🦩✨ Transylvanian Storks: Guardians of the Skies ✨🦩
In the heart of Transylvania, storks have found the most unique homes—nesting on light poles or unused chimneys! These majestic birds, symbols of good luck and prosperity, build their nests high above, creating a breathtaking sight against the Transylvanian landscape. 🌄
According to an old saying, storks begin leaving their nests on the 15th of August, marking the end of summer. It’s a bittersweet moment, but also a reminder of the cycle of life and the beauty of nature’s rhythms. 🌾
Next time you visit Transylvania, look up—you might just spot these incredible birds and their sky-high homes!

Discover Oradea
Oradea is often overlooked for the more known cities in Transylvania, such as Sibiu or Cluj-Napoca.
Word of advice: don’t make this mistake.
Here’s why.
A lively city, Oradea is a delight for Secessionism/Art Nouveau lovers. Its beautifully restored historic center is filled with plenty of restaurants, boutique shops, and cafes.
Not too far from the center, you can visit the millennium-old fortress, home to many cultural events.
A little-known fact about Oradea is that its rich thermal water reserves led to the establishment of several spa towns surrounding the city, ever since medieval times. These waters are miraculous.

#Romanians celebrate the Dragobete Day on February 24, an ancient pre-Christian holiday dedicated to love, renewal and spring. It is known as “the day when birds are betrothed” because at the end of February birds start building their nests and mate. On this day, maidens used to collect the remaining snow and melt it, using it in love potions for the rest of the year. Young women and men picked snowdrops, the first flowers of spring, and gifted them to the person they courted. One could say that the Dragobete Day is a sort of pre-Christian Valentine’s Day. Romanians celebrate love twice in February, once on the 14th and another time on the 24th.
