What a beautiful unspoilt countryside!!! Wow that's a real cheap accommodation in the middle of the gorgeous countryside!!! And all that wonderful wholesome food!!! Enjoy guys!!!
One thing you can always count on from a Romanian is hospitality :) I hope you will continue to enjoy the countryside! If you have time you should visit some of the hot springs in that area like Sovata
so good you are alive and kicking ! Try to go Sighisoara, you wont regret, it is the best preserved medieval town in these mountains and part of the region
@@JetLagWarriors the liqueur from blueberries (afine) is called "afinată". The one from sour cherries (vișine) is called "vișinată". The one from figs (smochine) is called "smochinată". Etc.
Ah how i miss to be in my home country! I think o visited Dracula’s castle 17 times . Beautiful !
3 года назад+11
that lady was so kind! she was saying that she only has cheese to bring you guys and if you want something "more full" you can go to a restaurant, but in the end with the language barrier I presume that she decided to bring you what she cooked for her and her family. That's really nice :)
love the pace of this video and the surprise at the end, we didn't know what was she going to bring for dinner or if she will bring any dinner at all but it looked like a feast
( Closed in Romanian ) = few inches away , ha ,love you guys you are so cool and fun to watch . Steve , funny to listen to your matching Ro words spelling with English meanings. Brilliant lucky choice to stay at Fundata, the highest point on Rucar-Bran passage, one of the beautiful places in Romania.
The soup that you ate is either Hen soup or Rooster soup with homemade noodles. To be called ciorba, the soup needs a sour component to it, like Borș , unripe cherry plum juice or vinegar.
True but Peles is not a castle, it's a palace and it was built like one. If they are still in Brasov county they can visit lots of citadels and fortified churches. Fagaras citadel is one the most nice I visited, same with Rasnov fortress or Rupea citadel, but there are a lot more. Then move slowly to Mures or Sibiu or Harghita, plenty of place like citadels or castles to visit there as well.
Corvin castle is really ugly in my opinion. There is one spot where you can take a good picture with it but that's it. It's not taken care of. The inside is muddy and the walls are falling apart. Also the surounding city is not really nice. It was pretty disappointing. I would recommend Peles and Bran though.
@@kronks6262 I've loved my visit to Corvin castle, however, when I visited there was a thing called "Noaptea Muzeelor" and they had all sorts of events going, people dressed in knights and things like that, it was amazing. Not sure how it would have been without those events though.
@@dragose.884 Asa, dar daca numele este Castelul Peles nu inseamna ca si este castel, doar faptul ca noi suntem ignoranti si nu stim ce-i aia castel si ce-i ala palat. Oricum pe vremea aia stramosii nostri romani nici n-au avut drum pe la castel sau palat sa stie ce-i ala. In general un castel este o structura fortificata si de prin evul mediu, pozitionat strategic si unde cei din sat care locuiau se mai adaposteau pe timp de invazii. Asta nu-i nici una nici alta, nici dupa functie nici dupa constructie si forma si interior. Regele Carol isi dorea o resedinta de vara, un loc unde sa se retraga si sa vaneze, asa ca a chemat arhitecti din vest sau de la el din Germania. Toti i-au adus planuri de palat dar i-a placut doar al aluia din Germania. Doar familiile regale si alti invitati speciali erau pe acolo in vizita, noi ca romani nu stiam de interior si oricum pe timp de razboi era degeaba ca adapost, dar da, noi i-am dat denumirea de castel desi nu este decat un foarte frumos palat. Niciun arhitect nu o sa te contrazica daca-i spui ca-i palat.
I am so happy you guys are still exploring our country! Specially when u eat our food and i see ur faces it is such a nice and warm feeling. Do not worry when someone does not know english or so, u already know important words as MICI and CIORBA and PALINCA :D so if u mention that people will understand straight up what u need.
Wow hi guys 👋🏻 my favourite part of the journey is visiting the countryside 👍 amazing view , love the castle with the golden domes , really stunning 👏🏻 wow the Dracula's castle really nice mystical museum 👏🏻 nice clean hotel and cheap too , the lady is indeed so friendly and nice 👍 have a good rest Ivana & Steve 🥰😘
yep Steve, the spinach roll looks healthier but let s go back to the fat part (called Slanina) . And the sausage must have been the real home made one,. Yummy, OMG my mouth is watering.....Correct the Pork is the best ‘veges’ in Ro. Hope you enjoy as many similar country side original / traditional experiences in Romania. Be prep for the Delta ‘s traditional food ! Have fun !
