Wild and Authentic Carphatia

[Irishcoffee]

It's the second time we had the ambition to circle arround during a 10 days tough journey 5 of the most remote but unspoiled natural reserves and communities in my country.
The entire tour was strechted along 5.000 km and even if we visit again many unspotted sights were catched on camera.
Bellow Some pics (100% Romania aka The Land of Dracula") which some were tooken from the Jk.
...Enisala/Heracleea Fortress...

... Conquered....

... we crossed the Carphatian Mountains using a old Roman road which is used also in these days ...

... up there we enjoyed the views...

More 2 come!

... speaking about Dracula....last yellow house on the right before the big tower was frequently visited by the Count Dracula (view from main square in Sighisoara Medieval City during the yearly medieval festival was on our travel map); the same house also today after hundreds of years hosts one of the best traditional restaurants in the medieval city.....

..but let's return up where almost any sign of civilisation is lost.....so a U-turn...

..cattle houses in very remote and jeep accesible locations.....

..stoping by to smell some snow roses (very rare)....during their bloom....

...Up here you can see the Romanian Sfinx...

...another huge playground .....to explore up here

....anothe distant ...yellow detonator spot....when we conqered another fortress.....

..... next pics I will be silent cause comments I believe are useless...

....cattle houses...

...another world....lost between the Carphatian Moutain Chain............

...our JK Diesel was to noisy and sometimes I need to stop the engine to enjoy the tranquility....

...and the collors....

...or the nature & man made shapes.....

more water world & seasons pics 2 come ???
