Poiana Brasov

admin — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:40:38 +0000

Poiana Brasov (in germana Schulerau) este o statiune pentru sporturile de iarna din Romania, fiind o atractie turistica de renume international, si un cartier al municipiului Brasov. Ea dispune de 12 partii de schi cu grade diferite de dificultate, terenuri de sport, un lac, discoteci, baruri si restaurante. Cazarea este asigurata in hoteluri de lux, pensiuni, vile sau cabane. De asemenea, in Poiana se afla o statie de ambulanta si una de politie precum si un oficiu postal.

Statiunea este de asemenea recomandata pentru tratamentul nevrozei astenice, pentru stari de epuizare si surmenaj fizic si intelectual, pentru anemii secundare si boli endocrine, pentru boli ale aparatului respirator. Deseori, iarna, temperatura ajunge la -15oC.

Poiana a fost din vechi timpuri destinatia drumetiilor si a practicarii sporturilor de iarna. Prima mentiune documentara a locatiei dateaza din 1427, in contextul activitatilor de oierit ce aveau loc aici. Schiorii au urcat Postavaru inca din 1895, iar in 1906 in Poiana a avut loc primul concurs de schi. Pana in preajma lui 1950, statiunea s-a mentinut in limitele dotarilor naturale. Doar cateva vilisoare sau cabane puteau fi zarite ici-colo. In 1951, la Poiana Brasov, au loc Jocurile Mondiale Universitare de iarna. Cu aceasta ocazie, se da in folosinta un modern hotel al sporturilor si primul teleferic – Poiana-Postavarul – pe o lungime de 2.150m. Urmeaza apoi alte si alte amenajari si dotari, care au adus Poiana la infatisarea cu care o cunoastem astazi.

10 Creepy Places to Visit at Halloween

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:30:08 +0000

1. Bran Castle, Transylvania, Romania

Although Count Dracula is a fictional character created by writer Bram Stoker, he was allegedly based on a Romanian tyrant called Vlad the Impaler, so called as he was fond of impaling his enemies on stakes. It is said that Vlad spent time at this castle in Transylvania, Romania and Count Dracula’s castle was modelled on this. Spooky! I actually visited this castle a few years and ago have to admit it is kind of creepy – lots of tiny staircases and spooky stories from the tour guides.

2. Salem, Massachusetts, USAHalloween or not, this little town is pretty spooky all year round. The infamous Salem Witch Trials were held here in 1692 and 1693. Over 150 people were accused of being witches and imprisoned. 19 were eventually convicted of being witches and hung. The town now has a museum about the trials, is home to the Witchcraft Heights Elementary School and the local football team, the Witches.3. The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado, USA

The Shining is one of a few horror movies which spooked me. You can actually stay at the hotel which inspired Stephen King’s novel. Just like the film, the hotel has a creepy story. Flora Stanley, wife of the first owner, is said to haunt the grand hotel, playing a piano at night and wandering around the lobby. If you do decide to stay here, avoid the 4th floor which is rumoured to be filled with commotion after dark.

4. Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast, Fall River, Massachusetts, USA If just visiting a spooky site isn’t scary enough for you, you will like this B&B. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her parents with an axe in this very building in 1892. Although she was found not guilty due to lack of evidence, many people believed she was the culprit. Now you can stay at the scene of the crime, sleep in her old room and even have the same meal that her parents had before they met their maker. Creepy!5. The Tower of London, UKOne of Britain’s most popular attractions, it may also be one of the most haunted. The Tower of London was the venue of choice for executions, murders and torture for over 400 years, with lots of ghost sightings having been reported since. Rumour has it that the spirit of Ann Boleyn, one of the wives of Henry VIII, beheaded in 1536, has been spotted in the Tower, sometimes carrying her head. Weird