The Corvin's Castle from Hunedoara is one Dracula spent time in prison impaling rats. That is where movie "THE NOON" has been set, so yes spooky and yes Dracula's.
LOVED IT. I've watched your series since you came to Romania, but so far this is my favorite. is not just about the place itself but rather your attitude towards it, I guess. Not sure what you did different but had to show my appreciation. Also not sure what your budget is, but I would 10000% recommend not skipping Transfagarasn road, at least until Vidraru dam/barrage - You will not regret it, and is still open until 31 next month, not many tourists get to see it since they don't have cars or visit while the road is closed. The view is amazing, stunning, in my opinion unique in the world, lots of military lives were lost building it during communist era as a means to move military vehicles ...and we thank them for their sacrifices, what they left behind is AMAZING, also besides the UNIQUE scenery is also some sort of bear "safari" as you can see lots of bears around the road (stay safe in the car). In terms of cost is just gas money and few hours detour, think is about 2 hours away from Bran if not less, if is possible I would really love to see your guys reaction there, with that epic scenery. Keep up the great work, looking forward to see your future journey, just wish you'd make some little detours for those places less known and less visited by outsiders, such as Transfagarasn instead of the danube delta and other well known places.
i discovered you guys back in july and i keep coming back since then cause idk, i like your vibes and also its nice to discover a lot of places in my own country that i've never had the chance to visit. I hope you guys are enjoying Romania up until now and maybe you'll become permanent residents :)) keep up the good work and papa bless
Thanks for watching!❤️ Check out these vlogs if you missed them: Transfăgărășan vlog: ruclips.net/video/gbLoZIa6NNA/видео.html Sibiu vlog: ruclips.net/video/AndIixem104/видео.html Constanța vlog: ruclips.net/video/Pc_VJRx_wQM/видео.html Timișoara vlog: ruclips.net/video/D_Z6dG3PPD4/видео.html
Near Sibiu you have another wonderful Castle in Hunedoara (is the city) Corvinilor Castle.Check that one as well, is bigger and nicer, you will love it.
Currently the weather is bad in the Danube Delta. It is cloudy and the wind is blowing. We hope that by the time the time comes, he will recover and catch a beautiful and sunny day like your wonderful soul. 😊💜 💜 💜 👏🏻
Woohoooo...the Romanian roadtrip is going to be an awesome one. Interesting tour around Dracula's Castle/Museum...oh gosh, lots of spooky stuff/souvenirs there. Countryside looks spectacular...very peaceful and calm. Nice homestay/ room and food looks yum, yum, yum 👍👍👍
Very interesting! I like the food n soup! Beautiful scenery....the meadows.....my kind of place ...but not the Dracula castle....spooky! I have been to a few castles in England. One of which the castle was used for Harry Potter movie. Dracula verses Harry Potter.
2:17 recent Poenari Castle (Cetatea Poenari receive 3 millions euro from E.U. to be renovated , currently the castle is in bad shape and will be re-open for tourists in incoming 2 or 3 years.)
07:06 it's actually just a local pesant, that's a scythe in his hand used for mowing grass. If you go into the country more.. you'd see a lot more of them. Nice hard working people.
You two are awesome! I check everyday for new videos, so please keep them coming so those of us who can't travel at the moment can travel vicariously through your videos! 😄
Good to see you guys back and at it! Love your enthusiasm! Btw, Ivana definitely has the right pronunciation @6:32 :)) You guys are almost Romanian citizens now :) One last thing, if you want to see the REAL place where Vlad Tepes (pronounced Tzepesh) ruled in 3 different periods, you'd have to go to the city of Targoviste and visit the "Princely Court". It's mostly ruins, but there is a tower and a mini-museum there as well. The city is in between Brasov and Bucuresti, so nearby. I'd recommend taking the Bran - Rucar road (if travelling from North to South) or even Transalpina (if you're a bit further out West of Brasov (ie. Sibiu). Sooo much to see (I know), but beautiful landscape and awesome spots of great historical importance. Brief details on Targoviste: - it was the capital of Wallachia (the southern of the 3 states that formed Romania (Transilvania, Moldova and Valahia)) for over 300 years before the capital was moved to Bucharest when all