Poiana Brasov, Valea Mare-Mateiasi, Olt river

Poiana brasov has so much things to show. Despite of this there are another beautiful places to see in Romania. Valea Mare is one of them. Olt river is another one. I hope you like them.

Poiana Brasov - part I

Time swifts life’s experiences but in the end only the important things matter: love , health, family, the environment; the order is at random. It’s a vicious cycle repeating itself.
You always come back to your roots to what made you, to the earth because you’re part of it. Nature calls you, it’s an ancestral calling maybe that’s why we spend our holidays away from the concrete jungle.

We have remoted from our origin but time has a rithm of doing things and teaching us to be what we are: the missing piece from the nature’s puzzle. My first thought when I got to Poiana Brasov was that God had forgotten a piece of heaven on the earth, unspoiled yet by man’s intrusion.
Of course everything is expanding and between the high pine trees the roofs of the hotels pierce the sky. Man insisted to highlight it’s presence in European roads, outdoor activities, impressive hotels endowed with modern facilities.

PoianaBrasov is the kingdom of winter sports and the slopes are passable even there‘s no snow. You can adventure on a bike ride down the slopes but it can be dangerous if you don’t wear a helmet. You can roll over in a huge balloon, it’s funny and dizzy at the same time. Walking is my favorite activity because you can enjoy the silent story of the mountains. There are alleys to stroll, this way you are not disturbed by ATVs drivers, andrenaline hunters. On snowy weather these alleys are full of sledges but I enjoyed a sunny October day, the landscape recharged my soul with everything it’s beautiful, clean and healthy, my eyes with the beauty created only by a divine hand and my ears with the mild music of Dumitru Farcas with his bass clarinet(used by folk musicians in Hungary and Romania). Even if the weather was chilly the outdoor restaurants and terraces were filled with people drinking traditional beverages and eating Romanian meals.

Beyond these terraces you can find another proof of God’s presence, a wooden church, a neutral place built in the land of people and torn from the sky.

Poiana Brasov - team building

It is the perfect place to take pictures of the squirrels or lions whose masters allow you to touch and cares them in change of the price or to admire and even buy precious stones matching each zodiacal sign. Touching them makes you feel their energy and vibration.

If the weather permits you, climb the mountain to 1200 metres or go by sky lift. Souvenirs hunters can find all kind of artcrafts in the outdoor fair: hand made fabrics, wools, still-life pictures and wooden artcrafts.

Each hotel has a restaurant but you would rather go to „Crama Haiducilot”(Outlaw’s wine cellar), or „Sura Dacilor”(Dacians’Shed), with hunting profile and an atmosphere to initiate you in a time journey to our ancestors.

Of course you can visit the surroundings, climb down to Brasov, visit Peles Castle or Bran Castle. The night life is also challenging in Poiana as well as in Brasov.

You can attend diferent parties at the hotels by the side of the pool or discos like „Capra Neagra”(The Black Goat). The opportunities are endless and the success of your holiday is guaranteed, regardless your options.
