Une caverne dans le Bihor
There are a considerable number of caverns in Romania, in all different ways of access, some public, some only reachable with a trained guide... this one is our first one. Public but with a guided tour.
Black Eagle Palace on Piata Unirii
Oradea et sa frontière
Oradea, aux confits nord-ouest de la Roumanie. Son passé austro-hongrois y est encore très présent. This city was in full swing of a restauration project when we came in June 2020.
Piața Unirii, Timișoara
Timișoara
Timișoara is a vibrant city and known to have triggered the spark of the Romanian Revolution in 1989.
Destination: Timișoara
On the way from town to town, one has to do some digging to not miss anything.. so on our road trip to Timișoara from Drobeta-Turnu Severin, here's our own pit stops.
Le Danube portion roumaine
The Danube is probably the European river who is crossing the most countries but it is in Romania that it ends it's journey. Here's where it lingers between Serbia and Romania.
Transfăgărășan
The most famous road in Romania. It was not constructed to be famous for tourism just one of the many obsessions of the dictator of the time, Nicolae Ceaușescu.
L’accessible Sibiu
Sibiu, the easy to love city. So laid back and for its well maintained and walkable historic center.
Sur la route vers Sibiu
My title is slightly misleading.. the Dacian site of Sarmizegetusa Regia is not technically on the direct road from Hunedoara to Sibiu. It is a detour in the mountains but so worth it.
À l’ouest de Sighișoara
From Sighișoara to Hunedoara, the trip is not long if you go directly but you will miss many sites. We did only a few, wanting to spend the mid-afternoon at Corvin Castle.
Plus de Transylvanie, Jour 2
Although one day is enough to stay in the old town of Sighișoara, the advantage of staying 2 nights is being able to explore a few local sites at a slower pace.
