Valea Cetății Cave Râșnov
liliana91 Says: Also, close to Râșnov. The cave, was not too big, but is still active. I personally enjoy the road to cave. You will have to leave your car in the parking, and walk about 500m to the cave.. I suggest you to walk on the large road when you go to cave, and take the...
liliana91 Says: Near Râșnov, you can find 3 ski jumping hills with K point at 15m, 35m and 64m. Also, it will be built another one, with K point at 90m. so, they are not huge, but is a nice place to visit near sunset..you'll have an lovely view.If you have the luck to visit them during...
liliana91 Says: Quite beautiful, but the view from this Citadel it's amazing...You can basically, see everything around it, and we love it.. A must see while you're in Râșnov.I remember we paid 10 Ron, but the students(Romanian) and kids can pay only half price.
IreneMcKay Says: There was a verypleasant cafe on the main road right next to the bus stop. We had a drink here because we were thirsty but also so we could wait in comfort for the bus. we paid in advance so we could just leap on any bus that turned up. The cafe also served food but we did...
IreneMcKay Says: The main reason to visit Rasnov is to go to the fortress. You get to Rasnov by taking a bus from Brasov bus station number 2. It costs 3.50 Ron. You can get to the fortress by walking up the main road towards it from the bus stop, then passing through an archway with a...
Temporary closure of Rasnov Castle
kfyew Says: We went to Rasnov on 23-Apr-2010 and the locals told us it was closed since few months ago due to come walls collapsed. No timeline was given when it will be fixed. We managed to hike up the hill until the castle entrance until some security guard shows up and stop us.
antistar Says: As you approach the castle from Rasnov you will most likely see it framed along with the lovely Evangelical Church. It's a Prostetant church, so you can bet it was built by the long gone German settlers that once dominated this area. It's also the last Saxon church remaining...
antistar Says: The castle in Rasnov is so fantastic it deserves several tips of its own, but I shall limit myself to just one.The castle was built upon the hill in the 13th century by Teutonic knights, and when you see it's commanding position it will be no surpirse that it was only...
Vanity666 Says: From the fortress is a great view on the surrounding woods and city
Vanity666 Says: A skeleton of a dead guy, found in one of the dungeons below the fortress. You can only watch it through the glass. A pity, because I always wanted to touch a real skeleton....
Vanity666 Says: There is a myth attached to Râşnov Fortress. During a particularly long siege of the fortress, the citizens of Râşnov were concerned about the lack of available fresh drinking water. Two Turkish soldiers, having been captured earlier, were put to the task of...
Vanity666 Says: Nice backyard with many poles for flags. I guess there is where the knight tournaments were held.
Vanity666 Says: I don't think this cage is meant for holding birds as a pets.
IreneMcKay Says: The bus to Bran passes throught Rasnov first. e went by this bus. There was the choice of several other buses from other places coming back.
antistar Says: The bus to and from Brasov takes about 30 minutes and is a very cheap, and sometimes rough ride. It's variable: one bus was clean, comfy and air-conditioned, the other was a rust bucket with seats and a suspension that was as hard as rock.The main problem you might have with...
yumyum Says: Outside the big cities you may still see horse-drawn carriages. This one came along the street leading up to the town square.
antistar Says: If it's not bears, it's wasps. There were hundreds of them on the hill and around the castle at the end of August. I nearly stepped on at least one nest that was built into the steps up to the castle. Some of them can be really annoying. I suggest wearing peppermint oil and...
Vanity666 Says: It is very slippery up there so be careful not to break a leg or arm. And wear shoes with good soles, because I had to drag my girlfriend all the way there because she couldn't walk, just sliding.
yumyum Says: Rasnov on a Sunday afternoon looks rather quiet even in the center. There is a small park on the town square with a few benches. I liked the town with is typical low buildings and wooden doors. The town life seems to be tucked away in the yards hidden behind those half round...
yumyum Says: On the main street leading to the church and town square there is a tourist office. When we were there on a Sunday it was closed.
