Famous for its beautiful towers, the Curtea de Arges monastery has a dark story behind it. It is also the place where Romanian kings are buried. Your guide will tell you all the legends and the true history of this place. The next stop on the way to Transfagarasan will be the Poenari fortress.

Poenari fortress, the ruins of Vlad the Impaler’s castle, stands on the top of the mountain as a guard of the Transfagarasan. It is considered the real castle of Dracula. The view from the castle is spectacular, but to get there you must climb 1400 stairs. Sometimes the fortress is closed for visits because of the bears around, but you can admire it from the road.
