Overview

Jump into medieval gems of Wallachia, still in use today. Explore Europe’s largest Salt Mine. Get touched by spirituality, in a fortified monastery. Experience spiritism and mysticism, in the Castle of Julia Hasdeu.

Regarded by the locals as highlights of the historical region called Wallachia in present day Romania, these places inspire fear and respect in the population still affected by the ghosts of the past. Nevertheless, it’s an amazing tour and the Castle has unique architecture, built by a grieving father in order to connect with the spirit of his premature lost daughter.
