Waking up away from the noise of the city and eating locally-grown products and traditional dishes are part of the allure of a countryside holiday. But there is more. Bellow we have put together a list of activities to round up the experience.
Stay at a farm Milking a cow, gathering eggs, taking the goats grazing or picking medicinal plants are some of the activities that Ferma Penteleu proposes to children and adults alike. Guests can also get involved in the feeding of the rabbits, the baby goats, the sheep or the goats. A range of other workshops are available, such as ones dedicated to carpentry, pottery, or weaving. The entire list of activities is available here. The farm is located in Buzău county, in the village of Varlaam, and also offers accommodation. A reservation is needed prior to the visit.
Visitors will find an organic garden at the Cobor Farm, in Brașov County. They can learn about farm animals, the vegetables grown there, but also the wildlife in the area. They can take part in various farm activities, take plenty of day drips, by foot, horse cart or sleigh, or take part in the monthly events organized in the local community. More on the available activities and facilities here. Watch the wildlife In addition to being a spot for discovering the hills of Transylvania, Cobor is also a good place for bird-watching and wildlife watching. There is a great variety of birds in the area, also home to the roe deer, the wolf, the fox, the bear and the wildcat. Cobor also hosts a horse livery and rehabilitation center where horses roam freely over 20 ha of fenced grassland. More here. In western Romania’s Caraș-Severin county, the mountain commune of Armeniș sits close to Țarcu Mountains, an area where the European bison has been reintroduced in recent years. In recent years, more rural tourism options emerged in the area, and WWF is also working with the locals to help visitors find more about the bison and track them into the wild. More here.
