I went to Bran Castle as a kid, there were no kitsch vampire exhibitions back then. But the square down near the castle was full of locals selling cheap Dracula memorabilia. xD I also went to the Turda mine on the same trip! That was great.
I livelike 1.5hr drive from the castle and I've been there once, my 3 memories of it(Cool Castle,Imma head out into the forest to pee cuz' the line in the toilet was more scary than Dracula,I bought a Turk Shiv.) So yeah not a big thing historically but still a beautiful Castle.
I suggest you to visit Peleş Castle and Hunyadi/Corvin Castle (search up for the creepy things that take place in this castle) If you want to know more about Dracula, I'm sorry to disappoint you but he wasn't a vampire or whatever you think (though it would be cool if he was). He was actually a leader who brutally killed people by piercing them with big ass spikes. Such lovely times when you could walk on the streets and see people hanging dead in those spikes /j.

I am Romanian and I've been there once and I found it fascinating to be "in your own country" but having people speaking another language, having different architecture and rituals etc. Transylvania is indeed unique and can be somewhat consideren thr Switzerland of Eastern Europe because of its diversity in ethnicity, religion, etc. And yeah, thanks a lot to the Germans, Austrians and Hungarians for building these beautiful cities, which I consider to belong to all of them and us Romanians equally.

Vlad did have control over Transilvanian lands including the Bran area. Medieval land ownership was very complicated. Also the current Bran castle wasn't built by the Teutons. The teutons built a castle but it was demolished when the hungarians kicked them out. The current castle has been rebuilt like 100 years after.
Vlad never had control over any Transylvanian land, only Wallachian. And the Teutonic castle was destroyed by mongols during the mongol invasion, why would hungarians destroy a strategically important castle within their territory?
@@durond29 Vlad owned Amlaș and Făgăraș fiefs in Transylvania. The hungarians kicked out the Teutons because the Teutons wanted too much autonomy and grew too strong, it wasn't the hungarians who destroyed the first castle it was the Teutons who were upset at getting kicked out.
@@durond29 Wrong on both accounts. Amlaș and Făgăraș were his birthright, also owned by his father, the crusader lord Vlad Dracul and his grandfather, the great Mircea The Elder.
Just a correction- the building you showed as the Brukenthal palace in Sibiu is the city hall - the Brukenthal palace is the building to the left of the city hall
it is documented that Vlad Tepes visited the Bran castle a couple of times. Also the legend says he moved in after he became undead... so I wouldn't say they have nothing to do one with the other
There's a legend about Vlad saying he became undead?! I live here and I have never heard such a thing. There are many legends about his rule, one about a golden cup unchained that was never stolen and some monastery claims to have it, for example. But our National Hero, the very reason that YOU all don't speak Turkish now, the one that actually won the Athleta Christi (Champion of Christ) from the Pope because of his successful anti-ottoman campaign, turning into a zombie? Who told you that? I dun even think the Irish Dracula had something like that and that's from a book, not a legend.
Great video, I will be commenting as we go along 1. Ardeal is still called Ardeal to this day .. 2. The mountain near Deva is not a volcano 3. Dracula's castle exists. It's called Cetatea Poenari and it is even further south than Bran .. Great video mate! Really really good. Great Romanian pronunciation and well researched..
Fun fact about Transylvania: before the 1918 when it became romanian, Transylvania was widely known as an extremly diverse region and so the region was known as the oriental swiss
it is still much more culturally diverse compared to other Romanian regions: Romanians, Hungarians/Szekely, Saxons, Gypsies, Armenians, Landlers live there together and every town, every village, every street has at least three names in the three main languages.
@@ekesandras1481 "every town, every village, every street has at least three names in the three main languages"... No. Many cities and villages have streets and names only in Romanian. Majority of localities between Brasov and Sibiu were majority Romanian for much longer than other zones and they don't have strees in anything other than Romanian.
Watching videos about Transylvania is so surreal. Like, I'm just enjoying other people learning about my country then boom: the church your father preaches in.
The fountain builed by turcians was in Hunedoara not in Râșnov and the builders wrote to Iancu de Hunedoara: " Apa ai, inimă n-ai" ( You have water but not heart).
Every class trip where the teacher didn’t know what to do, she took us to Deva. I swear to got every single time is was rainy and grey and I got a cold afterwards. Everyone hated those trips so much Edit: nowadays the biggest attraction is the aquapark
@@BlankRami its mostly just erdély is hungary, romania doesnt exist and after that i can only hear some words like carpathians and a few others but its barely understandable
every tower in the Saxon towns was manned by a guild ... on their own expenses. Since there were very few taxes back than and a central state almost non-existant, the citizens of those towns had to take their fate into their own hands and that's the system they came up with. So there is a carpenters' tower, a bakers' tower, a butchers' tower, etc.
Went to brasov last summer and christmas, cand only recommend. Great place Just adding that you can go in the town council hall in the middle of piata sfatului. It costs 5 euros and its a museum with items ranging from 800 years ago to 30 years ago and sooner. And in sighisoara there is a great monastery right next to the city, 5 kilometers away if I am not mistaken.
