• The village of Garana is situated in Romania’s Semenic mountains, around 50 km from Resita, at an altitude of 1,000 meters.Garana (also called Wolfsberg) – has interesting folklore traditios and beautiful mountain landscapes.
• A few families from Bohemia settled here, around the year 1830, and were colonized in the Banat Mountains. They called themselves Pemi and founded Wolfsberg village, which today is called Garana. This led to the conservation of old habits, which can be seen in the architectural style. Most of the houses are painted white with green doors.
• The massive emigration before and after 1989 left the houses and even the whole village empty, to the joy of the new „colonists” from Timisoara and other cities around, which made their summer residences in Granada, Valiug, Brebu Nou.
• Although nowadays most of the original-German population of the village returned to its roots, the village survived and transformed into a vacation village and a touristic attraction
• At the bottom of the village,there is a wonderful panorama; we can see Semenic peak, Garana village and Brebu village.
• Garana Jazz Festival, a regular highlight of the Romanian and international jazz scene;it has been taken placehere for 17 yearsin mid-July ;it gathersfamous local,national and international musicians and bands
