On Dracula’s Footsteps – Real Dracula Tour
At 8:00 a.m. we will start The Real Dracula Tour with the exciting surroundings of Bucharest City.
Moment 1 – Targoviste
We will fist head to Targoviste city, the former capital of Wallachia region. Here we will visit the old Princely Court, where Vlad the Impaler ruled from. Here we can learn more about his life from the exhibition housed in the Chindia Tower. This is the first highlight on our Real Dracula Tour.
Moment 2 – Poenari Citadel
Now we continue our tour to the northern regions of Arges Country. We will step into the marvelous landscape of the mountains. Here we make a new stop at the foot of Fagaras Mountains, to see a stronghold built by Vlad the Impaler himself. Poenari citadel is a strong fortress on a high hill dominating the entire area.
Poenari’s history begins with Negru Voda, the voivode who built a tower in the 13th century. He wanted to extend a defense plan to northern Wallachia. In 1456, Vlad the Impaler finds the place and decides that such a good site deserves better exploitation. So he adds four more towers, joined by solid brick walls, settling here his second residence after Targoviste. In fact, Tepes had to rebuild the original structure, seriously destroyed by a great earthquake. A good plan. And a lot of legends about the fortress…
We will only see the fortress from the valley as this site was closed to visitors because bears attacks
Moment 3 – Vidraru Dam Lake
From here we will continue into the mountains until we reach Vidraru Dam Lake, one of Romania’s biggest and most beautiful mountain lakes. We will stop here for pictures and admiring the landscape. This will be the highest point we get at on this tour.
Moment 4 – Curtea de Arges
From here we will head back to Arges Country and our next stop will be in the town of Curtea de Argeș, situated at the bottom of the Fagaras Mountains. Here, visit Curtea de Arges Monastery, one of the most remarkable monasteries in Romania.