the Boyars (Boierii) moved there. It's also the city where Ceausescu and his wife were tried and executed on the morning of Dec 25th, 1989 - I believe there is now a small little "museum" there as well, if you can call it that. Lastly, near the city there is a monastery (Manastirea Dealu' - literally The Hill Monastery) on a hill and it is said the head of Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul) rests there. He was the first leader to unify all 3 states (Transilvania, Moldova, Valahia) in 1600 and is known for epic/legendary battles against the Ottomans. Happy travels! PS: I wrote my comment as you guys were at the Bran castle, but then kept watching and noticed that you were indeed taking the Bran - Rucar road, which I personally love. Too bad the weather is kinda crappy, but you guys are making the most of it.
I hope you went to Peles Castle too. Is near Brasov. Use google translate because the lady did not understand. Steve, maybe you have someone in your family from Romania, you really like all, food, houses, mountains....
Vlad II Dracul, the father of Vlad III Dracula (Țepeș / Impaler ) was the founder of the Drăculeşti dynasty, which lasted until the 17th century. The surname "Țepeș / Impaler" is actually a nickname (given by the Turks) given to Vlad III Dracula as a result of the method of stabbing used by him. This nickname, is associated with Vlad after his death, has remained in use to this day. The real name is Vlad Dracul(a).
Peleș (Pelesh) Castle is a must visit castle too. My nr 1 favorite castle from Romania. (but it's located in another mountains area (Sinaia) so in september it might feeI colder-ish probably like in Brașov too) :D Still a place to visit (like during spring or summer time) if you revisit this country in the future.
didn't look through the comments to see how many people said it already but if you want to see a castle in Romania go see Peleș Castle. among other things, its the first european castle entirely lit by electricity
I find myself watching vlogs from Romania lately ( probably missing home so bad) and yet never subscribed to any of them. You guys have a different vibe, so you got a new follower.
If you like castles you should really check Peleș Castle ( it’s about 1 hours south of Bran ) or Corvin’s Castle ( that’s pretty far away, but it’s amazing). Glad you are enjoying Romania! 😊
On the way to Danube Delta You should visit Râșnov Fortress and Peleș Castle. Posada Cinegetic Museum will be Something extremely interesting and is only 10 minutes from Sinaia. But If I were You, I would have stayed in Transilvania region.
Agree with you Steve, roadtrip always the best when travelling. The place reminds me of Switzerland. Thank you Steve & Ivana for Bran castle tour. Take care, stay safe and enjoy + hv fun. ❤️❤️
You should go West after this :) To Alba Iulia, Deva, Hunedoara, to Sarmizegetusa Regia (Timisoara is also beautiful but it's more far West, not sure you want to go that far); then you should go to Eselnita, Orsova, you can take a boat trip on the Danube then go further down to the Delta maybe.
I guess they don't have the required budget for that, but I completely agree that Sarmisegetusa Regia and Cazanele dunarii at Orsova, portile de fier and all those other great things around them would be more unique and enjoyable for both them and the viewers, compared to the danube delta, which most vloggers already covered. I suspect the guys from "Dabble and Travel" will cover some of those since they returned for another week, love to see two of my 3 favorite travel vloggers covering Romania at the same time, watching them both with same interest and level of appreciation.
I love the fact that you guys actually did some research on the actual castle where Vlad the Impaler lived. Great vlogs and i honestly hope you enjoy your stay in Romania so far.
@@Costello233 ai fost la Bran măcar, ai întrat înăuntru? Sau comentezi numa ampulea.... Totul este extraordinar de mic... Luminează ne tu deșteptule, de ce?
Ivana did a really good job of pronouncing “Bran!”
That chicken soup is national remedy for cold and flue...and is working. Hello and thank's for you're classic you tube work!!
What a beautiful unspoilt countryside!!! Wow that's a real cheap accommodation in the middle of the gorgeous countryside!!! And all that wonderful wholesome food!!! Enjoy guys!!!
ciorba is sour, supa is sweet. You guys ate supa de pui. :)
Wowww. ...nice🇷🇴🍻🇬🇧🍷🇷🇴
It's so much fun watching you guys, it's like I'm watching two friends telling stories about their trip. Awesome.
Wow this comment means a lot to us ❤️
Which they are!
Which they are!
One thing you can always count on from a Romanian is hospitality :)

