Reviewed By 118val - Shepparton, Australia
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.

This tower is the symbol of Targoviste. It is old and it had many uses (guard tower, bell tower and others to discover). The entry for the whole complex for an adult is 12 ron. From the top there is a splendid virw of the city and on the way you get a little lesson of romanian history (would be good of all of it is also translated into english). Visit it!

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).

If you go to Romania, you cannot miss out on a hiking trip in the Bucegi Mountains. We did a one day hike, and I wished we could do some more and stayed more time in that region. The blue cross hike up from Busteni to the Babele is breathtaking, adventurous and awesome! Don't miss out.
