Harghita Travel Guide

Romania

#AboveItAll #Transylvania The Harghita Mountains is a volcanic mountain range located in Transylvania. It is part of the Inner Eastern Carpathians. This mountain range is the largest andesite mass in Europe. The tallest peak is the Madarasi Hargita (Harghita-Mădăraș) reaching 1801 metres above sea level.
'We continued to Izvoare, where we had a wildlife park tour booked. We were a little bit late, but our guide was very kind to wait for us. Our stroll in the snow was very nice and we saw several specimens of mouflon, roedeer, stag, and fallow deer. We even got to see tracks of hare and fox (as this is the only carnivore that can dig its way into this 300 ha privately-owned park). It is a must-see if in the area and you might be in for some unforgettable surprises! Like the one in the picture.'
Such a peaceful, serene place that we stumbled across in the mountains of Transylvania. Fir tree stumps can be seen poking up in the calm lake. #NationalPark
Salina Praid Salt Mine in Romania. After walking for ages down a multitude of steps into the centre of the earth (!!), we finally came to see this stunning blue beauty. The smell was pretty strong...like petrol, which I was told was how they used to extract the salt from the mines. #NationalPark
