Transylvania Ultra Mountain Run
The Transylvania Ultra was on my to-run list for a long time and in 2019 I was finally able to participate thanks to Zugspitz Marathon qualification.

Transylvania (German: Siebenbürgen) is a historic region in central Romania, surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains. It is famous for its picturesque landscapes with forests, castles, and medieval towns such as Brașov, Sibiu, and Cluj-Napoca. Transylvania is closely linked to the Transylvanian Saxons, who settled there in the 12th century, and to numerous fortified churches, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The region is also internationally known for the legend of Count Dracula and Bran Castle.
