Located in the center of the country, in the beautiful region of Transilvania and surrounded by the southern Carpathians mountains, stands one of the most special cities in Europe. some even say:"Probably the best cities in the world".
A big sign of "Brasov" on the top of Tampa mountain, cannot be missed. As well as very big, and full of shops, restaurants and coffee bars square, called: Piata Sfatului.
The most obvious fact about the people of Brasov is that they love and admire their great city.
The location of Brasov, in the heart of Transilvania, is attractive for tourists. They can make "star" trips all around the area.
Many pensions and hotels are allover and will fit a single, couple or families.

My journey to Maramures- Part 2

In the evening we came back to this warm family farm in Maramures.
We watched the nice owner milking her cows in the old fashion way..



As we have 2 small children, she suggested to boil the milk just in case..so while she did it we walked around her farm, enjoying the green trees, fruits and vegetables.
She has a lot of cats so my children were very happy to play with them.


Picking apples from the tree
The local people are using apples in so many ways:Pies,Brandy,jam and more.



Oren is impressed by the organic tomatoes that grow in the farm.

Hila is happy :)

Sigal is finally drinking her fresh milk.



After enjoying the her peaceful farm, she offered us her own handmade cheese and bread.


After this beautiful visit we walked to our hotel (2 min. from the farm). The hotel called:"Secret Garden".
It is a paradise in the middle of pure nature.
