Far away, across the Atlantic…. in the very heart of Europe, there is a beautiful country, called Romania. Ready to embark on a virtual trip to discover it? Ready to find out more about the deep mysterious forests and caves of the Carpathian Mountains, and the fantastic creatures that inhabit them?
