TRUFFLES TOURISM Truffles tourism Transylvania has numerous truffles in its woods and hills. It is a nice experience to search the truffles in the woods with specialists, to be witness when a dog finds a truffle. Later, you can taste the truffles in different dishes at the medieval restaurant situated at the base of a medieval fortress (Biertan) or in a nice touristic pension in a remote village (Crit).

WINES OF TRANSYLVANIA Romanian wines The local wine cellars in Transylvania offer a wide variety of wines. Romania, with its approximately 250.000 ha of grapes is classified among the first 10 world wine producers. A modern process allows the production of great wines with classic and local grapes. Their qualities were recognized at wine tastings and world contests. Or would you prefer a selection of local brandy (plum brandy or other)?

Wild routes and wild animals of the Carpathians LANDSCAPE Wild routes and wild animals of the Carpathians In the woods of Transylvania, there is the largest populations of brown bears and wolves from the entire Europe. Throughout the wild routes we can see different animal tracks or really see bears in their natural environment. A good snack on top of the mountain, a goulash served near a bonfire at the foot of the mountain. Or a visit at an impressive salt mine followed by a folkloric show.

OTHER IDEAS, OTHER REGIONS… Many people talk about Dracula and the castle in Bran … private dinners and events can be organized in Dracula’s Castle! Or, why not an exclusive palace? The Meridional Carpathians and Brasov area offer many possibilities of outdoor activities, including: rafting 4x4 (jeep tours) adventure park caves exploration Poiana Brasov mountain resort is a great location with lots of hotels that can host many type of incentive programs, depending on the client’s preferences (if the client is arriving/leaving in Bucharest) And any other ideas you may have we would like you to share with us, depending on the possibilities, at accessible prices for incentive programs.
