 The road down.... by Mique
In summer i think you can hitchhike this part easily i think but in october we met only 3 or 4 cars going the opposite way.
Along the way you pass Poienari castle. By some called Dracula's true castle. It was at least build on behalve of Vlad Tepes. So i guess it does have a bit more of a claim to it then Bran. You'll see 2 lakes. One huge artificial one then took us forever to go around. And a small, glacial lake close to the tunnel.
We made a tour that included Curtea de Arges, Sambata Monastery and Fagaras which took us a whole day. Tiring but very much worth it. .
Do take some food with you. We saw 2 or 3 cabanas along the way but in october there wasn't a lot of food to be got. We had left Brasov in the morning (on a cup of coffee) and had bought a pack of biscuits in Curtea de Arges. We finally got hold of some food at 5 pm. By that time we were ready to almost eat anything..... But it didn't get in our way of appreciating the surroundings...
I have just started on my Carpathians page but feel free to have a look around Leave a Comment
