Transylvania

Cradled in the center of the heavily-wooded Carpathian Mountains, Transylvania is a land of enchantments. Rolling hills and lazy rivers, deep woods and rushing creeks, pristine mountain lakes and wildflower meadows offer a gorgeous backdrop to medieval castles, walled cities, and quaint villages. We sometimes refer to my homeland as Tündérország — “Fairyland.”

Yes, Transylvania is my homeland, the place I grew up in and still visit often. These posts reflect my intimate knowledge of the land and its people, knowledge based not only on my observations from my formative years, but also on multiple visits in the past three decades, since I moved away.
