Newsroom 09/07/2012 | 11:11

Prince Charles appears in “Wild Carpathia,” a documentary released last year, presenting some of the most beautiful landscapes of the Carpathian Mountains. This documentary describes Transylvania as a mythical and legendary place, where wild animals such as wolves, bears or lynx transform the Romanian Carpathians area into the last great wilderness in Europe.

The international press considers Prince Charles an outspoken advocate of Romania, who already has two properties in the Valea Zalanului village, Covasna County, including a century-old house which he completely renovated. During his private visits to Romania prince Charles is a guest of Baron Kalnoky Tibor at his manor of Miclosoara, built in the 16th century.

In order to help Transylvania inhabitants to preserve their historical monuments, Prince Charles has been involved in the rehabilitation of several Saxon villages from twelfth century, some of which included in the UNESCO heritage.
