Carta Monastery

Reviewed By ep-eml - Ploiesti, Romania

The Cistercian Abbey of Carta is placed in the Carta village. It can be easily reached from DN1 (Braşov - Sibiu) by following the indicators. The abbey is unique in Romania and the easternmost one in Europe. It was built around 1220 by Cistercian monks. You can visit the monastery ruins, which represent a really peaceful place. Between the old walls of the original church there is a small cemetery of German soldiers from the First World War. The choir from the original monastery is now transformed in a small but very nice church. In the nearby of the ruins there is a museum, an info point and a restaurant with good food and prices. Carta Cistercian Abbey is a must-see place when you visit Transylvania or Sibiu area.

Odorheiu Secuiesc

Reviewed By 184lupm - Romania, null

We decided to spend a vacation in Harghita county in Odorhei. We arrived and stayed at a beautiful pension, located 1.5 km from the city, in a wonderful place with orchard and a lot of peace - Pava Pension. After serving a delicious lunch we started our adventure. We visited the Mini Transilvania Park, where you can see all the fortresses, castles and churches in Transylvania in miniature, in the form of models. Superb works made with care and patience by real artists. Odorheiul Secuiesc is a small, clean and beautiful town full of welcoming people. If you are lucky enough to visit it, you will be pleasantly surprised to taste the traditional cuisine and to admire the wonderful places near the city.
