History and Legends
The Legend of Pestera Ialomitei (Ialomita Cave)
Ages and ages ago, in ancient times a mighty and cruel wizard lived in Bucegi. The Legend of Pestera Ialomitei (Ialomita Cave)
The Legend of Caraiman Mountain
This lofty mountain – part of the Bucegi chain – shows up dark and menacing, with its mighty cliffs looking like an ancient warder of these lands.The Legend of Caraiman Mountain
The Brancoveanu Family Legend
A very touching legend – which records actually a historically true story – tells us about the tragic end of the Brancoveanu family, Constantin Brancoveanu being one of the most famous Romanian rulers (“voievod” or “domnitor” in Romanian). There were popular songs and ballads telling the when and how of it, in a very touching way because Brancoveanu and his four sons’ death was a symbolic act at that time, which impressed his people.The Brancoveanu Family Legend
The legend of Rusalii
Charming, whimsical and revengeful, weird characters, like no others in the European mythology, without being mischievous nor good-hearted, Rusalcele can be seen sailing through the sky or in the forest, being the souls of the girls who died young and the daughters of Rusalim Emperor. Their dance in circle, in the air or in the forest’s openings, is so gracious that every mortal desires to see it, though the punishment is terrible.The legend of Rusalii
