About us

Welcome to Mălâncrav – a picturesque village in the heart of Transylvania, where nature, tradition, and history come together in perfect harmony.

We, Tobias and Anneliese, have a deep connection to this special region and would love to share our passion for this place with you. I, Tobias, spent my early childhood here before my parents emigrated with me to Germany. Yet, Mălâncrav has always remained a part of me – every summer, I would return, enjoying nature and experiencing the close-knit village community. Anneliese was born and raised here, living in Mălâncrav until the age of 23, when she moved to Germany with me after our wedding.

Our strong bond with Mălâncrav eventually led us to take a big step – purchasing a piece of land, the first move toward making our dream a reality. In 2014, we began building our own log house, pouring our hearts into every detail. We wanted to create a place where we could reconnect with our roots and our love for nature. It was a long journey, but with dedication, patience, and a lot of hard work, we made it happen.

Today, we live in Germany with our three children, but a part of our hearts will always belong to Malmkrog. Every time we return, we feel that deep connection all over again – to nature, to the community, and to the unique atmosphere of this place.

For us, our log house is more than just a second home – it is a passion project that we want to share with others. It’s a retreat for anyone looking to experience untouched nature, embrace the tranquility, and discover the fascinating culture of Transylvania.

Here, you can unplug, recharge, and simply enjoy the moment – without sacrificing modern comfort. If you’re searching for a special place that blends nature, history, and heartfelt hospitality, then look no further.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mălâncrav!