so good you are alive and kicking ! Try to go Sighisoara, you wont regret, it is the best preserved medieval town in these mountains and part of the region
and keep warm !!!
15:38 "Afine" is the romanian word for blueberries. It is a home made bluberry liquor, the fruits are probably hand-picked from the nearby forrest
Ooooh okay! Thanks for this.
@@JetLagWarriors the liqueur from blueberries (afine) is called "afinată". The one from sour cherries (vișine) is called "vișinată". The one from figs (smochine) is called "smochinată". Etc.
The green thing is "rulada de spanac" wich means
spinach roll . . . .it s very good.hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for your wonderful castle 🏰 and museum vlog. Ivana's getting more beautiful and cute 🌹♥️
Love the countryside and the drone shots! Nice room!! Food looks delicious. Keep safe, healthy and happy.

Romanian Castle ranking:
1. Peles
2. Corvin

+ more fortresses and old ruins...

As I can see there all the food it’s home made all the ingredients from there all home made … I miss that chicken soup made by my grandmother 🙀😘
Hello from London. I have been once in Dracula's Castle and was very scary. Romania is beautiful.
6 STARS for Steve and Ivona,good luck and enjoy the trip :D
I think the lady gave you from her family's food cause she said they don't have food. But homemade food is the best
It is a super mistical place :))
I was fascinated as well :D

Guys, you should have a look at Mark Wiens Gastronomic tour of Romania! Especially since you will end up in Deltă!
That guy spends hundreds of dollars on a meal (not necessarily from his pocket), I don't think many tourists can afford that.
@@RaduRadonys Perhaps, but they could get ideas, in the food they could try! Especially in Deltă!

You should definetly go to Castelul Peleș. It is a very beautiful castel and it is very tourist friendly (with guide in english)
Woohoooo...the Romanian roadtrip is going to be an awesome one. Interesting tour around Dracula's Castle/Museum...oh gosh, lots of spooky stuff/souvenirs there.
Countryside looks spectacular...very peaceful and calm. Nice homestay/ room and food looks yum, yum, yum 👍👍👍

Thanks for this video n thanks for sharing your experience at d spooky castle.
Very interesting! I like the food n soup! Beautiful scenery....the meadows.....my kind of place ...but not the Dracula castle....spooky!
I have been to a few castles in England. One of which the castle was used for Harry Potter movie. Dracula verses Harry Potter.
2:17 recent Poenari Castle (Cetatea Poenari receive 3 millions euro from E.U. to be renovated , currently the castle is in bad shape and will be re-open for tourists in incoming 2 or 3 years.)
Oh, wow! This is great news
07:06 it's actually just a local pesant, that's a scythe in his hand used for mowing grass. If you go into the country more.. you'd see a lot more of them. Nice hard working people.
The guy from 7.08 cool it's the spitting image of local paisan imagine all people 3 or 2 hundred years ago looking similar
Yep, the guy was the real deal , real one, real current “ Bran-ian “ grandpa :))
6:32 She said it well :) 👍
You are so funny guys and very realistic also. I salute you from Deva , Romania.
Nice trip
Best veggies of Romania are called mici. Sorry guys, but pork flies everywhere in the country, at least in the countryside.

