Hi all! Today we will go with you to the mysterious country of Romania. You were there? I haven’t yet, but I will definitely go, because nothing compares to a real trip. To increase your desire to visit this territory, I will tell you about the magical side of Romania.
Dark and mysterious, Romania is an ideal country for those who believe in wizards, witches, ghosts and vampires.
- Breathtaking landscapes;
- mountains and valleys covered with fog;
- warm Black Sea;
- dense forests, rivers and numerous lakes;
- ancient castles and no less ancient customs
Being in such a place, you understand that reality and magic can coexist.
The uniqueness of Romanian folk culture lies in its archaic nature: ancient knowledge is carefully preserved in its original form, practically unchanged. Church control in Romania has always been less strict than in Western or Central Europe. There was no organization similar to the Inquisition, which means that the pagans were not subject to massive and systematic persecution. And the mentality of the Romanians played a role: for centuries they were influenced by the most different nations, but always adhered to their culture and traditions.
Dracula: legends and reality
Perhaps the first association with the word “Romania” for most foreigners will be “Count Dracula”. This colorful character can rightfully be called the most famous Romanian, and the castle is the most important attraction of the country, which thousands of tourists consider it their duty to visit.
Meanwhile, on honorary title“Dracula's Castle” claims several ancient estates at once. Supporters of different theories have their own numerous arguments, however, it is generally accepted that the legendary vampire still lived in Bran Castle, thirty kilometers from small town Brasov.
To be precise, in Romania, Dracula is a common name belonging to two different heroes. One of them marked the beginning of the literary and cinematic “career” of the bloodthirsty count; this is the image created by the Irishman Bram Stoker in the novel “Dracula” (1897). The namesake of this hero (and, concurrently, his prototype) lived a very real life and went down in history as the incredibly cruel ruler of Wallachia, one of the Regions of Romania.
In 1931, archaeological excavations were carried out to verify the truth of this legend, but no remains were found. There were no remains of a coffin or anything that would indicate a burial. However, lovers of mysteries and mystics not only were not disappointed, but, on the contrary, began to heatedly discuss a new issue: the mysterious disappearance of the body of the vampire count. All these mysterious stories and give Romania that unique flavor for which it is so loved.
Romanian witches
For Romanians, witches are not characters from ancient fairy tales, but very real, familiar creatures who live side by side with them and do not surprise anyone. Local residents have long trusted witches and sorcerers; faith in them is strong to this day, especially in rural areas.
An important event was the legalization of magic, witchcraft and witchcraft in 2011. This means that professions such as fortune teller, palmist, black magician and the like were classified as entrepreneurs. Servants of the dark and light forces were obliged to give 16% of their income to the treasury, which caused a strong resonance in the magical world. The anger of witches (and in the vast majority of cases this profession in Romania is female) knew no bounds. According to them, the new tax would leave them without a livelihood, because their earnings are not at all great.
The witches also noted their merits in the fight against natural disasters (which are not uncommon in Romania and can be truly destructive). The state, according to women, does not show due gratitude for magical support, while politicians themselves often turn to spells for their enemies.
Angered by the arbitrariness of the authorities, the furies decided to take revenge on the government using a method available only to them: to impose a terrible curse on the members of the cabinet of ministers! To carry out the ritual, 13 witches gathered at night on the banks of the Danube. They prepared and, having carried out all the necessary manipulations in such cases, poured a poisonous decoction into the river (they said that it contained a magical plant). Bratara Buzea, the supreme witch of Romania, told reporters: “We harm those who harmed us.” History is silent about whether “the most terrible curse in the world” worked.
A modern innovation that has entered the lives of Romanian wizards and witches and has significantly influenced it is the Internet. “We must use modern technologies and keep up with the times,” they say.
Unlike their Russian counterparts, Romanian sorcerers can advertise their services and offer various potions and potions legally, on a par with ordinary goods and services. A lady who has the profession of a witch here has the official right to predict the future, charm illnesses, cast love spells, etc.
The famous Romanian witch Rodica was an innovator - she was the first among her colleagues to start her own website and blog. It turned out that the ancient teachings go well with new technologies: Rodika taught fortune telling with cards online to everyone, engaged in daily interpretation of dreams and, of course, advertised her skills, promising those who contacted her the return of potency, relief from drunkenness, serious illnesses and much, much more. “I create potions and cast spells according to the ancient art of divination. However, the blog is what brings me closer to possible clients, many of whom were previously skeptical of magic,” writes Rodica. “There are no distances for magic,” says another modern witch, Domnica Vilanu from an old Romanian family.
