Visit Romania!

Wow, 31 pages of Romania! If the board of tourism isn't paying you, that is a travesty. Those salt mine pictures on page one must have inspired some Baldur's Gate locations for sure.

Thank you Septen.

Unfortunately no, just a hobby project.

This year this thread will turn 10 years old!

Nope. Transylvania.

Oradea, to be more exact.

A real jewel of a city, recently renovated, the historical buildings put to good use to promote both the city and Romania.

Been a while and I forgot to outline this - but this thread is over 10 years old now. Thank you to everyone who viewed this over time, and once tourism is open for everyone, don't forget to Visit Romania!

Awesome dedication, man! Really makes me want to visit now that the world is getting a bit more normal.

**Basileos Leandros I** · July 03, 2021, 07:22 PM

Thank you Septentrionalis, much appreciated.

Been 10 years, I'm quite surprised myself, I remember working quite a lot to craft that original post. Shame the pictures aren't there any more due to hosting issues.

Winter time in Romania is a spectacular journey, particularly if you're up in the mountains or in the north where it's snowing most of the time. In the south - Bucharest especially - snow is hard to come by due to various climate changes, but back in the 1930's up until 1970, even the south got an enormous amount of snow.

Here's the steam train - also known as Mocanita - chugging along through the snow & forest.

A beautiful video outlined by the famous Kings & Generals YouTube channel about the Battle of Calugareni in 1595, an important moment in Romanian history & medieval history as well.

I wanted to do a little update with some wonderful Romanian traditional music, which is a bit more related to the northern and north-eastern side of Romania - specifically Moldova and Bucovina (Bukovina).
