Roads of Hunedoara: October, Autumn Hills, Romanian villages, a symphony of colours.

And this road trip reminded me about all these.



The meanings of some expressions suddenly become apparent.

“Rolling hills that reach to the far horizon” is one of the expressions and on this road, you could see the hills actually rolling in front of your eyes and out from the landscape, way back into the skies. So accurate - rolls and rolls of hills.

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.", as Albert Camus defines the autumn colours, and it is exactly that what you can see in front of your eyes the nature fills you up with hues and shades of yellow and green, so many that you lost count. Like a garden of flowers.

“Where the sun shines there is also shade”, as you will have a landscape peppered with long shades where the trees are in a darker green as the sun moves over the hills. This is something that I only found in Romania.

“Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths’ as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe says.

The wandering road is indeed the only one that can go everywhere and can find its way. The road in the valley like a shoelace dropped between rolling hills.

A place where the colours are so strikingly ‘autumnal’ they scream ‘autumn’ at you. Nature in greens and yellows, varieties of greens and varieties of yellows, you can smell it, you can inhale the October day through the hues of green and yellow.

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” — L.M Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

This is a drive that will take you in a place of dream, a place where you feel you are in another world.



A beauty that makes your heart grow and makes you gasp for air in amazement.
