Description
Join us for an unforgettable journey through Romania and natural wonders in the beautiful Făgăraș Mountains.
Begin your day with Poenari Fortress, an ancient stronghold dramatically perched on a cliffside. You will get impressive views from below and learn about its history as one of the real-life strongholds of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula (we do not visit the interior of the castle).
Next, marvel at the engineering feat of Vidraru Dam, one of the highest in Europe, and the stunning Vidraru Lake it created. Take in the AWE-Inspiring Vistas as you stroll along the dam and capture views of the mountains reflected in the Sparkling Lake.
Venture into the heart of the Fagaras Mountains National Park, a region of unspoiled nature, lush forests, and alpine landscapes. This area is a paradise for nature lovers, offering a glimpse of Romania's pristine wilderness and various wildlife (brown bears).
Continue your adventure at Capra Waterfall, one of the scenic highlights of the region.
The Capra Waterfall is known for its impressive height and picturesque setting, making it a popular spot for visitors who enjoy mountain landscapes and outdoor activities. The surrounding area is also rich in natural beauty, with rugged terrain, alpine meadows, and dramatic views of the surrounding mountains.
Next is Balea Glcaial Lake (the place of view on the winding road) open only during the summer and early autumn months, typically open from June to mid October. This is because the top part of the road, leading from Capra Waterfall to Bâlea Lake (8 km) it is closed in winter and spring due to snow and dangerous weather conditions.
