This military themed hotel accommodation in Romania brings out heavy ordnance
The Howitzer Room in Transylvania is unique in the world: here, overnight guests immediately have the feeling of being at the front line! Most of the room is occupied by a gun that aims with the tube from the slit-shaped window and whose mount has been converted into an original bed.
The military ambience is accentuated by appropriate wall decorations and typical army furnishing elements. But the martial impression is deceptive: there is neither danger nor the thunder of guns at night from the discarded gun barrel. After strenuous adventure activities or strenuous military training in the adjacent theme park, a restful and peaceful sleep is guaranteed.
The howitzer room is one of the special overnight stays in a military theme park near Sibiu in Romania, which is unparalleled in its kind in Europe.
During the Second World War, the site was the second largest ammunition producer in Europe, and even in Communist times it was considered the most heavily guarded place in the country.
Since its opening in 2009, the amusement park for adventurous leisure warriors and experienced contemporaries has become popular as far as China as a destination for active holidays and teambuilding and is fully booked for groups months in advance.
The resort's own 3-star hotel can accommodate a total of 230 guests. Eccentric tourists have the choice between simple officers' quarters and unusual quarters such as underground bunkers, howitzer rooms or armoured infantry fighting vehicles in which they can stay in style. Without having to do without the amenities of a hotel.
Real adventurers and recreational warriors always push to be in the front line. This is exactly where you find yourself as soon as you open the door to one of the four howitzer rooms. An original night camp on a gun mount, while the gun barrel protrudes threateningly from the sight slit. It's hard to get any closer to what's happening.
A comfortable mattress offers enough space for two people not to get too close together - unless you wish. The stimulating invitation of the Romanian poet Păunescu "Iubiţi-vă pe tunuri!" "("Make love on the cannons") could be taken literally here. The howitzer rooms, in total four can be booked, are equipped with television, heating and a private bathroom.
With around 150 military exhibits, the outdoor area houses the largest military open-air museum in Romania, including tracked tanks, anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers, military vehicles, or even a military train and a combat helicopter.
The military park covers an area of 88 hectares and offers about 12 km of trails in the middle of a deciduous forest for various activities. There are countless activities to choose from, ranging from the adrenaline kick of a power jump (variant of bungee jumping) from the water tower to exciting rides in tracked vehicles to recreational relaxation in the newly built aqua park with 7 pools.
Attractions await even the youngest, for whom an activity park for children and young people up to 13 years of age has recently been set up.
Skaters and cyclists have access to a skate park and 16 different cycle tracks. If you want to go high, you can prove yourself on the climbing course. The six routes are color-coded according to the level of difficulty. On the most dangerous, the red marked one, one climbs up to 20 meters height. The 600-metre long rope slide (Zipline), with which you can race down from a height of 45 metres, is also popular.
There is also an artificial ice rink, tennis courts, game rooms, mini golf, a fitness room and the possibility of military training under real conditions. This also includes shooting training with real ammunition. You can improve your aiming skills in archery or in a group with paintball or airsoft rifles simulating an indoor guerrilla fight with a helmet and full camouflage.
Those who still have enough energy in the evening can watch a film in the open air cinema, visit the program in the amphitheatre or exchange stories around the campfire. It's time for barbecues, music and fun. The culmination of an eventful day full of sport and adventure is the dinner in the "Officer's mess". The park restaurant with two terraces and field seating offers healthy and inexpensive food.
