Harman can be reached quite easily, starting from Brasov to Buzau / Sfantu Gheorghe and turning left after a few kilometers. The road leads right in front of the fortified that can be seen in the distance. The fortified church is attested from the 13th century and its construction was started by the Teutonic Knights. After they were expelled, the Cistercian monks from La Carta (an abbey near Sibiu) continued it. That is why you can see elements from different periods inside. Apart from the church, to the left of the entrance there are 3 rooms that can be visited, rooms with old Saxon objects and explanations in German. You can also climb the defensive wall.
Harman Evangelical Church can be visited on a bicycle tour on the same day as Prejmer Fortified Church (see below).

Returning to the main road and continuing towards Buzau you will pass through Prejmer, a locality where the fortified church Prejmer is located, another place to visit near Brasov. The construction of the church was also started in 1218 by the Order of the Teutonic Knights, as in Harman, and had the same course, then passing under the patronage of the Cistercian abbey in the Charter. The Saxon peasants and craftsmen took part in the construction and only in 1421 the consolidation of the fortress fortifications began. Since 1999, the Prejmer fortress has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside you can visit the church and climb the walls of the fortress, right on the top floor. To the right of the church, on the first floor of the defensive wall, is the old school. The cells here were small and had a single window facing inwards.

From Brasov to Sighisoara the road flows smoothly, with only a few elements to attract attention: at Feldioara - a rebuilt fortress, at Rotbav - an old church whose tower collapsed inside and at Rupea - the imposing fortress that rises on top of the hill . Until a few years ago in Rupea there were only some ruins up the hill that you reached among the maracini, but in 2016 it was completely rebuilt, keeping the same structure from medieval times: the upper, middle and lower fortress. The hill on which the fortress was originally built in the 14th century over a Roman camp does not seem very high, but it offers a 360 degree view. You can leave the car in the specially arranged parking lot, and after paying the entrance ticket you can start your walk through the corners of the fortress, through the labyrinth of cobbled paths between the exterior walls. There is not much to see inside, but the view from above is beautiful and worth a stop to enjoy the eye with Transylvanian landscapes.
Rupea Fortress and Viscri Village are destinations you can do it together.

Bran Castle was built more than 600 years ago and was originally a fortress known as the Dietrichstein, built by the Order of the Teutonic Knights in 1212, which was conquered by the Saxons in the late thirteenth century. Bran Castle is located less than 30 km from Brasov, built on a rock, in a key location from a strategic point of view. It houses the Bran Museum, which stretches over the four floors of the castle. Here you will find collections of ceramics, furniture, weapons and armor, and in the castle courtyard there is a small museum of the village, with traditional houses from the Rucăr-Bran region. The castle was restored between 1920 and 1927 under the direction of the architect of the Royal Court, Carol Liman. During Queen Mary's time, the castle experienced its heyday as a royal residence, being one of the queen's favorite places. Tourists can find out from the castle guide that the heart of Queen Maria was buried, for a short time, in Bran. Although in 1938, Queen Maria's daughter, Princess Ileana, inherited this Castle, in 1948 the royal family was expelled from the country by the communist regime, and Bran Castle became the property of the Romanian state. Ten years after the installation of the communist regime in Romania, Bran Castle was opened as a museum of feudal history and art. Its state of degradation led to its closure in 1987 and its reopening took place only in 1993, as a result of restoration work. Bran Castle is currently owned by Princess Ileana's successor, Dominic of Habsburg. The main reason why foreign tourists choose to visit Bran Castle is represented by the legend that was created around it, Dracula being a fictional character. The character of Count Dracula first appears in the novel "Dracula", written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker and published in 1897 in England. Originally, the name Dracula is not scary at all. It derives from the name given to an order of the Crusaders, the Order of the Dragon, with which both Vlad the Impaler and his father Vlad the Devil (a member of this order) were associated. The rest of the Dracula myth is due to the influence of Transylvanian folk legends and beliefs about ghosts and vampires.

