CARPATHIAN MYSTERIES




Buzau county is a little known tourist area, but add all of Romania landforms: plains, hills, desert portions, mountains, sweet and salty lakes. Unfortunately, only well-known attraction is the Muddy Volcanoes. Instead, only a few people, most of the place, know the true value of the area. Mysteries of the Curvature Sub-Carpathians are exciting: the mountain range to Manzalesti salt, salt cave in Meledic "live fire" from deer, amber museum around the corner, cave dwellings in the same area are some tracks that we recommend. 


             "Live fire" from Lopatari


On a gravel road, about 66 km from Buzau, the radius of the village Lopatari, mash the village, is "live fire", a natural phenomenon of gas emanation that once land is out of contact with the atmosphere autoaprind . Route can not be fully covered by car. Tourist objective is not flagged. It is located on a hill and need to be informed on the people of mush. Climb, easy, takes no more than 20 minutes.In fact, many riches hidden places, locals say that the surrounding hills would find significant reserves of natural gas, oil and even uranium.
At about 50 km from Buzau, the area Manzalesti village, there is a strange phenomenon: a salt mountain range. Even in the area are salt springs, their water being used by locals to Pusula pickles. Lack of interest of local authorities and poverty have made this wealth was not put in value. Unfortunately, not even tests were conducted to determine the therapeutic effects of these sources.


             Salt cave of the Meledic


No more than 4 km was Meledic plateau, which would have to rise Peles Castle. Only the tragic death of the architect appointed to erect the castle on the Queen Mary made her decide to change location. Today, the ruins still Meledic foundation would have to turn the royal palace.
Another peculiarity is Meledic lake. Not more than one hectare, located on a mountain of salt, the lake is fresh water. During the summer, here is the beach and fished. Bathing are not appropriate because even if the water is warmer shore, about a meter away abruptly becomes very cold water, is potentially cardiac arrest. Lake depth is 20 meters.
At about one kilometer away from the plateau Meledic in a forest of lime, salt cave are, unique in Europe by way of training. Although it is not arranged, those wishing to visit must have equipment for mountain and powerful flashlights. They say the cave length exceeds 30 km, and some rooms have heights of 200 meters.



   

                  Ambar stone 3.5kg


The amber mine in the area found Colti largest amber stone from Romania, which weighs 3.5 kg. Amber Museum here exposes many pieces of rare beauty. Extraction of the stones in these parts dating from the Bronze Age.
In the same area are cave dwellings. Rooms carved in stone is a mystery today. Nobody knows who made them and for what purpose. These cells were found inscriptions that could not be deciphered. Here was a church built in stone. Those who wish to visit this place should be aware that they need equipment for climbing, and the time of ascent is about one day.
Legend says that the ballad was born Miorita Colti as is where transhumance shepherds come from Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania.
