In 1774, the north - western part of Moldavia, namely the territory of Bucovina, became part of the Habsburg Empire. Until this year, the name Bucovina did not exist, this region being called the Upper Country of Moldova. It was only after Habsburg administration that the name Bucovina was officially adopted. At first, this name was not quickly assimilated, being used in parallel names such as Upper Land, Plonina, Cordun, or Arboroasa. The name Bucovina comes from Buchenland, which in German means the Pharaoh Country. Specifically, the name of the Bucovina area comes from the word of Slavic origin "buk", which means beech.

Really beautiful mountains. I hope I will visit them next year. This photos are like, I don't know...a cookie for me, nature lover. It is hard to resist this beauty. Did you add some background layers, of the hills that vanish in the myst, or this is the actual situation? Looks infinite :)