Continuing towards Sighisoara, you will meet another sign that urges you to turn left towards Viscri. It is worth listening to him because here you will find the village that Prince Charles fell in love with: Viscri. After entering the village, you will have a strong feeling that you have just traveled through time, 100 years ago. The road in the village is not paved and has never been, but only paved. The wide street is surrounded by old and very brightly colored houses. There is no new trace there, no modernized house that makes a discordant note with the others as it is often found in other villages, no villa with double glazing or decorative paint. At some gates there are women who crochet and around it is quiet like on top of a mountain! Time flows differently here, in a calm and pleasant way. In the village you can visit one of the fortified churches in Transylvania in UNESCO heritage. From the entrance to the village, the church from Viscri can be seen on the right. To reach it, follow the main street and at the first intersection turn right and then go up the first street on the right. The fortified evangelical church in Viscri was built in the 13th century and is now the oldest evangelical church in the country where services are still held. Its antiquity can be seen especially in the thick but worn walls in some places. Climbing the steps through the forest, behind the trees, the milk-white defensive walls, hidden until then by branches, begin to be seen. Inside you can enter the church and then visit the rooms in the defensive wall where an exhibition of old rural objects was arranged.
At Viscri it is very important to visit it during the week when it is not crowded to enjoy the stillness of the place, the peace and the feeling that time has stood still.

Zărnești - Piatra Craiului is an ecotourism area certified by the National Authority for Tourism. You have a lot to discover here! The town of Zărnești is located at the base of the Piatra Craiului massif. Zărnești is the main starting point for various routes and tourist attractions. The main type of tourism that is practiced in the area is mountain and recreational. Sports tourism is also developing (mountaineering, cycling, parachuting, horseback riding, skiing, motocross).
The natural rock fortress of Pietra Craiului is unique among the mountains in our country. The ridge of about 25 kilometers long forms one of the most beloved mountain landscapes in Romania, a place where mountaineers, climbers and researchers alike, can be amazed by the diversity of the place here. The specific landscape of the Piara Craiului National Park is characterized by a lonely ridge, which reaches a length of about 25 km, which is oriented in the NE-SW direction and positioned across the general direction of the ridge of the Southern Carpathians. It is the longest and highest limestone ridge in the country. The maximum height of the massif is reached in La Om Peak (or Baciului Peak) which reaches 2,238m. If we leisurely study the peculiarities of the park, we will discover a great variety of shapes and dimensions of the relief: rock corners, needles, pyramids, edges, towers, belts and chimneys. The large number of valleys, rubble, natural arcades and alpine hollows complete the visual spectacle, along with particularly spectacular cliffs. The first nature reserve in Piatra Craiului was established in 1938 and had only 440ha, but in 1972 it doubled its area. The national park was established in 1990 and covers almost 15,000 ha, of which a third is a special conservation area.
Libearty, ranked by the National Geographic Traveller the most ethical wildlife attraction, is the largest brown bear sanctuary in the world, managed by The Millions of Friends Association."

For some time, Băile Tușnad resort has been reinvented from a tourist point of view. Băile Tușnad no longer wants to be the grandparents' resort for treatment and rest, but rather a starting point for exploring the rural area in the north of the resort and the protected natural areas, the best known of which is Lake Sfânta Ana. The beautifully maintained Szekler villages hide small museums, fortified churches and monumental wooden carved gates with ancestral motifs.
Tuşnad Baths offers two exceptional viewpoints (Apor Tower and Falcon Rock), accessible all year round in an easy hike. The resort with various mineral springs, mesothermal and skunks is recommended for the treatment of cardiovascular, urinary and nervous system diseases. Apor Tower was built in 1883 and was restored in 2008. Located at an altitude of about 700m, it is a very beautiful viewpoint. It is the first marked route from Băile Tuşnad, the shortest and easiest. The tourist route starts in the middle of the resort, passes through the city center, past the Mikes and Apor springs and reaches the edge of the forest. This is where the paved street ends, the route continues on a well-trodden path. After about 10 minutes of walking, the routes marked with a red cross and a red dot separate. The first route, marked with a red cross leads to Tinovul Mohoş - Sfânta Ana Lake, and the second one, marked with a red dot, turns to the left and continues on the slope of Mount Surduc almost horizontally. After approx. 15 minutes walk, at an altitude of 701 m, you reach the Apor Bastion. If you want to float above a volcano then you have to get to Tinovul Mohoş. Opposite Lake St. Anne is a volcanic crater, 4 times larger than its more famous brother, but which camouflaged itself in a fluffy and floating blanket, revealing its true face in only two holes of water.
Sfânta Ana Lake is a complex natural, geological, floristic and faunal reservation, being connected to Băile Tuşnad by tourist paths. Lake Sfânta Ana is a volcanic lake, being the only such lake in the entire territory of Romania. It is located on the territory of Harghita county, in the Ciomatu massif, on the left bank of the Olt, near Tuşnad. The lake is located at the bottom of the crater of an extinct volcano, called Ciomatu, in the Puciosu volcanic massif, the site of the most recent volcanic eruption in the Carpathians and Eastern Europe, which took place several tens of thousands of years ago. Lake Sfânta Ana is located at an altitude of 946 m. Almost circular in shape, similar to a painter's palette, it has a length of 620 m and a maximum width of 460 m, an area of 19.50 ha and a maximum depth of 7 m. The lake completes its waters only from precipitation, having no springs. The purity of the water is close to that of distilled water, with only 0.0029 ml of minerals.

