Sibiu , Hermannstadt - The City's Eyes

Sibiu is a city in Transylvania, Romania

Sibiu is the symbol of a deep and abiding culture that has stood the test of centuries. Labyrinth of stones and secrets, lights and shades, the old town shows stories of the time passing and where the time seems to have stopped as well.

The old Sibiu possesses much of its erstwhile charm, a character carefully preserved, hopefully for posterity.

“Enchanting picturesque” would be the words to describe the special aura which emanates from Sibiu. The tiled roofs with odd angles ventilation slats watching the town creates an eerie very unique impression.

Forgotten Roads - Tabla Buţii

 Don't come after

Ask the mountains 

 Why couldn't this go on?

 Couldn't our happiness go on?

Ask the sun that lightens up the sky

Ask the mountains

Ask the green in the woods and the trees

Ask the mountains

 Why couldn't this go on?

Couldn't our happiness go on?

 Ask the mountains

Wild woods, highlands



 Don't come after

 Please don't follow me along

When you read this I'll be gone

lyrics / ASK THE MOUNTAINS/ Vangelis

Tabla Buţii is a "pass" - an alpine passage at the height of 1340m, in the Curvature Carpathians.

The link through this thoroughfare was always made between the Southern Carpathians towards Muntenia and the interior bend of the Carpathians's curvature to the North - West through Ţara Bârsei with Transylvania.

This pathway is easily accessible thanks to the landscape - not very hilly, being the shortest way between Transylvania towards the Occident and the Danube's exits to the Black Sea, towards Levant.

 Tabla Buţii spot is the summit, the peak between the Valley of the Teleajen that rises from Muntenia and the origins of Buzău in the Ciucaş Massif towards Transylvania.

The name of Tabla Buţii comes from the printed "tables" - applied in the past on the barrells filled with merchandise during customs, because there was a custom between Ţara Românească and Transylvania.

Viscri, Transylvania and HRH The Prince of Wales

This post was made in case you thought there

was nothing to be done in and around Romania.

Visiting Viscri, in central Romania, is like journeying into the past —

 to a medieval landscape and existence that has been bypassed by all things modern.

The village of Viscri (German: Deutschweißkirch is part of Buneşti commune in Romania.

The village is small, with a population of roughly 400 people and  is part of the Saxon villages

with fortified churches in Transylvania ( the name "Transylvania" is Latin for "Beyond the Forest") , designated in 1993 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

In 2006, The Prince of Wales bought and restored two 18th Century Saxon houses

 in the Transylvanian villages of Malancrav and Viscri

to help protect the unique way of life that has existed

for hundreds of years and promote sustainable tourism.

His Royal Highness , Charles - The Prince of Wales  has a long-standing interest in Romania and has visited the country

regularly since his first visit in 1998.