As a Transylvanian, who's also a part of the Szekler people, I'm very happy, that you included everyone in the video. I think you represented very well, the diversity and multicultural history and being of the region. Maybe the only English speaking video, which represents this so well, of course there are Hungarian made ones, but they usually consist content which looks like the bit at the beginning of your video. I'm a bit sad, that you left out Szeklerland, but I understand that you can't go everywhere, maybe sometimes later. Also I'm very happy about the comment section, which is so supporting for everyone and as it mainly consist Romanians and Hungarians of Transylvanian origin s*cking each other off, like the brothers we are.
I agree 100% I'm also from Transilvania and every time I go to Romania I get some kurtoskalaks, it's the first hungarian word/sweet I ever learned and for now one of the few. I like to think that the people of Transilvania are actualy nice to each other and maybe the ones that fight all the time are Romanians and Hungarians from outside Transilvania. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to learn hungarian, it's pretty intimidating but I think the language barrier is something that makes people isolate themselves from the others, or something. So I think that learning a bit of hungarian might be cool, but hard
@@malahamavet If you have passion for it, if the drive for you, to learn a language comes from your heart, then it's significantly easier. I struggled a lot with Romanian, as I'm from a Hungarian majority town and the Romanian language education in school is terrible. But when I decided that I want to learn the language, not because the system wants me, but because I want to understand my fellow Transylvanians, with whom I don't share a language, my efforts and results have skyrocketed. I've learnt more Romanian in half a year, than in all my life. I thought of the Romanians, who live in my town and who speak Hungarian very well and said, if they could do it, then so must I. So what I'm saying is that if you've made a decision and want to learn the language, then it won't be that hard. I also think that many Hungarians would gladly help you to learn the language.
Szia mate, I have a question: Is there a Transylvanian Identity beyond ethnicity? Such as Swiss Identity for example? Are there Romanian-Transylvanians who Identify as Transylvanians and want Transylvanian Independence? I Am Israeli who have Hungarian-Jewish roots, And some of this roots are from Transylvania, So it interests me I really respect the székely people
@@ellgndd5343 Transylvanian Hungarian here, half my family is Romanian due to my parents' divorce and my dad's marriage with a Romanian woman. I don't think that Romanians from Transylvania would identify themselves as "Transylvanian Romanians", as a group distinct of other Romanians. On the other hand, Hungarians identify themselves as "Transylvanian Hungarians" and "Székelys", distinct from Hungarian Hungarians if you know what I mean. At least we do. Culturally speaking, we are a bit different from them, linguistically we are not. This is complicated tho😂 Edit: I have experienced that Transylvanian Romanians don't like Romanian government. Neither do Transylvanian Hungarians like the Hungarian one. But idk if any Transylvanian Romanians would want independence.
1st thing: The black church had golden ornaments which were stollen by the people who burnt it. This is why it's called like that. It's real name is "Biserica Sfânta Maria" or "Saint Mary Church". 2nd thing: Yhe legend sais that the kid was the architect's son, and he fell accidentally. Actually this story is 100% true, 'cause the church has a statue which resembles a small kid. It was made by the churches builder in honor of the deceased child.
Also about the astra museum. Previous to the plandemic, the museum hosted the national olympiad of traditional crafts where participants from all over romania would come dressed in popular romanian clothes and would stay in the houses' gardens from which county they originated. pretty cool atmosphere
Great video and awesome traveling, however, you missed one of the best and nicest cities in Romania, Oradea. If you ever travel back to Romania, you should definitely check our mountains. Aside from medieval cities and castles, Romania also has some of the most spectacular mountains in Europe. Once again, great video! ❤️🇷🇴
When you live In Transilvania but you learned more from a Serbian on youtube then you did in school about your region. NICE! (Probably it also has to do with specifically living in Crișana and being bored to death by forests,mountains, caves, probably some exposure to Uranium and a shet ton of geothermal hot spots)
not much into buildings, or history, I much prefer nature, but the cultural reference to losing tickets on Arsenal, you got me there and your humor is so Balkan, like it
Hopefully in this life I’ll see you visit Oradea/Nagyvarad, it’s a shame you missed it in this tour. If you come, me and my friends will give you a proper tour💪🏻
Does it also teaches how to be Sith all your existence, enslave the rightful citizens of a region for 1000 years, have a mass murderer as a national poet, betray allies to steal the crusaders gold sent by the pope and lose every war you ever been into and still wanting to steal, pillage and conquer other nations' properties?
It is worth mentioning, that, according to a legend, Deva Castle is still standing, because its 12 masons took some extra security measures during its building. They agreed that the wife of any of them, who came to visit the building site first, will be sacrificed. It was the wife of Kelemen who came first. She was burned alive, and her ashes were mixed with the lime to make it stronger. They already knew back then, that female is the stronger sex.

