Situated in the National Park of Nera, in South-Western Romania, Bei Eye Lake (Ochiul Beiului), also known as The Garden of Eden, it’s a lake of charming beauty with turquoise waters. Due to its warm waters, even during winter, the water doesn’t freeze and for this reason, the lake serves as a home for many migratory birds.

A very famous legend says that the lake is enchanted and that during The night of Sanziene (a well know Romanian popular celebration), the Iele, which are feminine mythical creatures in Romanian folklore, also known as fairies, they gather at the lake to bath and dance until dawn.

It is best to visit this place as there are other attractions in this beautiful natural park, such as Beușnița waterfalls (several waterfalls, one on top of the other), Bigar Waterfall (that was named the most beautiful waterfall in the world by the US site “The World Geography,” in a ranking of the most impressive waterfalls) or Văioaga waterfall.

We talked before about Letea Forest, the most northern subtropical forest in Europe, found in the Danube Delta. It is a magical landscape, with many climbing plants, at least 10 species of orchids and old trees with awkwardly wild shapes, rarely found in other places.

The Horses Waterfall, the highest waterfall in Romania with one of the most difficult canyons in the country, is located in Maramures region, near the National Park of Rodnei Mountains, in the Eastern Carpathians.

The name of the place comes from a legend, according to which a horse stallion was attacked by a bear during a storm on the edge of the plateau, and the frightened animals fell and died. The waterfall and its surroundings are considered one of the most beautiful places in Romania.

The Tunnel of Love is probably the most romantic destination handcrafted by mother nature and by the once passing trains. Nowadays, the place is an abandoned railway section and it’s hiding in a secluded forest in western Romania.

The capital of Dacia after its conquest by the Romans, the former Roman colony of Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa and the ruins of the ancient capital, Sarmizegetusa Regia are two of the most important landmarks of Romania, but still represent a hidden destination for foreign tourists.

At its peak, around 2000 years ago, the Sarmizegetusa Fortress was surrounded by walls of 500 x 600 meters and 33 hectares of land, with 80 hectares of the city outside the wall.

The Romans built a beautiful, blooming city with rustic villas, Roman farms, thermal baths, homes and many other buildings, whose ruins are still being brought to the light by archaeologists. Sarmizegetusa was the only Roman colony founded by the Emperor Traian, and it is estimated that only 5% of its ruins have been discovered so far.

As a colony, Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa had a privileged position, including “ius italicum”, a series of honorary rights and privileges that distinguished it from the other colonies on the territory of the great Roman Empire. It is a remarkable piece of history which should be on your top list of Romanian destinations.
