King Charles and his relationship with Transylvania

King Charles III, also known as Prince Charles, has a remarkable connection to Transylvania, a historic region in Romania. His connection to the region is both historical and personal.

Historically, King Charles is believed to be the 16-fold great-grandson of Vlad III Drăculea via Queen Mary, the wife of King George V. Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad Dracula, was a notorious 15th century ruler known for his brutal battles against the Ottoman Empire. His first name served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous book about the vampire count.

Personally, King Charles has a deep affection for Transylvania and visits the region regularly. He enjoys hiking in the mountains and painting near his home in Viscri (Deutsch-Weißkirch). He has spoken several times about relaxing in the Carpathians and has said that the country is in his blood.

King Charles has also taken an active role in promoting awareness of the importance of the few remaining areas of ancient woodland in Europe. He has worked tirelessly to promote awareness of the protection of important wild spaces, higher conservation standards, sustainable agriculture and the well-being of the population.

His main task as king is to hand over the monarchy to the next generation in a sustainable way. He favours unity and integration. Multi-faith Britain will be represented in the Christian service. He is a bridge builder for Great Britain. That was also the clear message of his state visit to Germany.

He credibly stands for relevant issues. First and foremost is his decades-long commitment to the environment. This arose out of a vacuum, the long wait for the throne. Charles is a person of substance. He has sought out topics to fulfil his role as crown prince in a meaningful way. He was often criticised for this. Today he is an authority in the field of environmental protection, also from the point of view of young people.

Overall, Prince Charles has had a significant impact on Transylvania, both through his personal connection to the region and through his efforts to support and promote the area.

Mysterious Transylvania

Gothic cemetery in Transylvania – eerie crypts and tombstones

Gothic cemetery, Transylvania

Transylvania is surrounded by densely forested mountains of the Carpathians like a huge castle created by nature. This region is home to medieval towns and unspoilt villages.

But behind this idyllic facade lies a dark secret that terrifies the locals. For Transylvania is also home to vampires, the sinister creatures of the night that feed on the blood of the living.

What sounds like fantasy and fiction is actually a real place, a region in central Romania. In the Transylvanian forests, there are secrets and magic that seem to be out of this world. Faint lights glow between the trees, eerie, whispering voices can be heard on the wind. Travellers who have ventured too deep into the forest have never been seen again…

The Gothic cemeteries full of eerie crypts and tombs may harbour the remains of undead creatures. The mysterious and magical symbols on the tombstones show the fear of the population and their attempt to block the path of the sinister, cruel beings into our world.

Nature conservation, climate protection, preservation and expansion of the original flora and fauna of Transylvania

Nature conservation and climate protection in Transylvania

Nature conservation project, Transylvania

You are supporting a special nature and animal conservation project in Transylvania. We plant native deciduous trees – original tree species such as robinia, oak and maple. We are actively committed to the protection of flora and fauna. The land for our land donations may not be used commercially.

This means that trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers, herbs, mosses and fungi can develop undisturbed. At the same time, the fauna also develops with numerous different species: Insects, reptiles, amphibians as well as small mammals and birds find a safe habitat here.

The property's own spring and the stream on the property round off this habitat. They provide undisturbed access for all the fauna from the surrounding area and the opportunity to obtain fresh, clear spring and mountain water. This is particularly important during the long, hot and dry Transylvanian summers.

Roe deer, deer, foxes, wild boar, badgers, martens, frogs, toads and amphibians, small rodents and reptiles such as lizards and slow worms from the surrounding woodland areas make use of this opportunity and regularly visit the fresh water source.

This project actively contributes to the preservation and expansion of valuable ecosystems.
