Ecotourism in Gurghiu mountains...

Hello 2 all, in this topic I will tell you about Ecotourism in Gurghiu Mountains. Gurghiu Mountains are a mountain group of Moldavian-Transylvanian Carpathians, the mountain chain of the Eastern Carpathians, here you will find a village named Lapusna, where is the faimous Lapusna Castle. In the next lines I will explain you why I think that the castle could be a important ecotourism center in this district.

Lapusna Castle was owned by King Carol II. This was the favorite hunting place of the royal family of Romania, the house of Habsburg, and then, even the Ceausescu family. All these used to establish the headquarters during the hunting picturesque Castle Lapusna. After 1989, often came here to hunt Ion Tiriac, Prince Dimitrie Sturdza, who were joined by various American and European hunters. The entire area has become famous after many hunters here they have set world records in trophies carpathian brown bear, black goats and deer. In total, there were obtained more than 300 gold medals for hunting trophies. Castle Lapusna is composed of 7 building with 35 rooms and a park in the area of 4 hectares.

I expect from you opinions..., what do you think, could be Lapusna Castle a ecotourism center for Mures district????
