Thank you kindly.
Yes, the wolf-haunted forests are still abundant in this area, in spite of the ever growing non-sapiens population. But, while wolves still firmly hold on to their domains, the bears have almost become rarities, while lynxes and forest bisons have been gone for many decades. Well, on the bright side, we do still have plenty of caves crawling with bats here - not to mention one of the largest remaining populations of black vipers in Europe.
There is little in the way of impresive medieval castles and monasteries in this part of the country. The land is even now, for the most part, rugged and unwellcoming to people. Most traces of the past here are discrete, ussually hidden in caves and ancient river beds. Some are very, very old, from paleolithic times. Others are medieval left-overs... but the most famous site is a stone-age town belonging to a pre indo-european culture (Vinca) that seems to have widely worshiped wolves in those late totemic times (along with the "new" mother-deities). So, yes, the region does have it's charms (most modern day human dwellings not included!).
