\n\tRasnov is an ideal place for families. Constantin Ungureanu, the president of the Rosenau Tourism Association in Rasnov will be our guide in our virtual trip throughout this special region of Transylvania.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cRasnov provides a wide range of activities for tourists thanks to tourist infrastructure investments that have been made over the last 6 years. Top attractions of the area are the Rasnov Citadel, the Valea Cetatii Cave where symphonic music concerts are held on Saturdays afternoon and the Evangelical Church in Rasnov dating from the 14th century where tourists can listen to organ concerts every Friday afternoon. Ski and biathlon lovers can benefit from modern facilities, unique in south eastern Europe. These facilities can be used all year round\u201d. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t
\n\tRasnov is also home to two riding centers, a mountain club and a horse farm. In the Rasnov Gorges tourists can practice mountaineering, bouldering and bungee jumping. The area also offers great opportunities for trekking. There also are caves, 4 tourist routes and a chalet. Rasnov offers great opportunities to sports lovers and culture aficionados alike. Our guide has more details:<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRasnov has the richest cultural agenda of Brasov county. Between August 10th and the 19th, Rasnov will host the 3rd edition of the Historical Film Festival, then there is the Historical Reconstitution Festival and a children\u2019s event called Game Mania. At Archaeological Kindergarten, children are taught how to shape clay, to paint and to act. This year will see the first edition of a Detective Film Festival\u201d. <\/p>\n

\n\tRasnov is a great destination for all travelers, with a number of events held there throughout the year. Winter is ideal for sports, while many festivals are held in summer. Constantin Ungureanu says:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s mostly foreign tourists who come here. Last year, the Rasnov Citadel received over 200,000 visitors. Most foreign tourists have strong bias related to Romania upon getting here. They see it as a poorly developed country. However, when they visit us, take in the landscape, and meet hospitable people, they change their ideas radically. The events that are held throughout the year draw an endless flow of tourists. For instance, some history students from the US have already made reservations for the month of August. They come to visit Rasnov and to carry out archeological diggings, on their own. They have received the approval of the Brasov Museum to make diggings in the Roman Camp.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIt is well known that Romanians like eating and Romanian cuisine known for its excellence. Just like in almost all regions of the country, the cuisine of the Rasnov area is truly special, and typically Transylvanian. A special dish of the region is the \u201czup\u201d. It is a special spicy stew, cooked in a cast iron pot, particularly in spring, and always in the open. It bears German and Hungarian influences.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t
\n\tThese are only some of the reasons why tourists choose to spend their holidays in the middle of nature, in a history-rich area, enjoying cultural events, says Constantin Ungureanu, the President of the \u201cRosenau Tourism\u201d Association in Rasnov.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201d You can come here to discover history. The first reason why I would like to invite you to visit the region is the Rasnov Citadel, the second reason is the 14th century Evangelical church, and last but not least the Romanian Orthodox Church, the oldest Orthodox Church made of stone, in southeastern Transylvania. Another tourist attraction is the \u2018Valea Cetatii\u2019 Cave, which has recently been opened to the public and features a state of the art lighting system. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\tThe system produces cold light, to preserve the microclimate of the cave unaltered. In February 2013, Rasnov will host the Olympic Festival for Youth. Two sports events will take place in Rasnov: ski jump and biathlon. It is also worth mentioning the rich cultural agenda of the town, which includes exquisite cultural events.\u201d <\/p>\n
