What to do and see in Transylvania, Romania: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

October 10, 2021 Natalie Tallman

Transylvania is a historical region in today's central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.

Buffogo Swamp

Reviewed By InaG288

We did the whole Stinky Mountain circuit: Stinky Cave, Bird Cemetery, Death Cave, and Buffogo Swamp. It is a fairy tale landscape. We went in winter, so everything was covered in snow, but I am sure it is even more beautiful in summer time. The spring waters which permanently makes bubbles and never freezes is very cool

Fortress of Ponor

Reviewed By MeA18 - Paris, France

We went up on a very rainy day, and there was no problem, just make sure you're adequately equipped, because the track is not so easy, although doable by everybody. It was the most wonderful landscape we had ever seen. We also went inside the cave with headlamps, which was unforgettable (we recommend to do it with experienced people and water boots). As the site has been kept as it is, in its most natural way, you won't find any restaurant/bar in the national park, so make sure you bring your own food and drinks.

La Prapastii Zarnesti

Reviewed By Jazzumbo - Campulung, Romania

Part of the hike from Zarnesti to Curmatura chalet, Zarnesti gorges (Prapastiile Zarnesti) are quite spectacular. They tend to be very busy over the weekends, especially during summertime. The trail follows the stream through the gorges for a few kilometres. It's a good activity for a hot summer day, as the trail is shaded by tall rocks. During summertime, the hikers need to pay an entrance fee (5 lei, about 1 Euro).
