The coming of autumn is not the end of the world! You can still plan a weekend outing or even a holiday in the country. Unfortunately, when referring to vacations, we usually choose one of the traditional destinations: Mamaia, Costinesti, Sinaia, Brasov. Of course all these are wonderful places, but there are also several underrated tourist objectives. Therefore, today we talk about the top 5 most beautiful unknown destinations in Romania.
1. Between Otelul Rosu and Caras-Severin, you and your loved one can find an idyllic corner. The Tunnel of Love has frequently been attributed to Ukraine, but although a similar place does indeed exist in our neighbouring country, this destination can be found on Romanian land, 10 km away from Caraseverin.
2. Having gained a rather unfortunate popularity lately due to the scandal with the wild horses that inhabit it, Letea Forest in Tulcea county is the second beautiful unknown destination in our top. In a heavenly landscape, among ash-trees, scented linden and orchids, peacefully live dozens of species of birds (eagles, woodpeckers, falcons) and 2500 wild horses – who have fortunately been saved.
3. Soveja was first attested in 17th century documents. Today, the town in Vrances, with its 2000 inhabitants, represents a unique place in Europe. Soveja has gained its reputation as the resort with the highest level of ozone on the continent.
4. Part of the Cheile Nerei National Park, Bigar Falls is another beautiful vacation alternative. Counted among the most beautiful cascades in the world according to World Geography, Bigar attracts thousands of foreign visitors every year, while remaining surprisingly virtually unknown among Romanians.
5. In a spectacular mountainous landscape, the Oravita-Anina Railroad, dating back to 1863, equals the more famous Mocanita in Maramures in beauty.
We warmly encourage you to explore these top 5 most beautiful unknown destinations in Romania anytime. If you have no transportation means available, you can always rent a car and travel throughout the country.
