We start in the Marginimea Sibiului
The Marginimea represents one of the richest Romanian area in traditions, even
though foreign visitors are often unaware of its attractions. It is situated at the
foot of the Cindrel Mountains, south-west of Sibiu, and the remains of a Dacian
fortress bear witness to a turbulent history. The Dacians inhabited Transylvania
long before the invasion of Roman legions in the second century, and they are said
to be associated with the Celts. Read below more on that topic.

valley, or to the jumping fish in the mountain lake of Gura Raului. You can visit
