Trip to the Carpathian Mountains

At the last weekend we`ve been to the Carpathian Mountains with 12 children of Vila Raluca, Vila Christina and Vila Marian. On Friday we visited mud volcanoes in an amazing landscape of hills and a wonderful coloured autumn forest.

 

On Saturday we went to see Bran Castle in Transilvania which, according to legend, was the home

of Dracula, but obviously the author never had visited this castle, because there`s not a shred of creepiness about it and it`s quite pathetic for such a big vampire.

On Sunday we made a very informative paperchase in Braşov which is a wonderful old city in the valley of the Carpathian Mountains. In the 13th century it was founded by fraters of the German Order and until the 19th century the population of Braşov had a quite high percentage of Germans.

It was a successful weekend trip with a well-chosen programme, although the drive was a little too curvy and dynamic ;))

...but the Kids enjoyed it anyway.
