Thanks! Quite informative. I might just consider adding it to my Eastern European itinerary.

I see you mentioned the possibility of encountering brown bears in Romania. As a local, I have to admit I was a bit scared when I was a kid. But after starting to take tourists to bear watching activities in the wild, I learnt their behavior and now realize how wrong I was about them. They are very cautious wild animals and will try to avoid people if they can hear them before. So one important advice when you are hiking in Romania is to make noise. I don’t know, talk to each other or simply attach a small bell to your backpack.

One of the best times to visit Transylvania is on Halloween. There is a very funny party in Sighisoara citadel with magician’s shows, Vampire Killing show and a Ritual Killing of a Living Dead. Nothing scary just people enjoying a well-organized masquerade party with contests. Another one is Bran Castle Halloween Party, which is a club like atmosphere and the biggest in Romania

Awesome tips! Take it from someone who lived there for half his life! And by all means, #10 is something the locals need. Help them share the amazing Transylvania with the foreigners!
