Danube Bike Trail: Part 5
Ordinær pris 249,00 krFrom Belgrade to The Black Sea. In this fifth part of the Danube Bike Trail series a 1,400 kilometre long, adventurous journey from Belgrade to the Black Sea awaits you. The legacies of a long and tumultuous history, wonderful natural landscapes and humble rural villages make this tour a unique experience. The Belgrade fortress, the Kalemegdan, the Iron Gate, the undulating hilly landscapes of Bulgaria and Romania and the numerous archaeological excavations and ruins of past empires are only some of the highlights of this journey.
For much of the way you have a choice of riding on the northern or southern bank of the Danube, while you can either ride the last section in Romania to Tulcea along the Danube or via the harbour city of Constanta and the Black Sea coast. From Tulcea you can take a river cruise to the delta and the mouth of the Danube at kilometre zero.

Romania: Transylvania
Ordinær pris 309,00 krThis third edition of Bradt's Romania: Transylvania remains the only standalone English language guide to this legendary and enchanting region. Comprehensive chapter-per-county coverage is offered, including details to cater for the diverse range of travellers to the region, from city breaks to rural escapes, ski enthusiasts to charity volunteers. Thoroughly updated, this new edition reflects all the changes of the past few years, from improved transport infrastructure (in particular the regional airports at Cluj, Sibiu and Targu Mures) to the completion of new motorway routes, such as that between Sibiu and Deva.
Also covered are a number of striking new accommodation options: for example the sustainable guesthouse in Valea Zalanului owned by HRH The Prince of Wales, and the mountaintop retreat of Raven's Nest in the Apuseni Mountains. More attractions have opened up, such as Baroque palaces formerly owned by Hungarian aristocrats, seized under the Communist regime and now being restored by the descendants of their original owners. And the region is developing its offer for new types of tourism, such as summer rock festivals, notably the Untold Festival at Cluj and Electric Castle Festival at Bontida.
Transylvania, literally the 'land beyond the forest', is a wild, wooded, intensely romantic region, filled with mountains, gorges and valleys, myths and legends, dragons, bears, wolves - and vampires. Bram Stoker called it 'one of the wildest and least-known parts of Europe' a description which remains true today. One of the most beautiful regions in central Europe and home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Transylvania preserves its cultural and artistic treasures in a unique landscape, bordered on three sides by the Carpathian Mountains.
