Because we travel mid October we were really fortunate that it was still open. The first part was magnificent with the sun shining through the colourful Autumn leaves. The road covered the southern section of the Carpathian mountains for 90 kilometers with steep hairpin bends, long S-curves and steep descents, climbs to 2,042 metres with snow in the upper sections. We stopped at Balea Lake and beautiful waterfall which was very peaceful as few people were travelling. some of the tunnels could be better lit however it really is a breath taking drive.

The citadel is reached by a climb of 1480 stairs (time to climb the stairs: 30 min). The view from the citadel it’s amazing. I suggest to make the effort! Excellent for a small hike. It took me about 15 min to climb - rather running than walking).

It is the biggest lake in Romania. It reminded me of Interlaken in Switzerland. One can have an amazing view over there, can have a toilet stop, and a decent snack or a trip by boat on the lake. It is worth seeing it