My man, in Sibiu, you filmed the City Hall (19 century) and said it was the Brukenthal Museum (18 century), which is acutally the building on the left side as you look at the city hall.
When I was a child, my mother and I visited the Turda salt mine for health reasons and I was able to see the mine waaaaay before it was turned into an amusement park. It was way more relaxing back then.

I'm from Sibiu and the building you called the Bruckenthal museum was actually the city hall, the museum is the blue building to the left of the city hall, not really visible from where you showed it. Otherwise, great video, thank you for covering Transylvania!
Traveled there twise and will do so again! Good an honest ppl, beautifull view and castles, awsome romanian food and hungarian deserts. Most recomended.
As someone whose family are Transylvanian Saxons and had to flee Romania in the 60s and 70s, it’s nice to see the history and multiculturalism of Transylvania being broadcasted!
Fun fact: Iancu de Hunedoara (yes, I'm Romanian) died shortly after his victory at Belgrad, due to a plague outbreak in the military camp just outside Belgrad.
This overview is amazing. I love the how objective and balanced your video is about TS. And what surprised me most is that you've even managed to mention Kalotaszeg, which means you really dug deep in the understanding this weird little melting spot of eastern-central european culture. At 31:29 the left side building is where I and my girlfriend live, we might even crossed paths :D Congratulations from a hungarian from Cluj!
What is 'objective' in claiming that the villages around Cluj are mostly Hungarian when are overwhelmingly Romanian? What is objective about "Romanization" when in the last 100 years the Hungarian population more than doubled in cities like Cluj, even though the population increased few times due to industrialization?

