Highlights
What You Can Expect
We pick you up from your location in Brasov at 8:30 to start an authentic 2-day adventure program in Transylvanian Alps, driving on Transfagarasan Highway as know as "the Road to the Sky", "the Road to the Clouds", "the Best Driving Road in the World" and even "A spectacular Monument to Earth-Moving Megalomania"!
Transfagarasan road is open between July 1 - October 31! Poienari Fortress is closed Monday and Tuesday from 1st of October until further notice.
We hike to Balea Waterfall - the highest step-waterfall in Romania, more than 60 meters tall. We visit Balea Lake, Vidraru Dam, Poienari Fortress, the real Vlad Tepes' Residential Castle - access to the citadel is made by climbing the 1,480 concrete stairs.
We hike on the epic Stan's Gorge – 4 hours hiking trip on an impressive canyon with ladders and via ferrata or we hike on the main ridge of Fagaras Mountains starting from Balea Lake for about 4-6 hours.
We choose the hike depending on the weather forecast.
