this photo by Christina Sonnenschein

Catedrala Ortodoxă Română (Orthodoxe Kathedrale): Im Süden schließt die prächtige Kathedrale den Siegesplatz ab. Auf 1700 Betonpfeilern stemmt sich der Bau aus dem sumpfigen Gelände hoch. Die Kirche (1936-1946) verbindet byzantinische mit altrumänisch-moldauischen Stilelementen, die Dächer der vielen Türme und Türmchen zieren grün-gelbe glasierte Ziegel, die Fassade ist rot-weiß gestreift.

Die kostbare Altarwand im goldglänzenden Hauptraum (einem der größten in einer rumänisch-orthodoxen Kirche), geschnitzt aus vergoldetem Lindenholz, schmücken Ikonen. Die mit byzantinischen Fresken ausgemalten Deckengewölbe, die sieben Balkone und die pfeilergestützten Bogen runden den großzügigen Raumeindruck ab. Catedrala Mitropolitana Timisoara (interior).JPG

She writes about herself:

"I'm Romania German, live and work as a (travel) journalist in Cologne.

I went after 16 years in 2006 for the first time back to Romania - although all asked:
holiday in Romania? Are you crazy???

Since then I am infected by the virus of Romania and, put back in a three-month research trip, many thousand kilometres in this unknown land - via train, bus, plane, car, taxi, alone and in the company. I have lived in crumbling buildings and sumptuous hotels. And was intrigued. The hard contrasts between post-socialist wounds and glory. The stimulating atmosphere of a country in transition."

She wrote a guidebook: RUMÄNIEN, which was very helpful and interesting for our journey.

Thank you very much dear Christina !!!
Nice from Diana's part .... but this is where I wanted to get - if I remember well, she presents Romania mostly from Transilvania perspective ....is sooo sad that you didn't have a Complete guide .... moreover, Romania includes Moldova and also parts of Ucraine .... :(

... well ..... NOW you Have Me :) whenever you want :)

Oh YES!!!

This is, how we'll do it.
And we'll start this special guiding tour in Bucegi Natural Park. :)

Diana's guidebook includes all the parts of Romania, but of course not every beautiful place.
If it would be so, I'm sure, the book would be so big, that I'd have no chance to take it with me. :)
