We've changed location ...
Summer School's venue is changed: Prahova Valley. Prahova Valley is located just couple of hours from Bucharest, the capital of Romania, in the beautiful Carpat Mountain Region. Great view, impressive sightseeing and an excellent location for the summer school.
Prahova Valley is the valley where the Prahova river makes its way between the Bucegi and the Baiului Mountains, in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. It is a tourist region, situated about 100 km north of the capital city of Bucharest. Geographically, the Prahova River separates the Eastern Carpathians chain from the Southern Carpathians. Historically, the corridor was the most important passage way between the principalities of Wallachia and Transylvania.
This region is one of the most important touristic areas in Romania.
Predeal, the northernmost resort on the Prahova Valley, 25 km from Brasov, 16 km from Sinaia, is the town on the highest elevation in Romania at 1033m altitude. It is surrounded by five massifs: Postavaru, Piatra Mare, Bucegi, Baiului and Fitifoi, being a good base for mountain hikes and, in winter, for skiing down the Clabucet and Cioplea slopes. The name is derived from Romanian "pre deal" which means "on the hill". The place offers easy access to Clabucet, Cioplea, two of the most important areas in Predeal. Other pleasant areas for trips or other sports (mountaineering, climbing, parachuting) are within short distance from Predeal: Paraul Rece, Poiana Secuilor, Susai, Garbova. In summer, you can take trips to the nearby chalets in the mountains (Trei Brazi - elevation 1,128 m, Clabucet Sosire - 1,050 m, Clabucet Plecare - 1,450 m, Girbova - 1,350 m, Piatra Mare - 1,630 m, Susai - 1,350 m, Poiana Secuilor - 1,070 m, etc.) or to the cabins farther away on the crests of the Bucegi.
Among the tourist landmarks in Sinaia, the most important are Peleş¸ Castle, Pelişor Castle, Sinaia Monastery, Sinaia Casino, Sinaia train station. Sinaia was also the summer residence of the Romanian composer George Enescu, who stayed at the Luminiş¸ villa.
Today a historical monument, Peleş Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle placed in an idyllic setting in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Prahova County, Romania, on an existing medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia, built between 1873 and 1883.
