SARMALE
Sarmale is a traditional Rumanian dish, which
is eaten for Christmas.
Minced meat(usually beef, pork, veal), rice,
onions salt pepper and local herbs, are mixed
together and then rolled into large leaves,
which usually are wine leaves. The
combination is then boiled for several hours;
the best cooking method is slow boiling in
large clay pots.
SARMIZEGETUSA REGIA
Sarmizegetusa Regia
was the capital and the most important military,
religious and political center of Dacia. Erected on top of
a 1,200 meter high mountain, the fortress was the core
of the strategic defensive system in the Orăştie
Mountains (in present-day Romania), comprising six
citadels. Sarmizegetusa Regia was the capital of Dacia
before the wars against the Roman Empire.
The Dacian capital’s defensive system included Six
Dacian fortresses — Sarmizegetusa, Blidaru, Piatra
Roşie, Costeşti, Căpâlna and Băniţa. Today, these are
UNESCO World heritage sites.
CHEILE TURZIL
Cheile Turzii is a natural reserve (on Hășdate River)
situated 6 km west of Turda and about 15 km southeast of Cluj-Napoca, in Transylvania, Romania.
The canyon, formed through the erosion of the jurasic
calcar of the mountain, is 2 900 m long and the walls
are over 300 mt high. Cheile Turzii features one of the
richest and most scenic landscapes in Romania. More
than 1000 plants and animal species (some of them
rare or endangered, like the wild garlic or some species
of eagle) live here.
CASTEL BRAN
Castle Bran situated near Bran and very close to
Braşov, is a national monument and landmark in
Romania. The fortress is situated on the border
between Transylvania and Wallachia. Commonly
known as "Dracula's Castle" , it is marketed as the
home of the main character in Bram Stoker's
Dracula. The castle is now a museum open to
tourists, displaying art and furniture collected by
Queen Marie. At the bottom of the hill is a small
open air museum park exhibiting traditional
Romanian peasant structures (cottages, barns,
etc.) from all over the country.
