Transylvania has a lot to offer active tourists. From gentle walking trails, birdwatching, and fishing to more rigorous activities like backpacking, caving and mountain biking. Bordered to the south and east by the Carpathian mountain range, and encompassing the Apuseni Mountains in the west, the Transylvanian landscape incorporates a range of scenery from high alpine peaks, and rocky gorges to rich woodland, rolling wildflower meadows and river valleys where the majority of the cities and villages are found. Transylvania has a colorful history, filled with powerful and eccentric characters, tales of daring, and adventure. The diverse peoples and cultures found here provide visitors with a seemingly endless catalog of historical and cultural sites. Fortified churches, Ottoman carpets, antique markets, village museums, castles, fortresses and painted monasteries are but a few of the attractions awaiting you. Thanks to its tumultuous history and diverse peoples, Transylvania has rich and varied culinary traditions. Inquisitive eaters will find aspects of French, German, Slavic, Turkish and Italian cooking in the Transylvanian kitchen. At Savor Transylvania we think that the best way to learn about a culture is to get involved in it. For this reason our gastronomic outings and experiences are designed to engage you with the local foods and the people that produce them. The outings described below can be as in-depth or experiential as you would like. In addition to more traditional holiday activities, Savor Transylvania offers visitors the opportunity to engage with local communities through conservation and volunteer work. We have a wide range of NGO partners who help us develop and manage projects that are meaningful to visitors and locals alike. |
