At this time of year the fields of the Romanian countryside are full of new haystacks. Over the centuries this particular method of haystack building has become more refined to the point where the haystacks of Romania have their own unique characteristics. Haystacks like this are found nowhere else on earth.
It is of absolute importance to get the haystack just right. In the past, without the extra food supply to see them through the cold Romanian winter, vital farm animals would have perished. If the haystack is compromised then disaster could strike. Great care, then, has always been taken in the construction of these stacks, some of which tower over four meters in height.