It is worth noting that not all Romanian sorcerers were hostile to the new “magic” tax. Some even then said that this government step was a legislative recognition of the existence of witchcraft. In other words, having lost part of their income, astrologers, fortune tellers, and shamans moved from an illegal position to a completely legal one. It seems that in Romania the age-old confrontation between science and the occult has ended in a friendly draw.
Although, today Russia has already opened the door to witches and sorcerers. The program gave impetus to this movement. Websites, advertisements and offers to use such services are now everywhere, on the Internet and in newspapers.

Located in Eastern Europe and one of the countries that were once behind the Iron Curtain, Romania is not as interesting for tourists as many other EU countries. However, in recent years their numbers have been growing steadily, with a total of 9.3 million tourists from all over the world wanting to visit the country each year. Given its geography and geopolitical past, the country has a lot to offer, both in terms of cultural heritage, and in terms of the diversity of natural landscapes.
It is a mixture of East and West, and their mixture can be found in everything from architectural style to national cuisine and local customs. Transylvania, the land of the mythical Dracula, is also part of Romania, so you are sure to have a lot of experiences. Here are 10 tourist attractions in Romania that you won't want to miss.
10. Bucharest and the Palace of Parliament
If you come to Romania as a tourist, chances are your first stop will be the country's capital, Bucharest. As the sixth largest city in the EU with a 555-year history, Bucharest has a lot to offer its visitors. However, the capital of Romania is not exactly suitable for tourists. It's not that the city is dangerous, or for any other reason, it's all about public transport and accessibility of tourist information, the city needs some improvements in this regard. However, Bucharest's inconveniences are offset by the hidden treasures here waiting to be discovered.
In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Romania developed its own architectural style known as the Brancovenesc style, which was then refined in the late 19th century. Buildings in this style can be found throughout the city center, but most often in certain areas such as Cotroceni or Dorobanti. Concerning nightlife, That Old city is one of the busiest areas in the entire EU.
One of the impressive features that is immediately noticed by anyone visiting Bucharest for the first time is the Palace of Parliament. Built during the communist era and commissioned by dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, this building dominates the cityscape for miles around. In the 1980s, more than a fifth historical city was demolished to make way for grand boulevards and Soviet-style residential buildings. An entire area was also razed to the ground to build the Palace of Parliament, which is the largest administrative building in the world, and the heaviest structure ever built. With over 1,100 cabinets, the Palace is a wonderful example of megalomania that you can visit.
9. Peles Castle
Founded in 1873 by order of King Charles I of Romania and completed ten years later, the castle (Peles Castle) is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Europe. Built in the style of German New Renaissance architecture, Peles is located at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains, in the picturesque town of Sinaia, which is also a popular tourist and ski resort. The castle acted as a summer residence for the royal family from its construction until 1947. The interior of its 160 rooms is as mesmerizing as the exterior of the palace - each room has its own decor and individual theme. The armory room contains more than 4,000 weapons from Europe and Asia, and the castle's cinema is considered to be the first place where films were shown for the first time in Romania.
On the same territory a second castle was built for Charles's successor, King Ferdinand. Known as Pelisor, this smaller version of the castle is just as impressive as its larger counterpart, especially in its interior decoration. For example, in the Golden Room, the walls and furniture are covered with precious metal. After the end of World War II and the rise of the Communists, both castles were confiscated and the royal family was exiled from the country. Dictator Nicolae Ceausescu sought to turn Peles into a protocol residence, but thanks to the caretakers this never happened. They are said to have told him that the castle had a mold problem that could pose a serious health hazard to those living inside. In any case, Peles was closed to the public from 1975 to 1990, after which it was opened as a museum.
8. Danube Delta
On the southeastern edge of Romania, where the Danube River meets the Black Sea, lies the second largest wetland in Europe, known as the Danube Delta. Second in area only to the Volga Delta in Russia, this area has a total area of 1994 square kilometers. It remains one of the most pristine places on the continent and an important pit stop for many migratory birds from Africa and Europe. The Danube Delta is also home to the world's largest colony of pelicans, as well as 300 other bird species and 45 species of freshwater fish.
