Travel Ideas #4: In the Footsteps of Heritage through Oltenia, Banat, and the Apuseni Lands
For history enthusiasts, this journey into Romania's fascinating past is a true delight. Starting from Muntenia and continuing through Oltenia toward Transylvania, you'll discover not only imposing buildings but an entire historical legacy filled with stories and legends passed down through centuries.

Along your route, you'll encounter cultural landmarks included in five of the Attractive Romania program's thematic trails:
  • Route of Fortresses
  • Route of Castles
  • Route of Kulas
  • Route of traditional Romanian gastronomy
  • Route of Roman castra

Follow in the footsteps of knights through majestic castles, witness the contrast of aristocratic life in the cule—homes that turned into fortresses at the first sign of danger—uncover Romania’s hidden fortresses, and walk among the Roman camps nestled in the heart of ancient Dacia.

Along the way, take time to enjoy the Romanian culinary landscape. You’ll find recipes rich in flavor and storytellers eager to share a tale.
