Muntenia eastwards from Bucharest
| Muntenia eastwards from Bucharest is little known. Yet, it is a paradise for the lover of nature. Oil and natural gas come by themselves to the surface, without being exploited, as in ancient times. At times, one cannot believe his eyes: isolated sources of gas burn all the time, spears and sausages can be grilled at no cost. The erosion of the salt hoes has given them free lane. Noble wines thrive on the sunny hillsides, which are pressed expertedly, while most of the hills are covered by many derricks. Very old churches carved in stone and streams that carry at times big pieces of amber: one feels part of the Arabian Nights.
