A picture from early May 2025 with a view of Bran Castle (in German Törzburg), the home castle of Dracula 😊

https://welcome-to-romania.com | https://urlaub-in-rumänien.de

According to the main character of the book "Dracula" by the Irish author Bram Stoker, the castle is considered "the home" of this vampire. It's not really true, but from a tourist perspective, Bran Castle is one of the most developed attractions in Romania. Buses bring, especially in the summer months, almost every nationality in the world to this place.

The village of Viscri (in German: Deutsch-Weisskirch, in Hungarian: Szaszfeheregyhaza) is located in Brașov County, Transylvania.

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

The village was founded at the end of the 12th century by Transylvanian Saxons and was first mentioned in documents in 1185. At the northwestern end of the village stands the fortified church.

In the 12th century, before the arrival of the German settlers, the Székelys (a Hungarian-speaking ethnic group in eastern Transylvania) built a small Romanesque hall church here. In the 13th century, the church was expanded. After the first Turkish invasions, the church was fortified in the 14th century and a defensive wall with towers was built.

Marienburg from Feldioara (Romanian name of Marienburg) is a medieval castle of the Teutonic Order in the region of Transylvania in the district of Brașov.

https://xn--willkommen-in-rumnien-m2b.de/ | https://welcome-to-romania.com

The castle offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area and the mountains of Brașov (German name: Kronstadt), it is located at approx. 20 kilometers away from Brașov on the way to Sighișoara (in German: Schäßburg) and was built on a hill (almost 500 meters above sea level).

In 1211 King Andrew II called. from Hungary The Teutonic Knights in support of the Kumans in the country to secure the eastern border of his growing kingdom. The king granted them many privileges, including immunity, the right to self-government, and the construction of stone fortresses to ensure the environment. In 1838, the city of Marienburg (Romanian name: Feldioara) was severely destroyed by an earthquake. Between 2013 and 2017, the ruins of the castle were renovated and largely rebuilt.

Shortly after leaving Brasov in the direction of Sinaia (Bucharest), turn left towards the Sapte Scari (Seven Ladders) gorge.

It is a good hour's walk to the gorge or the seven ladders, which is lined by a stream with clear, cold water and lots of nature. Even if you don't enter the gorge via the ladders (there's a charge, another three hours' walk!), the hike there and back is definitely beautiful.

For the hike: sturdy footwear is highly recommended. In places, you walk over tree trunks, small wooden bridges and loose stones or you walk directly in the stream bed or on a stony path. You should definitely take something to drink with you.