Next time you come, take as many Hungarians and Székelys with you as possible. We don't want your kind in our country.
As me From Sibiu i am Verry happy you visited the museum, almost noane does that when visiting like an tourist, i am Verry happy you liked the museum, my great grandparents used to live in a blue house like there and I know some friends how build some years ago their own blue house somewhere near Deva, theanks you and I hope more people will visit after this video

Vlad did have control over Transilvanian lands including the Bran area. Medieval land ownership was very complicated.
Also the current Bran castle wasn't built by the Teutons. The teutons built a castle but it was demolished when the hungarians kicked them out. The current castle has been rebuilt like 100 years after.
Vlad never had control over any Transylvanian land, only Wallachian.
And the Teutonic castle was destroyed by mongols during the mongol invasion, why would hungarians destroy a strategically important castle within their territory?
@@durond29 Vlad owned Amlaș and Făgăraș fiefs in Transylvania. The hungarians kicked out the Teutons because the Teutons wanted too much autonomy and grew too strong, it wasn't the hungarians who destroyed the first castle it was the Teutons who were upset at getting kicked out.
@@durond29 Wrong on both accounts. Amlaș and Făgăraș were his birthright, also owned by his father, the crusader lord Vlad Dracul and his grandfather, the great Mircea The Elder.
@@durond29 Yes it did, Moldova used controlled lands from Transylvania too, educate yourself please before making dumb affirmations.
@@notyourdaddude1957 maybe try to get sources before you nake dumb affirmations yourself
Just a correction- the building you showed as the Brukenthal palace in Sibiu is the city hall - the Brukenthal palace is the building to the left of the city hall
I can't believe you showed the town of Medias:)❤❤
it is documented that Vlad Tepes visited the Bran castle a couple of times. Also the legend says he moved in after he became undead... so I wouldn't say they have nothing to do one with the other
There's a legend about Vlad saying he became undead?! I live here and I have never heard such a thing. There are many legends about his rule, one about a golden cup unchained that was never stolen and some monastery claims to have it, for example. But our National Hero, the very reason that YOU all don't speak Turkish now, the one that actually won the Athleta Christi (Champion of Christ) from the Pope because of his successful anti-ottoman campaign, turning into a zombie? Who told you that? I dun even think the Irish Dracula had something like that and that's from a book, not a legend.
Yes, i saw him drinking blood in the catacombs under the castle
@@justme... Go get yourself checked and stop drinking from the puppy's water!
He stopped one time after eating too much beans

Fun fact about Transylvania: before the 1918 when it became romanian, Transylvania was widely known as an extremly diverse region and so the region was known as the oriental swiss
LOL...probably only you know that !
it is still much more culturally diverse compared to other Romanian regions: Romanians, Hungarians/Szekely, Saxons, Gypsies, Armenians, Landlers live there together and every town, every village, every street has at least three names in the three main languages.
@@ekesandras1481 "every town, every village, every street has at least three names in the three main languages"... No. Many cities and villages have streets and names only in Romanian. Majority of localities between Brasov and Sibiu were majority Romanian for much longer than other zones and they don't have strees in anything other than Romanian.
Watching videos about Transylvania is so surreal. Like, I'm just enjoying other people learning about my country then boom: the church your father preaches in.
Transylvania honestly looks a lot like Sweden, only with fewer muslims