. The city of York, UKA report from the BBC named York in the UK as the most haunted city in the world with a total of 504 recorded hauntings according to the Ghost Research Foundation International. York with its history of conflict and many tragic events boasts more ghosts than any other city in the world. Sightings include legless soldiers at The Treasurers House, book-browsing ghosts at the Museum Library, a ghostly nun at the Theatre Royal and a poltergeist at The Windmill. Spooky! 7. The Catacombs of Paris, FranceThe Catacombs of Paris is an underground cemetery which has been around since 1788. When Parisian graveyards were becoming too crowded and disease was spreading due to improper burials, the catacombs were used to store bones. By 1814, the tombs were filled. Stretching a whopping 300kms underground, only a small section is open to the public. Not for the faint hearted (or clostraphobic!).8.Raynham Hall, Norfolk, UK Raynham Hall in Norfolk was the setting for probably the most famous ghost picture in the world taken in 1936. Legend has it that the ghost, known as the Brown Lady, is that of Lady Raynham who has imprisoned in the Hall after her husband found out she was having an affair. She was never allowed to leave the Hall and remained there until she died.9. Pripyat, UkrainePripyat is an abandoned city near where the Chernobyl disaster happened, the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. Once home to 50,000 people, for years it was deserted, but in 2002 was opened up to visitors. Although radiation levels are safe for short term exposure, this is one place I do not wish to visit. The scene of such an atrocity is not something I would like to see. Plus, the forest surrounding the power plant is now populated with wolves and bears. If the radiation doesn’t get you, they might. No thanks!10. The Bermuda TriangleThe Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is an area off the southeast coast of the USA in the Atlantic Ocean where ships, planes and people have mysteriously disappeared. In the past 100 years, it has been reported that up to 100 ships and 1,000 people have gone missing in these waters, most of which cannot be explained. Although there are many critics who believe incidents were exaggerated or inaccurately reported, many disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle remain unexplained despite investigation.

Dracula – Between myth and reality

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:28:51 +0000

Dracula or Vlad the Impaler was the son of Vlad Dracul (1436-1442; 1443-1447) and grandson of Mircea the Old (1386-1418). Vlad Dracul was dubbed a knight of the Dragon Order by the Hungarian king. All the members of the order had a dragon on their coat of arms, and that is what brought him the nickname of Dracul (the Devil). Vlad the Impaler used to sign himself Draculea or Draculya – the Devil’s son -, a name which was distorted into Dracula.Dracula’s renown reached the West through the Saxons from the Transylvanian towns of Brasov (Kronstadt) and Sibiu (Hermannstadt), who often gave shelter to those who claimed the Wallachian throne. In order to escape the peril of losing his throne, Vlad would punish the Saxons. Sibiu and the neighbouring area were pillaged and burnt down by Vlad, and many Saxons were impaled. The same happened to the Saxon merchants who came on business to Târgoviste.In fact, Vlad was called Tepes (the Impaler) only after his death (1476). He ruled in Wallachia between 1456-1462 and in 1476. In 1462, having been defeated by the Turks, Vlad took refuge in Hungary. In 1476, with the help of the Hungarian king Matia Corvin and the Moldavian prince Stephen the Great, Vlad took over the Wallachian throne again for a month. A battle followed, during which Vlad was killed. His body was buried in the church of the Snagov Monastery, on an island near Bucharest. His body lies in front of the altar. In 1935, a richly dressed but beheaded corpse was exhumed at Snagov, a fate known to have overtaken Dracula, whose head was supposedly wrapped, perfumed and dispatched as a gift to the Turkish sultan.They say that impalling was one of Dracula’s favourite punishments, but he was not the only one who made use of it at the time. Other German and Spanish princes would do the same. He used the method for boyars, thieves and criminals, Turks, Saxons and those who conspired against him; more than once it happened that a whole forest of sharp stakes with enemies’ heads would rise around Târgoviste, the capital of Wallachia at the time.Horrified by these atrocities, the Saxons printed books and pamphlets in which they told about Vlad’s cruelty. These booklets also reached Germany and Western Europe, where Dracula became known as a bloody tyrant.In 1897, the Irish writer Bram Stoker published Dracula, which made Vlad the Impaler famous world-wide. Stoker read the stories about Dracula printed in the 15th and 16th centuries and was struck by his acts of cruelty. He decided to make him his character; he also read several books about Transylvania (a name of Latin origin, meaning “the country beyond the forests”), and thought that this “exotic” land would make a proper setting for Dracula’s deeds.In fact, Stoker used Vlad only as a source of inspiration, since in his novel, Dracula is not prince Vlad the Impaler, but a Transylvanian count living in a mysterious castle where he lured his victims. His story takes place in the Bistritza area, and the castle lies near the Bârgau Pass (in the Carpathian Mountains). As Stoker had never visited Transylvania, most places and happenings were pure fiction.Legend and true history about Dracula intermingle and are being kept alive by tourist destinations like the Monastery of Snagov near Bucharest, or Bran Castle near Brasov
