On this tour we’ll visit some of the most picturesque regions of Romania where an abundance of people, architecture, landscape, food, animal and other photo opportunities abound.

After a short glimpse of Bucharest, we’ll make our way to the region of Maramures, one of the last truly rural areas in Europe. Assuming normal weather conditions we’ve timed our trip to put us in this unique part of the country during the “hay harvest” so that we’ll be able to see the locals, young and old, cutting hay with a scythe, piling haystacks many meters high, and transporting the final product by horse drawn carts as has been done for centuries.

From Maramures we’ll cross the Carpathian Mountains into Bucovina. In this region we’ll visit the world famous painted monasteries in Moldovita and Sucevita and discover the art of meticulously hand-painting eggs. The hills and winding roads of Bucovina offer breathtaking landscapes and are a great place to view and photograph the beginning and end of the day, and we’ll be sure you have several opportunities to do just that.

Next we’ll explore the often-misunderstood region of Transylvania, where we’ll find charming medieval towns and villages such as Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu and Viscri. If we can arrange it, a highlight of this area will be a chance to visit the simple hamlet of a working shepherd and his family, high up in the mountains at the time when they’re herding and milking the sheep. At the end of our visit we’ll have an opportunity to taste some of their delicious homemade cheese and milk products, right on site.

Finally we’ll wind down our tour by spending time in a pleasant hotel set among some of Romania’s most beautiful nature. This area is surrounded by imposing mountains, rolling hills, lush forests, endless haystacks, grazing animals and people of all ages working the fields. You’ll have plenty of free time to explore this area on your own and as a group.

Join me for a unique trip filled with beauty and impressive photo opportunities in Rustic and Rural Romania!
