Transylvania Trails: Castles, Forests, and Myths is a deeply personal journey through the heart of Romania's most mysterious region. Told in the first person, it blends travel memoir, cultural reflection, and mythic exploration into a story that walks the line between reality and legend.Across forests where the mist lingers like memory, through fortified Saxon villages where time slows, and along mountain paths that cut through the Carpathians, the narrator searches not just for castles and myths - but for meaning. From the haunting silence of Hoia-Baciu Forest to the warm laughter of shepherds in Piatra Craiului, each step reveals a land that is both human and otherworldly.This is not a tale of horror, but of reverence. It uncovers Transylvania's true spirit - a place where shadow and light coexist, where stories live in the soil, and where solitude becomes a form of understanding.Transylvania Trails invites readers to walk beyond the clichés, to discover the beauty and soul of a land too often misunderstood - and to remember that myth, at its core, is another way of telling the truth.
