ROMANIA

Prince Charles appears in the ‘Wild Carpathia’ documentary, aired by Travel Channel UK, which presents some of the most scenic landscapes of the Carpathian Mountains. The teaser of the documentary describes Transylvania as a place of myth of legend, where the howling of wolves gives shivers in the cool air of the night. ‘Carpathia’ is the name given by presenter Charlie Ottley to the area within the Romanian Carpathians, which is almost as wide as Great Britain, which is “home to bears, wolves and the elusive lynx, this is perhaps the last great wilderness in Europe.”

Ottley says he sought, in Transylvania, people that are trying to preserve their traditions in this region and interviews even Prince Charles – an outspoken advocate of Romania, who jokes saying that he is the descendent of Romanian prince Vlad the Impaler, which explains his connections to this country. The 60-minute documentary also presents the Hunyadi Castle of Hunedoara.

Prince Charles has two properties in the Valea Zalanului village, Covasna County, including a century-old house which he completely renovated.

During the last years, the heir to the British throne paid several private visits to Covasna, as a guest of Baron Kalnoky Tibor, at his manor of Miclosoara, built in the XVI-th century.

Travel Channel will air the ‘Wild Carpathia’ documentary on October 30.
