Transylvania is Romania’s largest and most diverse province. It extends through the central and north-western parts of the country and is home to many of its mountains, the Transylvanian plateau and the north-western plain. The plateau and the plain are fertile farming grounds, while the mountains provide important forest products and minerals. The beautiful mountains of Transylvania, with their ski slopes and other leisure/sporting activities, make for a holiday experience worth remembering. The rich resources in Transylvania have helped in the growth of several cities.
Transylvania is located on a high plateau and is enclosed by mountains on all sides. The cool weather and mineral/forest resources combine to make Transylvania one of the richest parts of Romania. The mist travelling down the mountain slopes adds to the mystery and legends that are such a big part of this ancient land.
The weather in Transylvania differs from place to place since it is a plateau enveloped by mountains. The cold air often remains trapped in the lower parts during the winter and cold temperatures can last for a long time. The temperature in Transylvania can rise up to almost 40 degrees in the summer and drop to under 30 in the winter, particularly in the eastern parts of the region.
