Itinerary

  • Transfăgărășan

    Begin your adventure with Poenari Fortress, built by Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) in 1456. Here we will not be able to enter the fortress but we will see it from the outside. Next is the massive engineering marvel of Vidraru dam, standing at 166 meters tall. Enjoy the stunning vistas of Vidraru Lake and the surrounding mountains while learning about the dam's role in Romania’s hydropower system. Travel along one of the world’s most spectacular roads, known as the “Road to the Sky.” Winding through the Carpathian Mountains, the Transfăgărășan offers hairpin turns, dramatic drops, and awe-inspiring views at every bend. We stop at the Capra waterfall to admire the beauty of the mountain. Conclude your tour at this glacial lake, nestled at 2,034 meters above sea level. Surrounded by rugged peaks, the lake offers an idyllic setting to relax, enjoy a traditional Romanian meal, or even take a dip in the cool alpine waters.
