Bran Castle

Battling the crowds on the narrow road to Bran
Past Dracula signs
One thinks how did Irishman Bram Stoker imagine this place and create the legend Dracula
The narrow roads are thick with tourists inspired by the legend





The citadel at Sighisoara also claiming it’s part of the legend
Any where that Vlad the Impaler, (who Dracula is based on) stayed dines out on the legend
But the legend disguises the the true beauty of Transylvania


View from Bran Castle
The amazing country side of open pasture



And the old forests around Brasov
And some wonderful biking roads
Near Brasov

The Transfagarsan
And memorials that tell the tale of the fight for Romanian independendance. Achieved in 1918




Though the Habsburg empire still had influence in Romania till the Soviets exiled the remaining Duke in 1947.
Romania is a beautiful and varied country and I’ve still a week here
