Europe: Romania
Hardly any other country in Europe is burdened with so many myths and legends as Romania, especially the mysterious Carpathians. Anyone who has ever seen this impressive mountain landscape with its mist-covered primeval forests will understand why the magic of the Carpathians has already captivated so many hunters and has not let go of them again. Bears, wolves, lynxes and strong deer do their tracks there and in the Southern Carpathians there are capital chamois.
