathedral.
● Proceed with the UNESCO peasant-built multi-story fortification complex of Prejmer, where the foremost local families had a refuge room to run to during the frequent invasions. In the early evening, check into an old baron’s estate turned into a cozy luxury hotel.
● Take a swim or just have some rest, waiting for your carriage ride over the fields to a sheepfold, where you will join the shepherds for a memorable dinner of their self-made cheese, moonshine and steaming lamb stew around the open fire.
