Join us for an unforgettable journey through Romania and natural wonders in the beautiful Făgăraș Mountains.

Start your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in central or western Bucharest.

We’ll drive for two hours, then stop in the town of Curtea de Argeș to stretch our legs and grab a coffee before starting the actual tour.

We’ll pull up at the base of the mountain to admire from distance the legendary Poenari Fortress - the authentic castle of Dracula - Vlad the Impaler. Perched high on a rugged peak, this dramatic ruins site is best taken in from below (we do not hike the mountains to visit the interior). Here, you’ll uncover the fascinating history and real legends behind the man who inspired Dracula.

Next, marvel at the engineering feat of Vidraru Dam, one of the highest in Europe, and the stunning Vidraru Lake it created. Take in the awe-inspiring vistas as you stroll along the dam and capture views of the mountains reflected in the sparkling lake.

Venture into the heart of the Fagaras Mountains National Park, a region of unspoiled nature, lush forests, and alpine landscapes. This area is a paradise for nature lovers, offering a glimpse of Romania's pristine wilderness and various wildlife.

Brown bears are typically spotted during the warmer months, mainly from May to September. During the colder half of the year, they retreat to hibernate and are not visible along the route.

Continue your adventure at Capra Waterfall, one of the scenic highlights of the region.
The Capra Waterfall is known for its impressive height and picturesque setting, making it a popular spot for visitors who enjoy mountain landscapes and outdoor activities. The surrounding area is also rich in natural beauty, with rugged terrain, alpine meadows, and dramatic views of the surrounding mountains.

Next is Balea Glacial Lake (the place of view on the winding road), which is open only during the summer and early autumn months, typically open from June to mid October. This is because the top part of the road, leading from Capra Waterfall to Bâlea Lake (8 km) is closed in winter and spring due to snow and dangerous weather conditions.
