Experience the city of Sinaia and take a walk to Peles Castle and its "little brother" Pelisor, visit Busteni and Cantacuzino Castle (location of the Netfilx series Wednesday) or the Caraiman Monastery, the Caraiman Mountains and the Caraiman Peak / Sphinx (cable car / gondola in Romanian Telecabina, available). Not far away is Rasnov (town, fortress, Dinopark) and Törzburg (Bran, the castle of Dracula) and Brasov / Kronstadt can also be reached in a short time.

What you should not miss in Brașov ( Brasov ) is the ascent ( hiking, about 1 hour 30 minutes ) to Tampa Peak at 960 meters altitude.

Right next to the inscription BRASOV offers a wonderful view of the city and the adjacent region.

Of course, those who want to be able to go with the gondola, but in addition to costs, they have to accept very long waiting times ( on weekends ).

The city of Targu Mures (in Hungarian Marosvasarhely and in German Neumarkt am Mieresch), first mentioned in documents in 1300, is located on the Mures River (in German Mieresch, in Hungarian Maros) on the route from Brasov to Cluj-Napoca.

The village of Viscri (German: Deutsch-Weisskirch, Hungarian: Szaszfeheregyhaza) is located in the district of Brasov (Kronstadt) in Transylvania.

It lies northwest of the town/castle of Rupea (German: Reps) and southeast of the town of Sighișoara (German: Schäßburg). The village had about 700 inhabitants between the 18th and 20th centuries, mainly Transylvanian Saxons, plus a Romanian part of the village. Viscri is characterised both by the fortified church and the village structure, which was shaped by Saxon farms.

The village was founded by the Transylvanian Saxons at the end of the 12th century and was first mentioned in a document from 1185. The fortified church stands at the north-western end of the village.

We would like to thank "Schnuff" 😊 and his biker friends, who showed us a lot of new things in and about Romania on their motorcycle trip in August 2023.

Rupea Castle is located near the town of Rupea (in German: Reps), approx. 50 km from Brasov (Kronstadt) - on the way to Targu Mures - and is one of the oldest castles on Romanian territory.

https://xn--willkommen-in-rumnien-m2b.de/ | https://xn--urlaub-in-rumnien-2qb.de/

The castle was built in the 11th century and is the landmark of the town of Rupea (Reps). High above the town on Kohalm Hill (578 meters), it can be seen from afar. It was first mentioned in documents in 1324, when the Saxons fought against the King of Hungary.

Brasov (in German Kronstadt) is probably the best-known city (after Bucharest) in Romania. It is located in the historical region of Transylvania, on the northern side of the Carpathian Mountains, close to the famous castle of Count Dracula... Bran, known in German as Törzburg.

The picture shows a part of the city from above; the cable car goes up the city's "home mountain," which is especially famous worldwide for the "BRASOV" sign.

A magical road in and through the Fagaras Mountains. The Transfagarasan road connects the two historical regions of Wallachia and Transylvania in a breathtaking mountain landscape.

Currently open (probably until sometime in mid/end of October) and if you are already here, you should definitely also check out the "neighboring road," the Transalpina.

Our tip for a round trip: Sibiu (Hermannstadt) > towards Avrig / Brasov and then head south onto the Transfagarasan > Curtea de Arges, Arges County > Valcea County > Brezoi and via the Transalpina to Sebes and back to Sibiu. We recommend at least one, if not two or three overnight stays along the way.

Peles Castle is located about 1.5 kilometers northwest of the city of Sinaia, which lies on the route from Bucharest to Brasov (and of course vice versa), in the Prahova Valley, nestled between the Bucegi Mountains.

A beautiful shot of the fortified church / peasant fortress of Tartlau in Prejmer (Tartlau), Brasov County, in the Transylvania region.

The construction of the church in the center of the complex was probably started in 1218 by the Teutonic Order, which, however, was expelled from the region in 1225. Under the Cistercian monastery of Cârța, the construction was then continued. A special feature of the inventory is the late Gothic winged altar from the mid-15th century.

We thank Mrs. Daniela and Mr. Gerhard Zitzmann for the permission to use this picture.
