Dating from 13th century and made from stone, this is a church about I learned in highschool history class, so it was on my bucket list. It is a calm and serene place and it is called St. Nicholas church. It is situated in Densus village and the road to it is very beautiful also. I arrived after 18:00 and I found the church closed, I could'nt get inside, and also we two were the only one in the church's court (which is a graveyard)...spooky :))

This is a place you need to see. The capital of Dacia, it was an important spiritual center. Here you can even see the first paved road, many temple ruins and sacrificial tables.

Cetatea de Colţ is one of those places in Romania that I like to write: hidden, unusual, charming and ... mysterious. It lies at the heart of the fascinating stories of Radu Gorj and Orfanik from Jules Verne's Carpathian Castle. And if you remember from the childhood marked by the great writer's novels, the description of the Jiu and Haţeg Valley, the Petroşani Depression and the Transylvanian Alps, that's the place!

When you go to Romania, one of the main things you want to see are their castles. We visited three of their castles, and Hunedoara Castle or also called Corvin Castle was by far the best of the three. (See my other reviews of the other two, Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) and Peles Castle.) Welcome to Transylvania! Corvin Castle starts out wonderfully exciting with your first glimpse of the outside of this great Medieval Castle with all of the bells and whistles one would describe of it's architecture and stonework. Before you go inside, take a great picture with the Castle behind you. I just loved roaming around every space here, large and small, up and down, everywhere we looked, was an interesting adventure. It really is a great example of what you want to see when you explore a Medieval Castle. We really took some great pictures. Some of the spots are a little difficult with the lighting, but we managed anyway. Don't miss this one, you will love it.

Carefully restored; in very good condition. Easily accessible. I recommend it as a starting point before exploring the surroundings: here you will find a very nice lady guide, who will give you practical advice on what to visit; she seems to "read" what will you like based on what hiking equipment and what shoes you wear (:D); her advice helped us have 2 excellent days in nearby

The Strei Church is located on E79 / DN66 road, at a distance of 20 km from Hateg and 14 km from Simeria. Strei is one of the oldest churches in Romania, being built on the site of a Romanian "villa rustica", its annexes being still visible. Founded by the Ambrose novel, the Strei Church was built at the end of the 13th century, the first attestation of the church taking place in 1392.

The church is located in Strei village, at approximately 14 kilometers from Simeria on DN 66. The road sign towards the church is located at a curve, so you've got to be careful not to miss it. The church was built in the middle of the village cemetery. The church was built using stone, on top of a roman "villa rustica". The foundations of the roman villa are still visible. The church can be visited during the week (the contact number is posted on the entrance door).

Must do while in Deva! An old citadell build on a volcanic hill, which gives you a great overview on the city. Very nice rehabilitation works which struggle to introduce this objective into the great league of tourism. Interesting view, nice place for a sunset, beautiful place to go downhill with a bike.