who knew the tailors guild was powerful enough to have their own towers in multiple towns. never would've thought of that.
Everyone needs clothes, right?
every tower in the Saxon towns was manned by a guild ... on their own expenses. Since there were very few taxes back than and a central state almost non-existant, the citizens of those towns had to take their fate into their own hands and that's the system they came up with. So there is a carpenters' tower, a bakers' tower, a butchers' tower, etc.
Went to brasov last summer and christmas, cand only recommend. Great place
Just adding that you can go in the town council hall in the middle of piata sfatului. It costs 5 euros and its a museum with items ranging from 800 years ago to 30 years ago and sooner.
And in sighisoara there is a great monastery right next to the city, 5 kilometers away if I am not mistaken.
As a Transylvanian, who's also a part of the Szekler people, I'm very happy, that you included everyone in the video. I think you represented very well, the diversity and multicultural history and being of the region. Maybe the only English speaking video, which represents this so well, of course there are Hungarian made ones, but they usually consist content which looks like the bit at the beginning of your video. I'm a bit sad, that you left out Szeklerland, but I understand that you can't go everywhere, maybe sometimes later. Also I'm very happy about the comment section, which is so supporting for everyone and as it mainly consist Romanians and Hungarians of Transylvanian origin s*cking each other off, like the brothers we are.
I agree 100% I'm also from Transilvania and every time I go to Romania I get some kurtoskalaks, it's the first hungarian word/sweet I ever learned and for now one of the few. I like to think that the people of Transilvania are actualy nice to each other and maybe the ones that fight all the time are Romanians and Hungarians from outside Transilvania.
Maybe one day I'll figure out how to learn hungarian, it's pretty intimidating but I think the language barrier is something that makes people isolate themselves from the others, or something. So I think that learning a bit of hungarian might be cool, but hard
@@malahamavet If you have passion for it, if the drive for you, to learn a language comes from your heart, then it's significantly easier.
I struggled a lot with Romanian, as I'm from a Hungarian majority town and the Romanian language education in school is terrible. But when I decided that I want to learn the language, not because the system wants me, but because I want to understand my fellow Transylvanians, with whom I don't share a language, my efforts and results have skyrocketed. I've learnt more Romanian in half a year, than in all my life. I thought of the Romanians, who live in my town and who speak Hungarian very well and said, if they could do it, then so must I.
So what I'm saying is that if you've made a decision and want to learn the language, then it won't be that hard. I also think that many Hungarians would gladly help you to learn the language.
@@kundbalint4091 thanks! I'll keep trying
Szia mate, I have a question: Is there a Transylvanian Identity beyond ethnicity? Such as Swiss Identity for example?
Are there Romanian-Transylvanians who Identify as Transylvanians and want Transylvanian Independence?
I Am Israeli who have Hungarian-Jewish roots, And some of this roots are from Transylvania, So it interests me
I really respect the székely people
@@ellgndd5343 Transylvanian Hungarian here, half my family is Romanian due to my parents' divorce and my dad's marriage with a Romanian woman.
I don't think that Romanians from Transylvania would identify themselves as "Transylvanian Romanians", as a group distinct of other Romanians. On the other hand, Hungarians identify themselves as "Transylvanian Hungarians" and "Székelys", distinct from Hungarian Hungarians if you know what I mean. At least we do. Culturally speaking, we are a bit different from them, linguistically we are not. This is complicated tho😂
Edit: I have experienced that Transylvanian Romanians don't like Romanian government. Neither do Transylvanian Hungarians like the Hungarian one. But idk if any Transylvanian Romanians would want independence.
1st thing: The black church had golden ornaments which were stollen by the people who burnt it.
This is why it's called like that.
It's real name is "Biserica Sfânta Maria" or "Saint Mary Church".
2nd thing: Yhe legend sais that the kid was the architect's son, and he fell accidentally. Actually this story is 100% true, 'cause the church has a statue which resembles a small kid.
It was made by the churches builder in honor of the deceased child.
Also about the astra museum. Previous to the plandemic, the museum hosted the national olympiad of traditional crafts where participants from all over romania would come dressed in popular romanian clothes and would stay in the houses' gardens from which county they originated. pretty cool atmosphere
You have great taste sir

Hungary has a school programme called limitless in which we go to transylvania and study strategies of how we'll take it back on the day of reckoning

It is worth mentioning, that, according to a legend, Deva Castle is still standing, because its 12 masons took some extra security measures during its building. They agreed that the wife of any of them, who came to visit the building site first, will be sacrificed. It was the wife of Kelemen who came first. She was burned alive, and her ashes were mixed with the lime to make it stronger. They already knew back then, that female is the stronger sex.

My man, in Sibiu, you filmed the City Hall (19 century) and said it was the Brukenthal Museum (18 century), which is acutally the building on the left side as you look at the city hall.
Also, in Sighisoara you mistook the Church on the Hill with the Kloisterkirche which is actually next to the Clock Tower.
When I was a child, my mother and I visited the Turda salt mine for health reasons and I was able to see the mine waaaaay before it was turned into an amusement park. It was way more relaxing back then.
