'Transylvania is by far the most romantic and inspiring of Romania's provinces'- WHAT? 15/11/2011

So we were asked to find out a fact about Transylvania and according to Romania's tourism board Transylvania is:
"by far the most romantic and inspiring of Romania's provinces"
- not exactly what initially sprung to my mind either.

My more serious interesting fact is that Bran Castle in Transylvania (the region to the West of the Carpathians) is also known as Dracula's castle.

Here are some pretty pictures :)

Ooh and on one final note, they absolutely loved killing each other in Transylvania in the 14th century, Vlad Draul III's (Vlad the Impaler) older brother was buried alive. It sounds like they were all (well maybe not quite) as bad as each other. :S
