1. Cetatea Râșnov

A peasant refuge fortress on Fortress Hill that in more than 300 years fell only once — not in battle, but when its water spring was cut off. It has a 146 m well dug over 17 years, houses and a chapel from 1650, and one of the widest panoramas over Țara Bârsei.

20 km · 33 min · 2–3 h
DetailsNavigate3. Piața Sfatului

The point from which all of Brașov's distances are measured, with Turnul Trâmbițașilor keeping watch from 50 metres up and colourful façades that recall the era of the great fairs. An unmissable stop, a short distance from Râșnov.
