Wild Carpathia Trailer featuring HRH The Prince Of Wales.wmv

Join Charlie Ottley as he ventures deep into the breath-taking but little known mountains and forests of Carpathia. Home to bears, wolves and the elusive Lynx and little known to the rest of the world, this is perhaps the last great wilderness in Europe, seen as never before. We will provide you with a unique insight into the beauty and rich culture of the region exploring its chequered history from the mystical ruins of the ancient Dacian civilisations to its medieval communities, many of which survive intact to this day. In his quest to find remote villages, cross mountains and spot bears in the wild, Charlie meets a dedicated group of individuals whose passion for this area is helping to redefine its importance as one of the great surviving wonders of the natural world. These include a Transylvanian count who is working to conserve some of the most ancient of Carpathia's medieval villages and His Royal Highness Prince Charles, who can trace his ancestry back to Romania's dark and distant past. Wild Carpathia captures the fragile majesty of a unique eco-system and shows why it deserves to be preserved in all its glory for the benefit of future generations and the survival of Europe's most endangered carnivores. The full program will show on Travel Channel via European satellite networks on October 30th at 8.00, for more info http://www.travelchannel.co.uk/series...

"Where does Romania get its name? From the Romans."

True. The name of our country comes from Latin. Romania means "land of the Romans" and Transylvania means "the land beyond the forest".

"Analysis of the genetic distance between Romanians and other Europeans who have been studied serologically are consistent with the hypothesis that Romanians descend from Roman ancestors who colonized Dacia"

I find it slightly funny how it's supposed to be a tool for Romania promoting its tourism... but it's called Carpathia... he said it himself: Carpathia is the size of Britain, which is much larger than Romania. Will he be traveling to the Ukrainian, Hungarian, Slovakian, Polish or Serbian Carpathians? I somehow doubt it :)

What the Hell is "Medievel Landscape"??.....of all the pretentious, fool terms....I am from 'brand new, technological' West Canada, and which is still 100 times wilder, mountainous and larger....besides, i want a travelogue, not another arrogant Brit.

Te egy helikopterről szállsz le a tetején, én a saját erőm segítségével jutok fel a csúcsra. Te csak egy vendég vagy ott, én viszont hazatérek. Te csak egy részét látod az egésznek én viszont a teljes képet bejárom. Te úgy mutatod meg mintha egy nagy és boldog ország része lenne, én tudom hogy nem az. A Kárpátok rengeteg kincset rejt, annak aki megérdemli, és nem mindenki érdemli meg. Nekem nincs helikopterem, sem drága kamerám, csak magam vagyok és az emlékezetem...

Thumbs up. But we are Dacians. Old Dacia was only 14% under the Roman Empire and for only 164 years. So....
