The Carpathian Mountains occupy one-third of Romania's territory. At roughly 1,500 km long, they are the third-longest European mountain range. The highest peaks in the Carpathians are in the Tatra Mountains, exceeding 2,600 m, closely followed by those in the Southern Carpathians in Romania, exceeding 2,550 m.

Driven by vampire lore and mystery appeal, Transylvania has become Romania’s most popular region for travellers. But legends aside, this magical land of castles, medieval bastions and old-world villages packs in a lot of charm. A paradise for nature and adventure seekers, the vast wilderness of the Carpathian Mountains preserves some of the last virgin forests in Europe and a simpler way of life. Hiking in Transylvania is like stepping into a fairy tale with the bonus of vampires. 😄: Stunning Natural Beauty, Epic Castles and Legends, less Crowded, more Authentic
(Compared to the Alps or Pyrenees, it's way quieter.)
