Breathtaking landscapes

Romania provides beautiful views that will stay etched in your memory, from alpine ranges to tranquil lakes and dramatic canyons. After all, it is Europe's most biogeographically diversified country.

The Transylvanian Alps, which are part of the Carpathians, are not only beautiful, but they're also great for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and even visiting an ethical bear sanctuary where you can see rescued bears enjoying the closest thing to freedom in their native habitat.

With so many mountains, there are many of lakes, some of which are rather distinctive, such as Lacul Roșu (Red Lake), a natural dam lake constructed over 200 years ago following a huge landslide in Harghita County.

The magnificent undulating hills of Bucovina, further north, are a fantasy of what a perfect pastoral scene might seem like in everyone's mind. In the autumn, the unspoilt Romanian woodlands put on a spectacular display of reds, yellows, and oranges.
