EN: Vatra Dornei rail station during a summer heat wave. To be honest I expected more. The town is nice, pretty German in terms of architecture, and its infrastructure upgraded (in progress at the time of filming, September 2023). A pity a tourist hotspot like Vatra Dornei merely has any rail connections during summer.
OK, maybe during winter it's more popular as all ski resorts are open, but during summer, it's a mineral baths that attract most tourists. The only problem is that these baths are not public. You'd have to have a recommendation from a medic to attend to such baths and even so, from what I've heard, the facilities are old, outdated, out of repairs.
So much potential wasted through fake populism. "Vatra Dornei strategic tourist hotspot", "Vatra Dornei on the map of tourism". To be honest... nobody comes here. Nobody knows of it and if it knew of it, what can you do?
So what can you do in Vatra Dornei?
Leave.
RO: Gara Vatra Dornei in timpul unei zile calde de vara. Sa fiu sincer, m-am asteptat la mai mult. Orasul e minunat, destul de nemtesc in arhitectura, iar infrastructura modernizata (ma rog, lucrarile erau in desfasurare la momentul filmarii, septembrie 2023). E mare pacat ca o atractie turistica precum Vatra Dornei abia de are cateva conexiuni feroviare vara.
In fine, poate iarna sunt mai multe, cum statiunile de schi sunt toate deschise, dar vara, sunt baile minerale care atrag turisti. SIngura problema este ca aceste bai nu sunt publice. Trebuie sa ai recomandare de la medic ca sa poti merge la bai, si si cu recomandare, din ce am auzit, dai de niste bai invechite, slab mentinute, cu stricaciuni de la trecerea timpului.
Atat de mult potential irosit cu populism ieftin. "Vatra Dornei destinatie turistica strategica", "Vatra Dornei pe harta turismului". Sa fiu sincer... nimeni nu prea vine pe-aici. Nimeni nu stie de Vatra Dornei si chiar de ar sti, ce ar putea face?
Sa pleci poate.
