+12 photos
This is a Small Group Tour – Maximum 7 Passengers!
Our first destination is Poenari Fortress, once served as a strategic stronghold for Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure who inspired the legend of Dracula. We’ll admire it from the outside and learn about its fascinating history.
Next, we’ll visit the impressive Vidraru Dam, a remarkable feat of engineering from the 1960s that holds back the sparkling waters of Lake Vidraru.
We then ascend into the Făgăraș Mountains National Park, where nature's beauty truly comes alive. Here we can see Wild Brown Bears in their natural environment.
Our main destination is Bâlea Lake, located at over 2,000 meters altitude. Here, you’ll have time to relax, enjoy lunch, and admire the panoramic views, including the famous winding Transfăgărășan Road, featured on Top Gear as one of the most beautiful roads in the world.
On the way back we'll stop at Capra Waterfall, perfect for taking in the fresh mountain air and capturing some stunning photos.
