The Transfãgărășan, one of the most spectacular roads in Europe, which winds its way through the Carpathian Mountains, is particularly popular with motorhome travellers. The route offers breathtaking views of rugged peaks, deep blue lakes and lush forests. The Carpathians are a true paradise for nature lovers: Here you can hike, climb, cycle or simply enjoy the peace and quiet in many places. Romania's historic cities, such as Sibiu, Brașov and Sighisoara, are also worth a visit. With their well-preserved medieval town centres, colourful houses and charming alleyways, they offer a fascinating insight into the country's past. And of course, a visit to Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is a must. The city combines historic buildings with modern architecture and offers a lively nightlife. Wild camping is permitted in many regions of Romania - even with a motorhome - which adds to the freedom of travelling. As fewer and fewer countries allow wild camping with a campervan, Romania is now an exception in this case. However, you should inform yourself in advance about the applicable rules in order to protect nature. For example, wild camping is prohibited in national parks and nature reserves. Romanian cuisine is varied and flavoursome, with influences from Turkish, Hungarian and Slavic cuisine. Traditional dishes such as sarmale (stuffed cabbage leaves) and mici (grilled meat rolls) are particularly recommended.
