Transylvania
conjures a vivid landscape of mountains, castles, fortified churches
and superstitious old crones. The Carpathian Mountains are truly
spectacular and outdoor enthusiasts can choose from caving in the
Apuseni range, rock climbing at Piatra Craiului National Park,
biking atop the flat Bucegi plateau, or hiking the Făgăraş. The skiing
scene, particularly in the Bucegi Mountains, is a great draw, while
well-beaten paths up to Bran and Peleş Castles are also worth the crowds.
A melange of architecture and chic sidewalk cafes punctuate the towns of Braşov, Sighişoara
and Sibiu, while the vibrant student town Cluj-Napoca has the country’s
most vigorous nightlife. Many of southern Transylvania’s Saxon
villages are dotted with fortified churches that date back half a
millennium. An hour north, in Székely Land, ethnic Hungarian
communities are the majority. Throughout you’re likely to spot many
Roma villagers – look out for black cowboy hats and rich red dresses.
