Trip To Transylvania: From Alpine Pursuits To The Legend Of Dracula!

Romania is alone in the European Union in still having some functioning medieval landscapes which have great cultural, social and environmental significance but are struggling economically. The challenge is to preserve the unique mountain landscape while opening it up for use by visitors in a way that respects and protects the villages and the traditional way of life.
