Romania
From mysterious castles to colourful villages
Romania: a surprising country full of nature, culture and charm
Romania was our first destination on our longer journey to Central Asia, and immediately a country that surprised us enormously. With our campervan and trailer we drove straight through the landscape, past castles that seem to come from fairy tales, colorful villages and endless nature. It felt like we kept discovering a new layer of the country: from medieval history to warm hospitality.