Glad that the two of you are feeling better and able to continue on your road trip. Stay safe and looking forward to more interesting vlogs. 🥰
Nice guys..... funny the way to pronounce....INCHIS!!😍😍
Nice road trip! You should visit the Peles Castle as well. It's not very far away from your location.
I ca not believe I stayed in the same accomodation as you in Fundata. A beautiful place. 🤗
That lady chosed the food for you! :)) it looks nice anyway
The guy who went by (min. 7:11) is an ordinary peasant, he was carrying a scythe, he probably had been working on the field or was going to.
Peleș (Pelesh) Castle is a must visit castle too. My nr 1 favorite castle from Romania. (but it's located in another mountains area (Sinaia) so in september it might feeI colder-ish probably like in Brașov too) :D Still a place to visit (like during spring or summer time) if you revisit this country in the future.
Superb traveller 😃💪💪💪
best videoi so far
I think that is the castle used in the movie Dracula, released in year 2020 as a 3 episode movie. I recommend it to you guys, it's pretty cool!.
See? You can be nice too! loved the video. keep up the good work!
You guys should go in Sinaia and visit Peles Castle ,it's amazing🤗
we will reach the delta tomorrow. I hope to see you :D in tulcea, on gorgova :)
didn't look through the comments to see how many people said it already but if you want to see a castle in Romania go see Peleș Castle. among other things, its the first european castle entirely lit by electricity
Guys ..you'll never forget Romania ! Stay here forever❤
I find myself watching vlogs from Romania lately ( probably missing home so bad) and yet never subscribed to any of them.

Thanks friend !!!
Thanks!
If you like castles you should really check Peleș Castle ( it’s about 1 hours south of Bran ) or Corvin’s Castle ( that’s pretty far away, but it’s amazing). Glad you are enjoying Romania! 😊
Corvin castle vlog coming soon!!
On the way to Danube Delta You should visit Râșnov Fortress and Peleș Castle. Posada Cinegetic Museum will be Something extremely interesting and is only 10 minutes from Sinaia. But If I were You, I would have stayed in Transilvania region.
Agree with you Steve, roadtrip always the best when travelling. The place reminds me of Switzerland. Thank you Steve & Ivana for Bran castle tour.
Take care, stay safe and enjoy + hv fun. ❤️❤️
“Look at this guy” it’s a Transylvanian peasant.
You should go West after this :) To Alba Iulia, Deva, Hunedoara, to Sarmizegetusa Regia (Timisoara is also beautiful but it's more far West, not sure you want to go that far); then you should go to Eselnita, Orsova, you can take a boat trip on the Danube then go further down to the Delta maybe.
They already visited Timisoara
I guess they don't have the required budget for that, but I completely agree that Sarmisegetusa Regia and Cazanele dunarii at Orsova, portile de fier and all those other great things around them would be more unique and enjoyable for both them and the viewers, compared to the danube delta, which most vloggers already covered. I suspect the guys from "Dabble and Travel" will cover some of those since they returned for another week, love to see two of my 3 favorite travel vloggers covering Romania at the same time, watching them both with same interest and level of appreciation.
@@AlexScafes ah yes, you're right. I forgot that they already did :)
i like your vibes
Hi, I I am a big fan of your Vlogs.Started to watch from your trip to Pakistan, really amazing..
Thanks friend ❤️
I love the fact that you guys actually did some research on the actual castle where Vlad the Impaler lived. Great vlogs and i honestly hope you enjoy your stay in Romania so far.

Did you notice how small everything is inside the Bran castle?
Vai ce clever esti de unde Le scoti ca suntem inmarmuriti de mintea ta stralucitore
@@Costello233 ai fost la Bran măcar, ai întrat înăuntru? Sau comentezi numa ampulea.... Totul este extraordinar de mic... Luminează ne tu deșteptule, de ce?
If you have time, go to Iasi. It's an amazing city with a lot of history and a beautiful castle
What do you think of the Dacia you've driven ? :D