After approx. 15 minutes walk, at an altitude of 701 m, you reach the Apor Bastion. If you want to float above a volcano then you have to get to Tinovul Mohoş. Opposite Lake St. Anne is a volcanic crater, 4 times larger than its more famous brother, but which camouflaged itself in a fluffy and floating blanket, revealing its true face in only two holes of water.
Sfânta Ana Lake is a complex natural, geological, floristic and faunal reservation, being connected to Băile Tuşnad by tourist paths. Lake Sfânta Ana is a volcanic lake, being the only such lake in the entire territory of Romania. It is located on the territory of Harghita county, in the Ciomatu massif, on the left bank of the Olt, near Tuşnad. The lake is located at the bottom of the crater of an extinct volcano, called Ciomatu, in the Puciosu volcanic massif, the site of the most recent volcanic eruption in the Carpathians and Eastern Europe, which took place several tens of thousands of years ago. Lake Sfânta Ana is located at an altitude of 946 m. Almost circular in shape, similar to a painter's palette, it has a length of 620 m and a maximum width of 460 m, an area of 19.50 ha and a maximum depth of 7 m. The lake completes its waters only from precipitation, having no springs. The purity of the water is close to that of distilled water, with only 0.0029 ml of minerals.

The Fagaras Fortress is, for sure, the main attraction of the city at the foot of the Fagaras Mountains, being located right in its center. But Fagaras has much more to offer and many more places to visit.
Nicknamed the Transylvanian Alps, the Fagaras Mountains represent the dream of anyone passionate about hiking and mountaineering in Romania. It covers around 2400 square kilometers and is special both for the fact that it houses the highest mountain peaks in the country (107 alpine peaks exceeding 2000 meters and 8 peaks exceeding 2500 meters), but also because they have a mastery and a wild beauty that can no longer be found in other parts of Romania. Here are some of the beautiful places that "Romania's Roof" hides: The Transfagarasan. It is one of the most spectacular roads in all of Europe, astonishing even those at Top Gear with its landscapes and serpentines that increase the adrenaline of all drivers who dare to cross it by car. Also called DN7C, Transfagarasan is located at an altitude of 2042 meters, thus being the second highest road in the country, after Transalpina, and stretches over a distance of 92 kilometers, connecting the historical regions of Muntenia and Transylvania. Balea Lac. It is the first attraction of the Fagaras, also located at an altitude of 2040 meters, close to Transfagarasan. Of glacial origin, Lake Balea covers an area of 4.6 hectares and measures 11 meters deep. In the summer season, it is like a magnet for tourists arriving in the region, especially on hot days, when its coolness and the surrounding wild mountain landscapes are more than a delight. If in summer the lake can be quite easy, by car, in winter it can be accessed only by cable car, whose starting point is near Balea Waterfall. We also recommend visiting the Ice Hotel, a unique tourist attraction, which is only available in the winter months. Balea Waterfall. As soon as you reach Transfagarasan you will see a marvel of water flowing on the steps of Fagaras, right between the peaks of Negoiu and Moldoveanu. It is about Balea Waterfall, the largest in the country, whose waterfall measures 60 meters. Moldoveanu peak. While we all want to reach the "Roof of Romania" at least once, only those with endurance and "good feet" can enjoy the spectacular view of the valley below the highest mountain peak in the country, Moldoveanu. Reaching the altitude of 2544 meters, the Moldoveanu peak subjects its visitors to a difficult and difficult road, but of a pure beauty.
