Discovering Romania's Countryside (Peles Castle, Busteni & Sinaia) 

Been to Busteni this summer. When I got out of the train and saw that mountains view, I just sat there for about 15 minutes absorbing it and didn't wanna leave. Just breathtaking! I left only because I knew next day I'm going to be on top of them mountains! When I got up there, I just sat down and cried for no reason. It's amazing! Enjoy!

God bless Romania 🇷🇴

It’s weird to watch travel videos about my country but I feel so good knowing that foreigners have a great time in Romania. It makes me happy don’t judge me 😅😅

Awesome country !

😂 Romania is famous for train delays, but the destination it is worth it. Btw, thank you, in the name of Romania's train management, for not pointing out the bad things! Happy you enjoyed Romania! ❤

Wow guys!!! I’m from Sinaia myself - thank you so much for visiting my city!!!

If you are a wildlife photographer/videographer Romania is definitely a place to be. There's a lot of wildlife from bears, to wild horses, to Charpatian Lynx (which btw are Romania's national animal), to all kinds of birds (mainly in the Delta but of course throughout Ro as well), to wolves, to eagles, to black sea dolphins, to European bison, wild boars, and many many more. Love your energy btw guys. Big up!

Stunning guys. Sometimes castles look so dark and cold inside, without character. But this seemed so different. Very beautiful. Especially the architecture of the building itself. And those flowers, well what can I say. 😊💗 Glad you got to meet your friends. The landscapes are beautiful as well. Can’t wait to see more of this country. Stay safe. 💗

You should've visited Pelișor castle inside, it is gorgeous, more intimate the Peleș and gives you the sensation that people still live there, they are just out for a bit. So emotional, don't miss it next time!

Just gorgeous .. that Castle was so cool .. as is the scenery 😍😍🥰🙏

I love your videos so much. You have an awesome energy! Thank you for the kind words about Romania, I am really glad you enjoy it!

Before you said it I thought this looks like Germany. Fairytale Castle and the food looked great!

Thank you for promoting our country so well. I'm glad you enjoy the mountains. Every time I'm there, once every 2-3 years, I recharge with energy. I have a cabin up in the mountains, and I stay there. It's really beautiful. How was your overall experience in Romania? What do you think of the mountains? I no longer live in the country, but every time I go there, I savor it with the greatest pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, and it really shows in the video that you had a wonderful time. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Hey guys, so do you mind if I tell you about maybe the best King and Queen of Romania? So here is it: After King Carol's death, his nephew Prince Ferdinand was to inherit the crown. Carol had sons, but they were not interested because the country was a rural country, more ot an agrarian country than the beauty and splendor of western European countries. He married princess Maria of Edinburgh in Britain, the granddaughter queen Elisabeth of Britain. Ferdinand and Maria were to be crowned during WW1. Ferdinand was a good leader and though he came from a German speaking country he choose to protect his country from the war and keep neutrality. Until he received word from the Romanians of Transylvania that they were going to use the opportunity of the war to revold against the occupying Hungarians and Germans. Ferdinand decided that to avoid the massacre of Hungarian backlash, he was going to help them. It went well but Germany intervened and pushed back the country until the end of the war. During a truce talks, Ferdinand delayed signing any surrender until the war was over and thus avoided any political backlash or promises to the Hungarians or Germans. During the peacetalks, things weren't going so well, USA and other western leaders wanted to let Hungary keep Transylvania to knock them out of argument. But the Romanian politicians could not stand for it. They needed someone with a good reputation to help them turn things around. Ferdinand could not go and make demands because he was of German descent and no one would listen to him. But Queen Maria who became a avid supporter of Romania decided to put her royal upbringing and political education to use: she went to the Peace talks and gained the support of the United Kingdom and the French and Spanish and even talked openly to President Woodrow Wilson about the importance of giving Transylvania to Romania both strategically and for the people who were oppressed by the Hungarian occupation. She spoke passionately like a great leader that even left the politicians speechless all the while never losing face or prestige of her British upbringing. She returned home before the Peace talks were done but in the end Transylvania was allowed to reunite with Romania. And so the era of Greater Romania began. (It is called Greater because it was the only time in history where Romania had the largest territories in its boarders) Today she has statues, Hospitals named after her and she is loved by all Romanians.

