More about Slănic Moldova (the place where the Youth Exchange will be held)
Slănic Moldova is situated on the eastern slope of the Eastern Carpathians (the
mountain Nemira) at a height of 530 m on the valley Slănic. The city takes place in a
depression covered with deciduous and coniferous forests. Slănic-Moldova, a city in
eastern Romania (Bacau County) located Slănic River (a tributary of Trotus) at Nemira
Mountains (Eastern Carpathians), elevation 530 m, in a valley surrounded by forests of
beech and fir, the 84 km southwest of the city of Bacau (Bacau county).
The resort is famous for its springs of carbonate, bicarbonate, slightly sulfurous,
chlorinated, sodium, hypertonic, hypotonic and oligo springs discovered in 1801. In 1852
the first chemical tests were performed, and in 1877 were first spa facilities.
Slănic Moldova is the place to relax and recharge your batteries; it is nature itself
around you and delight your eyes. What you to want more than to feel the mountain
air as you purify the body, to the steps you walk on trails and paths that open up new
horizons ... more modern, brighter, closer to your soul, to live and breathe in a beautiful
mountain landscape in which to rediscover that communion with nature to heal itself
using power or beneficial to the many springs renowned for their curative effect?

More about Bran Castle
Bran Castle, situated near Bran and in the immediate
vicinity of Braşov, is a national monument and landmark
in Romania. The fortress is situated on the border
between Transylvania and Wallachia, on DN73.
Commonly known as "Dracula's Castle, it is marketed as
the home of the titular character in Bram Stoker's
Dracula.
The castle is now a museum open to tourists, displaying
art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. Tourists can
see the interior individually or by a guided tour. At the
bottom of the hill is a small open air museum park
exhibiting traditional Romanian peasant structures
(cottages, barns, etc.) from across the country.
More about Brasov
Braşov has a population of 283,901 and is the 7th largest city
in Romania. It is located almost in the center of the country
and surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains. The city
provides a mix of wonderful mountain scenery in the nearby
Poiana Braşov and medieval history with German influences
in the old town. The city is 176 km from Bucharest.
Braşov is up there with Sinaia and the surrounding mountain resorts as the most visited
city in Transylvania, Romania, and this is something that's not in vain. Braşov boasts
everything from dynamic modern city life to old world charm and fascinating scenery.
Also, it's pleasant to have some of the extras as well, including some of the best
cleanliness records in the country, great transport and great food. Even though it's a bit
overpriced for Romanian standards, especially in the high season, Braşov is definitely
worth it. As some people say, "Why bother coming to Romania if you're not going to see
Braşov?"