Accessible today only by boat, the delta's swamps and many lagoons did not yet exist about 5,000 years ago. Then this area was nothing more than a bay of the Black Sea. But over the centuries, silt has steadily accumulated at the mouth of the Danube, slowly expanding the delta to its current shape. Even to this day, the area of the marshes increases by about 40 meters every year. But despite the constantly changing landscape, people have lived here for many centuries. Still relying on what the delta offers them, local residents haven't changed their lifestyle. They still build houses from reeds, and you can still see them on small wooden boats with a fishing rod in their hands.
7. Old Wine Route
Considering geographical position, Romania has a very long history of wine production. Both archaeological and historical evidence suggests that vineyards have been growing in the region for at least 2,700 years. Some historians even say that the Greek god of wine, Dionysus, and his Roman counterpart, Bacchus, were the prototypes of the Thracian and Dacian God Sabazios. To this day, Romania is the 13th largest wine producer in the world and the sixth largest in the EU.
Only a relatively small region in the center of the country due to its high altitude not suitable for wine production. However, there are more than 250 wine cellars throughout the country that can be visited all year round. However best time for this purpose - from April to October. The Old Wine Route runs along the southern and southeastern side of the Carpathian Mountains past numerous vineyards, estates, monasteries, wine museums and others historical places. But this is by no means the only place where you can down a large glass of wine, as wine tasting is a must for every tourist (who can enjoy the advantage of his age) when visiting Romania.
6. Mountain Dacian fortresses
To get acquainted with the ancient past of Romania, the best way is to climb high into the mountains. Sarmizegetusa Regia was the capital of the Dacians, who inhabited the area during the Roman Empire. Built around the 1st century BC, this fortress, along with five others in the area, acted as the seat of the Dacian Kingdom, as well as a unique defensive system that was used in the wars against the Romans. The main fortress is also the largest and consists of three parts: the defensive structure itself, the civilian quarters and the sanctuary. This sacred place was built on two terraces and was dedicated to local deities. The Great Sanctuary is a circular structure, somewhat reminiscent of Stonehenge, and served as both a ritual site and an astronomical calendar.
Today, despite the fact that all six fortresses have become nothing more than ruins, each of them is unique in its own way, either for its purpose or for its inaccessible location. Legend also says that somewhere in these mountains the last Dacian king buried a huge treasure. Before the arrival of the Romans, he temporarily diverted the river from its usual course and hid the treasure at the bottom. But before you decide to find the treasure, know that the legend also speaks of a curse. Anyone who goes in search of the hidden treasure will be bitten by a poisonous snake and die.
5. City of Sighisoara
In the heart of Transylvania is the city of Sighisoara. Although settlement has existed in the area since Roman times, the city as we know it today was founded by the Transylvanian Saxons in the 13th century. The increasing economic power of Sighisoara during the 14th and 15th centuries ensured the city's survival for centuries as one of the "seven fortress citadels of the Saxons". And although Sighisoara was neither the richest nor the largest of the seven, it has recently become the most popular. Today the city is famous for its colorful architecture, cobbled alleys, steep staircases, numerous defensive towers and turrets, medieval churches and the main citadel itself.
Only nine of the fourteen towers originally built managed to survive the test of time. Each of them was built and maintained by one of the artisan guilds located in the city. One more interesting fact This is the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the infamous ruler of Wallachia and the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. The house in which he lived until he was six or seven years old still exists and can be visited.
4. Danube gorges
Nowhere along its 2,864 kilometer length is the Danube River more impressive and mesmerizing than where it passes through the Carpathian Mountains. Forming a natural border between Romania and Serbia, the gorges, also known as the Danube Cauldrons, sometimes give the impression that the water here is boiling. But even if this is not the case, the narrowing in this place mighty river From time to time creates certain problems for navigation. However, it is the largest and oldest river canyon in Europe.
In addition to taking a boat cruise on the Danube, you can climb the surrounding mountains and enjoy the breathtaking views. You can also explore the many caves found here, which in ancient times were used either as safe shelters or as moorings for boats sailing up and down the river. And as proof that this place is steeped in history, on the Serbian shore there is an ancient plaque commissioned by the Roman Emperor Trajan to commemorate the construction of the bridge used by the Roman legions to invade Dacia. And on the Romanian coast, right in the rock, a stone face 55 meters high is carved, depicting the last Dacian king. This is the largest statue of its kind in Europe.
3. Monasteries of Bukovina
The northeastern region of Romania is proud of its many monasteries. Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, these medieval churches are unique in Europe and are famous for their exterior frescoes. These monasteries, built in a combination of Gothic and Byzantine architectural styles, which also include their unique elements, are an immortal cultural world heritage. Each of the 40 monasteries and churches is said to have been built by order of the sovereign Stefan cel Mare and his successor Petru Rares after various victories won in battles with the Tatar invaders from the east.
