Garâna, a reborn story

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• 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.

Buziaș, back to life!

 

 

 

Known for its great mineral water, rich in carbon dioxide, calcium,iron ans sodium, this place is famous for treating cardiovascular, central nervous system, gynecological,metabolic ,  and neuropsychiatric

diseases. The long and full of tree park is home for old and majestic tree planes. The symbol of the resort is an old plane which nowadays is used as a place for drinking and eating.

 

Being declared a health spa in 1839, Buzias is a place that would leave you a bit confused. Situated in a gorgeous environment, it gives you the sheer feeling that you entered a deserted place. Which is such a pity!

 

However, the month of October gives you the sensation that at a certain time, this would be history. That is because here they organise a festival of food and wine where there is plenty of all types of culinary flavours and people competing for getting a prize for best cooked gulyas. The idea is great, except for one thing. If you want to do something, do it better! Too many people and too little space. Too many queues and too much hunger. Too much food and not enough tables to eat at. But , in order to see the bright side, you should know that the atmosphere is that of a  noisy festival,of having a good time. So , may you reborn soon, Buzias!
