It's the second time we had the ambition to circle arround during a 10 days tough journey 5 of the most remote but unspoiled natural reserves and communities in my country.
The entire tour was strechted along 5.000 km and even if we visit again many unspotted sights were catched on camera.
Bellow Some pics (100% Romania aka The Land of Dracula") which some were tooken from the Jk.
...Enisala/Heracleea Fortress...

... Conquered....

... we crossed the Carphatian Mountains using a old Roman road which is used also in these days ...
