Two areas in Romania have been included by the British publication “The Telegraph” in a top list of places in Eastern Europe that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to a recent study, more and more British tourists are abandoning destinations such as France, Spain, and Italy in favor of those in Eastern Europe, with the main reasons being the affordable costs of such a trip and the high level of safety.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In this context, “The Telegraph” has compiled a top 25 of the most beautiful areas in Eastern Europe and encourages tourists not to miss them. Romania holds a place of honor, represented by two of its most famous tourist attractions: the Danube Delta and the Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The British publication placed the Danube Delta in second position, noting: “Europe\u2019s second longest river \u2013 2,864 kilometers \u2013 spreads its curtain across Romania\u2019s Black Sea coast. It pours its soul into the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, 2,732 square kilometers of protected wetlands where pelicans and herons flap undisturbed.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In tenth place in the ranking compiled by British journalists is the Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an, which tourism journalist Adrian Bridge describes as “an extraordinary and courageous invention.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I am not at all surprised that, in the search for the best driving road in the world, Jeremy Clarkson declared he found it in the middle of Romania in the form of the Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an. No matter which way you look at it, the idea of communist leader Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu is an extraordinary and courageous engineering invention: a stretch of asphalt with tunnels, viaducts, and bridges that tests your ability to handle turns that lead you to new heights. I crossed it from north to south on a balmy autumn day, and I remember exclaiming in wonder and fear almost the entire way. If your idea of Heaven is driving on a winding road that stretches for 80 kilometers, then the Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an is what you are looking for,” the journalist wrote.<\/div>\n
