Sinaia y Rasnov Fortress


 Its 17th-century Sinaia Monastery was once a royal family residence.

Sinaia-Rasnov = 46 min


“Rasnov Fortress”
Rasnov Fortress (Rosenau in German), is located on a rocky hilltop in the Carpathian Mountains, 650 ft. above the town of Rasnov. First mentioned in an official document in 1331, the fortress was built by Teutonic Knights as protection against invading Tartars and was later enlarged by the local Saxon population. Strategically located on the commercial route linking the provinces of Transylvania and Walachia, Rasnov differs from other Saxon fortresses in that it was designed as a place of refuge over extended periods of time. As such, it had at least 30 houses, a school, a chapel and other buildings more commonly associated with a village.

Opcional, hay una cueva cerca de Rasnov: Valea Cetatii

Bran Castle

Rasnov-Bran = 11 min

Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and perched high atop a 200-foot-high rock, Bran Castle owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stocker’s Dracula.

Built on the site of a Teutonic Knights stronghold dating from 1212, the castle was first documented in an act issued by Louis I of Hungary on November 19, 1377, giving the Saxons of Kronstadt (Brasov) the privilege to build the Citadel.
Although Stoker never visited Transylvania, the Irish author relied on research and his vivid imagination to create the dark and intimidating stomping ground of Count Dracula, leading to persistent myths that it was once the home of Vlad Tepes, ruler of Walachia. While the association with Dracula is sketchy at best, the castle continues to hold a strong attraction for all fans of the Count.

Transfagarasan Highway

El camino es lo bonito como 4 horas pero todo el dia con paradas


The Transfagarasan was built under the orders of leader Nicolae Ceausescu who wanted to create a safe passage across the Fagaras Mountains in case the Soviets invaded. Construction of the road took four years, from 1970-74 and required 6 kilograms (6,6000 tons) of dynamite.
The Transfagarasan Road is 150km long and takes 3.5-4 hours to drive, without stopping. Chances are that you will want to stop though, at least a few times, to just drink in the view. Count on adding at least an hour or two to your driving time.
TV Show Top Gear proclaimed it “The Best Driving Road in the World”
Stops:
– Balea Waterfall. With a height of 60m, it’s one of the largest waterfalls in Romania
– Lake Balea is a glacier lake at the highest point of the Transfagarasan Road at an altitude of 2,034m
– Capra Tunnel. Located at the highest point of the Transfagarasan Road, this tunnel is 890m long and it’s definitely one of the most intimidating parts of the drive
– The Vidraru Dam is one of the largest hydroelectric dams in Europe
