Book A Cultural Romania Walking Tour: Painted Monasteries, Transylvania and the Danube Delta
The mountains of Transylvania and the deep forests which surround the Orthodox painted monasteries in Bucovina largely escaped the ravages of the Ceausescu era. Remote and tranquil, these areas offer travellers an experience now very rare in western Europe - exploring on foot a landscape barely changed since the Middle Ages. In early summer the mountain meadows are filled with wildflowers, including swathes of orchids, and horses and carts are carrying hay from first light.
