The ,,Tunnel of Love,, the explosion of color on the banks of the Bega in Timisoara(RO)
Hello travelers
In Romania spring makes its presence felt in different ways but the most important is that nature is slowly coming back to life.
In the last few days we've had a mix of bad and nice weather (here I mean we've had rain showers, but also sunny spells), so I've had some time to spend on my phone, in the last few days I've had hundreds of pictures of Timisoara.
What can be so special about this city?
It is a historic city with historic buildings, but it also has a great advantage having the Bega canal, that is the Bega river passes through the city center, in recent years on this canal has developed an interesting mode of public transportation, if you are in Timisoara and want to have a different kind of trip you can opt for a boat trip on the Bega river (some time ago I had this experience here in the center of Timisoara and if you want to see it you can find it here).
But that's not what today's blog is about, also there online I saw a lot of news about the "Tunnel of Love" in Timisoara, including on TV I saw many reports with this place, the pictures of this Tunnel of Love looked like a fairy tale, and you know how I am, I really want to see if reality is the same as what I saw on TV.
So, a few days after I saw the information about this Tunnel of Love, I got in the car and set off for Timisoara, a drive of about an hour and a quarter (now it depends on how crowded the city is, as we are going right in the center of Timisoara).
I was very lucky that I didn't look very hard for a parking place for my car, I even found one very close to this Tunnel of Love.
I was so anxious, but also curious to see how it is in reality, but by then, after a few steps from where we left the car, we saw that we were close to a station where we could take the boat for a ride on the Bega river, unfortunately the boats were very crowded, so we decided to try later.
To get to the tunnel of love we had to cross the Mihai Viteazul bridge and after not five minutes we see in front of us this so-called tunnel of love.
What is this tunnel of love?
The Tunnel of Love is actually a not very wide sidewalk with a bike path next to it that stretches along the Bega river and on the edges of the sidewalk are planted hundreds of ornamental trees, initially I thought they were Japanese cherry trees, but they are not, they are a very interesting kind of ornamental trees.
You can see that this place was massively publicized, there were so many people that I could hardly take a few pictures, but no picture without someone appearing in it, hehe.
I am very excited about what I found here, so much pink color, but I can't even describe how beautiful it smelled here (I think there were magnolias around), everyone was happy to be here (the beauty of this place is temporary, it only lasts a few days), some of the young people were even sitting on the grass for a coffee, a true spectacle of nature.
After about half an hour spent in this tunnel of love we chose to take a few steps on the streets in the center of Timisoara, so we saw the city hall building and the Banatul Philharmonic (a very important building) and then we stopped a little bit in the Rozelor Park.
Dear visitors, today I stop here, I hope you will enjoy the place I have shared with you here.
THE END!
