The wind to this day rasps at the mountainside on the very spot where they gained freedom from the dimension of time: the Raven’s Nest.
It is the same location that we begin our tour.
A dozen old huts, testament to man’s attempt to tame this vast wilderness, are the first sight for the new visitor.
The huts of old timber girders stick defiantly into the sky from the mountain top. From here you are a traveler in a legendary world of Dragons and Ravens!
Pathfinders will guide you from Ravens Nest. They know the secrets of these trails and can read the signs of the clouds. No gate shall stay locked for you.
You shall find the villages in the valley that once were raided by the dragons from the swamp of Mluha.
The timeless village from where the humans perished.
Hike through deep gorges surrounded by towering walls of rock that seemingly rise to the heavens.
This was once the home of Zamolxe, ruler of this realm.
Here the chronicles confirm the legend. Built on a rock spur by Count Thoroczkay in 1270, the Fortress of Coltesti is known to be the place where Vlad the Impaler, ruler of Valahia, was chained in dungeons.Below are rumored to be caves full of vampire bats.
Seven water falls with seven ponds where the Romans bathed fierce battles.
Measure your self with the rock that’s nesting the Ravens, climb where the Raven its soaring, if the rock will have mercy on you!
Ancient battlegrounds
So the man could not forget his own voice, he was speaking to the woods, rocks and valleys. Those stories were later sang and passed on to the young ones.
