Cârţa is a little village from Sibiu which is surrounded by the beautiful Fagaras Mountains. Even though the village has only a few residents, the place can be considered like a halt for the tourists, having a lot of guest houses and camping bases in the area. Cârţa is really small and not known by too many people, but the residents are always making sure that the appearance of the village is welcoming for the tourists, the streets being clean and full of flowers that are bringing back to life the little village forgotten by people. 🌸
Driving around on the streets from Cârţa you can cross over this place without even noticing it. I remember a few years ago when me and my family were on a roadtrip and on our way to the destination the GPS led us through this village and we were like - this is an interesting village, but without having any idea what it hides. A few years later, we are here - camping in the area and exploring the beauty you see in the picture from the left. This gem represents The Cistercian Abbey which even though there are only ruins left, the stories will never die. This place had an important role in more countries like Romania, Hungary & Germany so you will find information written in all the three languages. To visit this place you have to pay a tax though, which is 5 RON for adults (1 ,1 EURO) and 2,5 RON for children, students and retired people. (0,52 EURO) 💶
Once you enter in the garden of the Cistercian Abbey you will be surrounded by both ruins and a lot of flowers which colors the sad landscape.
While we are walking around we cross through a lot of graves where the german heroes who died in the World War II are resting. Following the path we will reach to the monastery which is known as a place where all people with physical abnormalities were sent. This is how in 1980 in the garden of the monastery were discovered the skeletons of two people which were taller than 2 meters each one of them. Pretty scary, huh? When you join the monastery you will find a little notebook next to the door where all the visitors are sending their good thoughts about this place - I really loved the idea.
In the following pictures I will show you the interior of the monastery ⛪
Personally visiting this place, I find it pretty sad knowing that there is a deep story behind all the beautiful ruins that left and we are seeing today - though, the landscape and the green fresh grass makes it a relaxing walk while we are exploring every little detail of this hidden treasure. In the picture from the right, you will see the house where the nuns are living - these taking care of this place to maintain a neat and welcoming appearance for the visitors.

you've described your trip so nicely... lovely pics and great work on the formatting :)
Thanks! I've put in a lot of effort as I slept like 10 hours in the past 3 days - so focusing on writing the article and making the coding stuff was very challenging but in the end I'm really happy with the results and the great feedback I receive, so thank you! 💚
Well, its certainly been noticed and is a job well done... Now time to catch up on the sleep!
Thank you :D yeah, I'm resting these days so the next post will be at least as good as this one :D
This Abbey must have been stunningly beautiful in the past but I'm a sucker for ruins to I love seeing the abbey holding it barely together.
It sure was :) haha, yeah. I love ruins - it's like while everything is breaking apart, the building still finds the strength to make some parts stand still and let stories remain alive :)
Thank you for the post! I really like the way how you organize the content:)
Thank you for stopping by :)

Hey what does this say?
There are historical details about the people who died in the war that are resting there now
The pictures are beautiful and very amazing
Thank you!
This village has got such ancient feels!
I know, right? But still gold stories and feelings when you walk around those ruins :)
Nice photos! You made these photos recently? It looks so summery over there in Romania. Over here it so cold D:
No haha, the trip was in August, 2017. Thanks! :)
Looks like a really beautiful place and i like the layout of your posts it makes it easy to process all the information :)
Thank youuu! Really appreciate it! :D
What a beautifully formatted post. I need to up my game after seeing this. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Great run through of your trip! What a lot of cool places to visit just in one place... Nothing like a place with so much history to browse and read up on.
Indeed :) it's also a very peaceful place
Thanks for stopping by :D
Vai, cat de bine arata postarea ta, felicitari! Nici eu nu sunt prietena cu html-ul, poate intr-o zi ma inveti si pe mine :D
Este prima data cand aud de Freepik, este complicat de folosit?
Pupici ;)
Multumesc din suflet, sigur :)
Freepik nu e greu de folosit, are o gama foarte variată de lucrări de unde poți alege ce te interesează ca sa nu mai pierzi timp in Photoshop. Doar alegi poza pe care o vrei, te joci puțin cu ea in Photoshop, precizezi sursa materialelor și aia e tot :*
It really is :) thanks for stopping by
