Hint- Travel to Buzau

Bucharest Angel — Tue, 03 May 2011 21:03:06 +0000

We’ve recently learned about an area of Romania even few Romanians know about, although it’s filled with mysticism and it has plenty to offer in terms of history. The county of Buzau, north of Bucharest, is home to several cave churches dating back since immemorial times. The place is perfect for an off-road, off-the-map adventure, especially if you like the stories about the strange phenomena in the forests of Buzau. Travel Buzau organizes trips in the area. You might want to go there while you’re on one of the 1-day tours organized by City Compass and Travel Buzau. Read more about Athos of Romania here.

Photographer Eric Matson displays some very interesting photos of Romania and its “revolution” in 1989 and the early 1990′s on his website. Make sure you browse through it, as he has different categories of pictures about Romania!

Springtime is about to start and there are great areas for hiking not too far from Bucharest. A great time for a weekend escape from busy Bucharest. Get into nature after a long winter break and discover some amazing places in the countryside. I would like to introduce them one by one. So here is the list:

The classic and always crowded escape to Prahova Valley (Sinaia, Busteni, Predeal)
A little less crowded with some spectacular places and unbeatable panorama: Rucar-Bran corridor and Piatra Craiului
Remote and cozy: the mountains around Buzau
Easy to reach, great for hillwalking and hiking with children: Rusenski Lom National Park in Ruse county/Bulgaria
Walking and picnicking in Comana National Park

To be continued in my next post where I will introduce some great day hikes in Piatra Craiului area.
