Brasov is
situated in the central part of Romania being considered
the second most important town in the country.
Located 160 km from Bucharest, Rumania's capital, Brasov is
surrounded like a halo by the Carpathians.
Brasov's natural tourist potential is closely connected
with its relief since the nearest Eastern and Southern
Carpathians are able to satisfy the tastes and desires of
all tourists, who are longing to practice either winter' or
summer' sports. Three important resorts (Poiana Brasov,
Predeal, Sinaia) offer tourists a wide range of winter and
summer sports like skiing, snow boarding, driving
snowmobiles, swimming, climbing, tennis and roller skating.
The Prahova Valley in the Bucegi Massif (The Omu, the
highest peak 2507m elevation) is an unforgettable display
of nature which is worth seeing.
The landscape passes from the green of the rich flora in
the plain to the gray of the rocks then again to the
mountain's color. The mountains are covered by oak, beech,
fur and pine trees.
The Brasov County is home for wolves, brown bears, foxes,
lynxes, roebucks, stags, wild boars and hares.
Other places of interest: Bran (Bran Castle), Rasnov,
Harman, Prejmer, The Clearing of Narcissuses (near Fagaras
town), Poiana Marului.
With many facilities for winter and summer sports, nice and
cozy accommodation and very tasty cuisine, Brasov is one of
the best places to spend a holiday.
