I actually disagree that Bran Castle is not worth visiting. It is an important landmark for the country. Rasnov castle is awesome I love your video tho, well done ❤❤
The real Castle associated to Vlad Dracula, is Cetatea Poenari, 80 km away from Balea Lac, and close to Vidraru Dam. Sadly it wasn't open to public in the late years, but with January 2025 it will be opened again. It is well worth it to go there... I am from Romania
For me the southern part of the Transfăgărășan highway is the better (more spectacular and beautiful) part. I mean better than the northern part of it. When I say northern or southern part I mean north or south of the tunnel crossing the mountain ridge at the highest point of the road. The southern part has a lot more variation in the landscapes: more mountain valleys merging, the beautiful Vidraru lake, wild forested smaller mountains below the Vidraru lake with impressive road viaducts, the Poenari fortress, etc. Also the southern part (and valley) is way longer than the northern part, which also means a lot more to see and enjoy. It looks that you did not do the south part at all unfortunately. I recommend to do the whole of the Transfăgărășan highway and do that by going from South to North.
@@thetraveling3 Definitely! Also that's where the real Dracula castle is...Poenari Fortress! Another cool stop is at Vidradru dam..kinda Hoover dam of Romania. Then the old capital of Curtea de Arges... can't believe you actually decided to go back after reaching the top! missing out the best part
Anita, ce ma bucur sa vad imagini din Romania. Faceti videos foarte frumoase. Se vede ca ati avut o vacanta super vara aceasta, impreuna cu Andreea si Radu cu familia, si il vad si pe fratele tau Edy. Faceti un good job cu aceste videos si sunteti professional 👏👍 Ma delectez vizionand 😍 (Lili din Bothell, WA.)
Bran is a beautifull castle to bad about some kitschy decoration decisions.And also it's very crouded.Also our brown bears and grizzly are very closly related :P.
Hello from Romania! Yes, we have lots of beauties of nature here! I also started recently to explore our mountain area by hiking with other people. And on Transfăgărășan we also saw a bear near the road this September :) !
Nu prea. Pt cei veniti cu ani in urma, care au prins ipoteci sau chirii mult mai mici, e okay. Pt cei care au venit mai recent, in special cu copii - e jale!
If you're going to do a real hike or backpacking, proper gear is definitely recommended. We just did a short hike, and our regular (stiff sole) running shoes were good enough, we were just very careful with each step ☺️👍

Bran is more a citadel than a castle. It was built only for defense purposes. Imagine trying to conquer that building from outside. It would be not very easy.

Lol wtf are you smoking, pal? 🤣 Never heard a bigger idiocy in my life! Bears have been around these mountains for millenia! Also, to comment on one statement in the vlog, that is a brown bear. Same species as grizzly bears, those being a subspecies of the brown bear only found in the NW of the NA continent, if i remember correctly. There are a few more other subspecies of brown bears, you can google them up, i forgot some of those other names since last i checked. Grizzlies just evolved into bigger bodies, due to how much they've thrived on salmon and other abundent fauna up there in NA NW. What you can say is all grizzlies are brown bears but not all brown bears are grizzlies, to remember it easier. LE just played further and noticed you guys also addressed it a bit. And you mentioned people stopping to feed them. Not only is that extremely dangerous, but each fed bear will end up a dead bear, since they will start seeing humans as less of a risk and wander through villages and cities in search for food. Food that they are also now familiar with from all the idiots feeding them. They will be seen as threats and eliminated. Stop stop feeding the damn bears, all of you thinking about it! You are actually killing them!
dont eat at top of transfagarasan (tourist trap, the prices are at least 5 times more expensive) dont visit dracula castel, its also a tourist trap and a waste of money. we have more gorgeous castels, not that crap... (this is from a romanian)

nice video! I think Peles castle is a must see in Romania, maybe you get there.
Peleş is probably the most beautiful castle we've seen! 😍🇷🇴 We just released a video on it a couple of days ago 😀
Great to see your beautiful video about my country. Big hug from Sibiu (close to Transfagarasan).
Thanks so much for watching! 🫶 We're glad you enjoyed it ❤️🇷🇴

You should visit TransApuseana, Cluj-Napoca and the Maramureş region.
Those are all on our list for the next visit 😊🇷🇴

Cum e in canada? Se mai poate trai decent acolo?
Noi suntem din America :)

For everyone that wanna do that hike, or any other in the Carpathians mountains, get proper shoes.

Castelul Bran nu are nici o legatura cu Vlad Tepes..
Din cauza asta a trebuit să facem un research să vedem de ce se cheamă "Dracula's Castle" 😁 Cine știa că un film va avea un asemenea efect 🎥
@@thetraveling3 cred ca e documentat ca stat acolo ceva timp, doar atat
A stat în acel castel o perioadă. Refugiat.

Peles castle or Corvin's castle are so much better.
We completely agree. Peleș is incredible! We just released a video on it :)