Awesome video guys! Definitely need to add Busteni to our travel bucket list 😍

I hope you enjoy our beautiful country, we're so glad to have you visiting us! Wishing you all the best and we hope you'll come back!

Yes, I'm glad that you really covered the Peles Castle - I rank it as Romania's #1 tourist site. The Bran castle is good, and has all those spooky Dracula vibes, and that's why it's so popular, but the Peles Castle will just blow you away! During communist times, the Peles Castle was one of Ceausescu's private playgrounds, but it was opened up to the public following the fall of communism. You guys have so much youthful exuberance and enthusiasm, you fit right in with the spirit of Romania and its wonderful people.

if you're still there and going to Bran castle, u should maybe go a few km from Bran ,up to the mountain villages(Pestera/Magura or Fundata), the scenery is stunning and they're good examples of old scattered mountain villages. You can take a taxi from Bran and walk around, then call a taxi to get you or walk the trail back.

Thank you for promoting our country, have fun and enjoy your stay

Trains being late is the norm during summer. It can also happen in harsh winter days, especially going to the mountains. So have pleanty of water with you. And some snacks 😅

Wow! The views and the castle are breathtaking! Great video!

SO GREAT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU GUYS FINALLY!!! Bușteni is gorgeous!

You say " Boosteny" În fact letter "ș" is like "sh" 😊 I'm happy for your happynes. You both are so sweet. Have fun în our beautiful country!

If you are in Busteni i hope you also take a hike to Urlatoarea Waterfall (1h walk) and Babele - Crucea Caraiman up the mountain by cable car. The view from Caraiman Cross is amazing.

"Busteni" means "logs". Nice video. Enjoy your vacation!

You are so nice people! I don't want to speak about Romania! Romania can present themself! Happy that you joined your trip in Romania

In Sinaia the center is verry pretty with a lot of restaurants and the central parc, was close where you walked, for me was a must visit!

Have you visited Pelișor Castle, too? When you have time, come and discover the beautiful city of Iași, which is not presented in mainstream media. It has a very beautiful Palace of Culture.

Busteni such a lovely place was there in February nice and cold how I liked it I wore shorts and got some stairs as being British I love the cold! Braşov is another lovely place! That was a great place for food and site seeing

Love from Romania (Iaşi)! God bless you! :)

Love ur reactions ,hope u had a great time .Much more u must see and i hope u do it and love our beautiful country❤❤❤

chandeliers and mirrors made of Murano glass. Library walls covered in Cordoba leather. Tea room table and chairs , made of pepper wood , as a gift from some Indian Maharaja . A whole Indian family worked for 4 generations to make them.... like 100 years !!!

România e frumoasă ❤❤😘😘😘

Amazing videography in this one guys! I had to rewind a couple of spots and watch again and paused several of the castle interiors. Stunning.

Suggestion. If you go up to the north of ROMANIA, I suggest visit city of Oradea, Brașov and Saltmine Turda. And dont forget to eat: Papanași. Romanian desert.

Oh,I guess Jenny enjoyed the places you ve been to ....:)) Welcome to România!

Romanians loved our german kings , unlike the all the other rulers that romanian principalities had (greeks,russians,hungarian,etc) that were only interested in robbing the population ,they were true kings, reformed the country, industrialized it, opened schools and universities , invested in fine arts and music. And on a personal level, they learned the romanian language and considered themselves romanians ,they were proud of their country and we were proud of them. The best period romania ever had ,people still miss the Hohenzolern dinasy

8:50 i love this music you choose..

Beautiful vlog ! Thank you !

Brașov the most beautiful city of Romania !!! ♥️💛💙

❤❤❤❤❤

Don't worry, the bear just wants to say "Happy Birthdayyyyyyyy", so treat him with something good and pet him a bit ! :):):)

Nice nice

Happy late birthday!

It's important that the last queen of Romania died there because she was beloved by the whole country. Queen Mary was the one that created hospitals in ww2 and invested a lot in the country's education and houses for orphans. Her sone was also beloved by the country, though he had a sad life bein overthrown by communists, him investing in the education of tomanians with massive libraries (see Iasi BCU) and him ending up selling eggs from chickens he grew because of the poverty he was sent to because of the communists. There is more to be said but I advise you to see his funeral on youtube after reading up on him.