Most of them also acted as fortifications against marauders, protecting both people and ancient manuscripts. Eight of the monasteries are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Apart from their architecture, these monasteries also stand out for their unique colors used for wall paintings. Since then, the original recipes have been lost and cannot be recreated even with modern technology. However, according to chemical analysis, traces of traditional Romanian plum cognac were found in both the plaster and the paints themselves.
2. Turda Gorge and Salt Mine
Back in the time of the dinosaurs most of modern Romania was part of an ancient seabed. Because of this, some regions are rich in salt deposits, such as Central Transylvania. Here is the Turda Gorge and the Salt Mine. The outer gorges offer breathtaking views of narrow vertical cliffs, waterfalls, caves, dense forests, sunny meadows and picturesque villages. It is home to more than 1,000 species of plants and animals, many of which are endangered. This area is a favorite place for hiking with more than 250 climbing routes of varying difficulty.
The dungeon is no less impressive than the above-ground landscape. Since Roman times, salt deposits have been constantly exploited. Today they are open to the public, and offer their visitors to descend to incredible depths. The soaring galleries, somewhat fitting the descriptions found in Tolkien's books, are now illuminated, making them mesmerizing. They're waiting for you inside various events, which you can enjoy, such as mini golf, tennis, bowling, football or swimming pool. There is also a large Ferris wheel that takes visitors close to the top of the mine to see the many stalactites up close. One of the many galleries also has a huge underground lake where you can take a relaxing boat ride.
1. Dracula's Castle
Bran Castle owes much of its fame to the myth created around Bram Stoker's Dracula. Perched on a 60m high cliff, this castle was built by the Transylvanian Saxons in the 15th century on the site former fortress Teutonic Order 1100s. And although Stoker never visited Transylvania, he imagined Dracula's castle based on descriptions of this particular fortress. And since this place is associated with blood-sucking vampires, it is worth visiting. Interestingly, there is also a connection between the castle and the infamous Vlad the Impaler, Lord of Wallachia.
Bran Castle is located right at the entrance to the mountain pass that connects the historical regions of Transylvania and Wallachia. Even in the Middle Ages, it played the role of customs, imposing high duties on Romanians who wanted to do business with the then Saxon city of Brasov. This led to relations between Vlad the Impaler and the Lords of Bran becoming tense, to say the least. Whether the Wallachian ruler ever captured the castle is unknown, but he was imprisoned here for two months after being captured by the Hungarian king in 1462.
Those who visit this mythical castle should also consider visiting other medieval towns and fortresses in the region, including the city of Brasov. The pass that lies at the base of Bran Castle should not be ignored either. There are several caves here that were regularly used by both outlaws and prehistoric animals such as the extinct cave bears. From the neighboring village of Pestera (cave) there is a truly amazing view of both the majestic Carpathian mountains, and on the lives of people in those days when “vampires” still roamed this earth.
Romania will forever be associated in people's minds with mystery and mysticism, and all thanks to Stoker's Count Dracula. However, in Romania there are other mysterious places that are no less interesting for lovers of mysticism. We invite you to travel around Romania and learn about the two most famous places.
Witch Lake
Not far from Bucharest, in a mysterious forest there is a lake, which for many centuries has been called only the Witch’s. The lake has several strange features. So, it always has a depth of one and a half meters, regardless of drought or heavy rains. Animals prefer to avoid the lake and do not drink from it, and neither birds nor frogs settle on its shores.
Pregnant women are not advised to go near the lake as it may cause miscarriage. The lake attracts sorcerers and witches to perform their sinister rituals, as it is considered the source of the power required for this. After the sun goes down, mysterious figures can be seen near the lake, performing actions that are undoubtedly of an occult nature.
In most cases, the sorcerers and witches performing their rituals here are so focused that they are not distracted by random witnesses, but still few risk attracting the attention of those communicating with dark forces.
Dracula's Castle
Located in the north-west of the country, Dracula's castle is one of the most remarkable and mysterious places Romania. Despite the fact that Transylvania has been considered the habitat of vampires for centuries, its popularity, along with the fame that befell Dracula, was brought by Bram Stoker's novel written at the end of the nineteenth century. The image of Dracula he created became canonical, almost becoming an archetype.
