Many villages that are UNESCO world heritage sites
Dacia, central Romania, is the ancient land of the Dacians, a people from the time of Greek and Roman rule. The Hellenic's called it "Getae", Dacia in Latin. It was part of the grassland between the Carpathians in the north, and the Danube in the south. Still very rural region, and a region of great historical interest in Romania. One part, near Brasov County, was later settled by the Saxons, who came from Germany, cultivated land and protected it against invasion. What I liked about the Dacia region is that it is a place where people live with nature. There isn't much to do besides walking, hiking, spending some time in the villages trying to chat with people and see how they live.
Many people still travel by carriage, which occasionally you will see in Bucharest. It's strange to think even now Romania is in the EU, in some areas people still live in such isolation, and cultivate the land like they did centuries ago. Besides nature, the region has many villages belonging to the UNESCO World Heritage, with forts and medieval features.
