1. Located in the lush foothills of the Carpathian Mountains near Zărnești, the Libearty Bear Sanctuary is the largest brown bear sanctuary in the world. It is not a zoo, but a lush, 69-hectare forest dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of bears that have suffered from captivity and mistreatment. Founded by the Millions of Friends Association, the sanctuary provides a natural, peaceful life for over 100 bears rescued from tiny cages, circuses, or illegal private ownership. The bears live in massive, fenced-in forested enclosures with pools for bathing, trees for climbing, and plenty of space to roam—often for the first time in their lives.

2. Bran Castle, often referred to as "Dracula's Castle," is a historic fortress located in Romania, near the town of Bran, on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. The castle is perched atop a rocky hill and surrounded by thick forests, giving it a dramatic and imposing appearance. Built in the 14th century, the castle served as a strategic defense point against invading forces, including the Ottoman Empire. The architecture of Bran Castle is a mix of medieval and Gothic styles, with its tall towers, narrow staircases, and labyrinth-like corridors. It has 57 rooms, including a secret passage that adds to its mysterious aura. Despite its popular association with Bram Stoker's fictional Dracula, there is no evidence that Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure who inspired the character, ever lived there.

About Bukarest

Der gewaltige Parlamentspalast, eines der größten Verwaltungsgebäude der Welt, beherrscht das Zentrum als auffälliges Erbe der Ceaușescu-Ära. Die Calea Victoriei, die große Avenue, führt an der kuppelgekrönten Konzerthalle des Rumänischen Athenäums, dem ehemaligen Königspalast mit dem Nationalen Kunstmuseum und dem Platz der Revolution vorbei, wo sich die Ereignisse von 1989 abspielten.
