In 1998, when Charles, Print de Wales, the first visit to Romania, the year of the Tigaretta scandal, and the first large privatizations, no one suspected that his Highness would, some years later, lobby for our country and even buy more many properties here. In Covasna County, at 70 km from Sfantu Gheorghe, in the village of Valea Zalanului, there is the "corner of heaven" where the heir of the British crown spends a few days each year, while the houses of the prince are open to the public for the rest of the time. Included in the top of the "best private paradise" by Vanity Fair, the guest houses of the prince are an attraction for many foreign tourists who travel hundreds of miles to spend a royal night in Romania.

To reach the Zalan Valley, the "asphalt" village, where only 120 inhabitants have their own simple life, in small houses painted in blue and kept from generation to generation, you have to go through the "woodland". With every minute you sneak in the woods - because in the country people do not measure the way in kilometers, but in the course of time - break up from the everyday reality and walk into a totally different world, as if it was a part of the stories we read when we were kids.

In the Valley of Zalan or "Valea Zapacitului", as the locals call it, the notion of time seems to disappear. A place where the Internet and Facebook seem somewhat fuzzy from science fiction films for most of the village, and the phone signal has been missing until recently. A single network has coverage in the area, but the locals are upset that the antenna is installed just at the entrance to the village, affecting its image. So they are taking steps to move that antenna.

Currently, at the school in the village he studies seven children, and at the kindergarten one. There has not been a baptism of five years ago, and a wedding for more than a decade. That's because most of the young people leave this village at the "end of the world" in favor of a city life.

Barna Preda is one of the few who chose to stay where she was born. He is 24 years old and has set up the first museum in the village, the Village Museum, right in the home where he and his grandfather were born.

How to see the Zalan Valley in the foreign press
"Valea Zalanului village is traditional without being outdated, it is stylish without being ostentatious. And the region where it is located has to be one of the most beautiful, pastoral and fascinating in Europe, "British journalist Andrew Bridge said in a report for the British newspaper The Telegraph," following the footsteps of the Prince of Wales. "

Thanks to Prince Charles, the Zalan Valley, or Zalanpatak, he arrived in the Daily Mail, which notes that "four hours northwest of Bucharest, at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, there was a redecorated stall with the royal insignia of the prince Wales, painted on the baskets on the roof. "