I recommend hike to Omu Peak, and Moldoveanu Peak

❤

Peles Castle was the first castle in the World electrically iluminated.

I hope the guide told you properly the story of the castle. There are many debates , but the historical fact was that Carol built this castle with his own money . Not even a dime of Romanian treasury was used. He sold some of his properties in Germany and built this castle. Around 3 million gold francs .... am afraid to try and convert in today's currency . Probably should multiply by some hundreds . Considering that a few gold francs were a good months wage in that time

Did you buy castle tickets on the day at the entrance? I’m going there in June and I’m just trying to figure out where to stay and transport :)

The Pelisor castle is famous becouse of Queen Maria, you cand find infos about her here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_of_Romania

Peles is the Bugatti of Castles. Fancy with all the latest tech at the time. World First castle fully powerd by electricity

this is only the summer residence - I mean the Peles Castle...

hi jenny and jacob how are you guys😃

👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

17:32 So...that bean kicked in, isn't it...

România it's the house at over 8000 of wild Bears the bigger populațion of bears from European Union🐻🐻🐻,we have and wild Bizons🦬,wild Horses🐎,Wolfs,Linx,Șacal and already You show the Fox🦊

Common misconception. Peles is not a castle, it's a palace.

Hello, nice video! If you have time please visit Brașov(for me is the most beautiful city from Romania, with a good good food) Sibiu Oradea Iași Bucovina Maramureș Cluj and Sighișoara You will not regret, trust me Have a nice trip !

Bună... țin să vă spun... Ați văzut doar o bucățică din Romania...

Visit Via Transilvanica....

The train being late and no air is so typical of Romania.

Not to worry about bears here, if they hear you speak foreign languages you will be ok.

She open her mouth so easily every time !!! You are a lucky guy 😂😂😂

That place must be un-bear-able to visit..

it is called peleş,ș,

Trains in Romania = if a woman gives birth to a kid in the train , the kid will be ready for high school on arrival in final station

Is normal in Romania train leit 30 min or haour😂

😂😂20 -30 mins?!! Mate, you are very, very lucky.....in the winter you can wait like 3 or 4 hours 😂😢 and they slowing down a lot....like 20 km /h, in some areas because the rail line is frozen and contracted? Is such a f...u..ck night mare.....in special if you have another train to catch 😂😢😢😅 but deserves, the landscape is ineffable ❤ I miss my country, and all the mess😂

Make noise the bears should leave

43 minutes ad on utube. Its...😂. Skip. 🎉❤

trains are always late in Romania, CFR is state owned and like anything state owned and managed is bad...

It's sadly not a joke, living in Brasov and it's neighbourhood is a challenge, you must be in a very good running shape and always focused on the surroundings, otherwise you can be killed or hardly injured by a bear. Meanwhile, our corrupt politicians don't care about, and further encourage the deforestation. :(

30 minutes late :) Welcome to the Romanian Railroad Company, my friends :) Oh and having to pay for each floor of the Peles Castle... this must be new, I've been there many times and you would just pay for a complete tour.

That's not countryside, those are towns, that's urban, not rural.

este foarte frumoasa romania dar nu stim noi romani sa o pretuim

A bit over the top lady

Lol, normal?

After second WW this guy , king :)) Carol , gave Moldova to the Russians and Ardeal to Hungayria, so he might have his guns but he was shooting blanks .

9:36 it's the firefox, click on update 😂 king Carol I was a little bit different from the King Obama & blondieTrump >> Jenny, Micii & Sarmale is a danger for your health, be moderate

She's over exaggerating, unnatural reactions

Video 10 Story 0 Everything just rubbish 😱

Imi place ca in toate clipurile , traseul este Bucuresti - Sinaia - Brasov cu extensii spre Sighisoara, poate Cluj. Nici un itinerar spre Alexandria - Videle - Calafat - Caracal - Dabuleni . Sau Slobozia - Urziceni - Tandarei - Buzau - Tecuci etc . Avem doua Romanii - una de expozitie si una , Romania reala , vai de mama ei ! De acolo vin politicienii care ne conduc , prin vointa poporului , vai de mama lui si el !

We,the romanians ,we are not eaten by the bears because....we are who eat the bear instead.....btw,i would recomend you to try the bear paw ,it's available in some restaurants from the area.

Karen relax karen

Super
