Transylvania - the name alone conjures up images of craggy mountains, gothic castles, horse drawn carts and forests filled with hibernating bears. The reality is not that far off.
Crisp winters add an extra dimension to this small corner of Europe as snow blankets the pastures, farmsteads and woodlands.
Spend a week exploring this region, hiking or snowshoeing to small villages, into gorges, through valleys and up mountains and wandering through castles and a bear sanctuary along the way.
