Bran Castle is Dracula's castle! It wasn't really, but he may have stopped by here one time... probably not though, he was the lord of the the southern region of Romania called Valahia. His rule did get this far North, but just barely. Still, its a great marketing ploy and a really cool castle, that was in fact inhabited until the 1930's.
Basically we included this to show that Romanians in the 13th century when this castle was built were short. Also I'm standing in a secret passage way. How cool is that!
This is a great view off one of the balconies in the castle overlooking the castle courtyard and the hill in the background.
Another shot looking down into the courtyard with the castle well.
Bran is a cool place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Looks like fun, I am putting it as number 22 on my list of cool places to go. Greece, Ireland, Florence, Miama, Honolulu, Mount Airy, Disneyland, DisneyWorld, Tahiti, Mexico, well you get the picture.
ReplyDeleteI really do think it looks like a great place to sight see, I realized my post sounds callous.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok. Romania isn't really at the top of anyone's list ecxept Nate's. It IS a cool place but I am inclined to agree with you. I would always rather go someplace warm. It has been freezing here and I am a bit grumpy about it.
