Escape the city and discover three remarkable places in the heart of Transylvania on a full-day journey from Cluj-Napoca, combining ancient Roman history, unusual natural landscapes and authentic rural heritage.
Explore the Roman ruins of Porolissum
Travel back nearly 2,000 years as you explore Porolissum, one of the most important archaeological sites of Roman Dacia. Once a major military and administrative centre on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire, this ancient settlement offers a fascinating glimpse into life along the Roman borders.
Walk among the remains of the Roman fortifications, discover the impressive ancient gates and explore the archaeological landscape where soldiers, merchants and travellers once crossed paths. Enjoy the atmosphere of this historic place while learning about the Roman presence in the region and the strategic importance of Porolissum.
Discover the spectacular Garden of Dragons
Continue your journey to the Garden of Dragons (Grădina Zmeilor), one of Romania's most unusual natural attractions. This protected geological reserve is famous for its fascinating sandstone formations, sculpted over thousands of years by wind, rain and erosion.
Walk among towering rock pillars, strange shapes and narrow passages that create an almost otherworldly landscape. Local legends and imaginative names add to the mystery of this place, making it a wonderful destination for photography, exploration and a little adventure.
Visit the 1558 wooden church of Racâș
Complete the day with a visit to the traditional wooden church in Racâș, dating back to 1558. This remarkable example of historic wooden architecture offers a glimpse into the religious traditions, craftsmanship and rural heritage of Transylvania.
Admire its traditional construction and discover the stories preserved by these old wooden walls. It is an opportunity to experience a quieter, more authentic side of the region, away from the usual tourist routes.
A day of history, nature and local heritage
This experience brings together three very different but equally fascinating destinations. From the legacy of the Roman Empire to extraordinary geological formations and centuries-old wooden architecture, you will discover a side of Transylvania that many visitors never get to see.