It is now almost impossible to imagine another Dracula, and he himself has become the most striking embodiment of the vampire. Bram Stoker took the name for his character from Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler, who ruled Wallachia, a land located in modern-day Romania. The reason why Vlad III became a vampire in popular rumor is his extreme, sophisticated cruelty. His nickname Tepes - "impaler" - fully reflects his favorite method of execution. Another nickname is “Dracul”, that is, “dragon”, he inherited from his father along with membership in the knightly Order of the Dragon.
It was said about Tepes that he loved to kill for fun and washed his body with blood. The foreign ambassadors who refused to remove their caps to him regretted it when he ordered their caps to be nailed to their heads. The fight against poverty in Dracula's mind looked like this: gather all the poor, feed them, and then burn them. Tepes did not abandon his hobby even after being captured.
He caught birds flying up to the window and put them on stakes made from wood chips. Among other things, Vlad the Impaler changed his faith, which, according to popular belief, was another reason that made him a restless bloodsucker after his death. While writing the novel, Bram Stoker studied the available books about the princes of Moldavia and Wallachia, as well as all the information available to him about Vlad the Impaler himself.
Stoker indicated his place of residence as a castle in Transylvania, while in reality Vlad Tepes lived in the capital of Wallachia, Targovishte. The reason for this literary migration is believed to be that Stoker learned about Bran Castle, where Tepes often stayed while hunting. This castle is located in Transylvania, near deep gorge. All this led to the fact that Bran Castle began to be considered Dracula's castle.

Witch Lake
wikipedia.orgNot far from the capital of Romania, deep in the Boldu-Creteasca forest, there is a small pond. At first glance, he is unremarkable. Very small, only 1.5 meters deep, which, however, remains unchanged in the summer heat and during the seasonal rains.
smileplanet.ru The most interesting thing is that the local residents of Romania have never seen animals come here to drink. And in the lake itself there are no fish or other aquatic inhabitants.
Animals are repelled by a toxic substance in the lake or gas sources at the bottom. But other mystical events also take place near the reservoir.

Merry Cemetery of Romania
byebye-americanpie.blogspot.ru This is probably the most unusual cemetery in the whole world. And it’s not all about legends about ghosts and lost souls. Sinister occult rituals are not carried out here either. Why does this place attract tourists so much?
quirkyberkeley.com It’s all about designing the “last refuge” of the deceased. There are no majestic crosses or mournful statues that forever mourn the dead. Quite the opposite. Each tombstone shines with bright colors, and instead of posthumous epitaphs, satirical poems are written on them. Sometimes even on the graves there are pictures illustrating events from the life of the “inhabitants”.

Nowadays, tourists come here to see the place where the legendary Dracula lived, albeit for a short time. Or maybe they hope to someday meet him in the dark castle dungeons?
Secrets of the forest of Hoya Baciu
hdwallsbox.com In the age of the development of science, it would be strange if a person trying to find unusual and mystical manifestations in life limited his research to only ancient legends and stories that have come down to us from the depths of the Middle Ages.
wallpaperup.com Since humanity was able to tear itself away from the earth and turned its gaze into space, a theory began to emerge that there are other living beings in the Universe that can be far superior in development to earthly civilization. And, of course, after some time, eyewitnesses appeared who said that they had seen unknown flying objects and even the aliens themselves. There were even places where such contacts occurred quite often. One of them is the mysterious forest of Hoya Baciu. Many tourists come here hoping to see visitors from distant space.
pre-tend.com But the strangeness of this place does not end there. Other strange phenomena occur here: people disappear, lose their memory, or become ill with unknown diseases.

All these oddities, however, do not stop crowds of travelers from flocking here in search of unknown wonders.
Museum of "living" stones
i2.wp.com Rocks are usually not any noteworthy objects for travelers. The exception is stone sculptures and structures.
But in Romania, even these everyday objects have strange and even mystical properties. They can grow, move and even reproduce!
tripfreakz.com And if the first property can be attributed to an unusual composition, which includes mineral salts that absorb moisture and expand under its influence, then reproduction is a property inherent only to living organisms. Is it possible that there is another, inorganic form of life on our planet? So far, scientists remain silent. But every tourist can come to Romania and admire the tromantes (the so-called “living” stones), which are located in the museum of the village of Costesti.
Shrouded in mystery, Romania never ceases to attract tourists. And even if you suddenly don’t manage to see something mystical with your own eyes, she will forever remain in memory as one of the most magnificent countries peace.
