Overview

Begin your adventure with Curtea de Argeș Monastery, a famous Orthodox monastery. Built in 1514, it is one of the most important landmarks of Romanian religious architecture and a symbol of Romanian history and culture.

See from outside the historic Poenari Fortress, once a stronghold of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula), and admire its panoramic views.

We stop at the imposing Vidraru Dam, a marvel of engineering, where you can take in the stunning views of the reservoir and surrounding peaks.

We cross the Făgăraș National Park where we have chances to meet wild brown bears in their natural habitat.

We admire the goat waterfall and we can taste/buy some local products (cheeses, pastrama, jams, alcoholic beverages, etc.).

The destination is the Balea glacial lake, at over 2000 meters altitude, where we have lunch and free time for hiking and pictures.

This unique tour blends cultural discovery and scenic beauty, offering an unforgettable day in the heart of Romania.

Activity itinerary

Begin your adventure with Curtea de Argeș Monastery, a famous Romanian Orthodox monastery. Built in the early 16th century, it is one of the most important landmarks of Romanian religious architecture and a symbol of Romanian history and culture. Next is Poenari Fortress, built by Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) in 1456. Here we will not be able to enter the fortress but we will see it from the outside. Next is the massive engineering marvel of Vidraru dam, standing at 166 meters tall. Enjoy the stunning vistas of Vidraru Lake and the surrounding mountains while learning about the dam's role in Romania’s hydropower system. Travel along one of the world’s most spectacular roads, known as the “Road to the Sky.” Winding through the Carpathian Mountains, the Transfăgărășan offers hairpin turns, dramatic drops, and awe-inspiring views at every bend. We stop at the Capra waterfall to admire the beauty of the mountain. Conclude your tour at this glacial lake, nestled at 2,034 meters above sea level. Surrounded by rugged peaks, the lake offers an idyllic setting to relax, enjoy a traditional Romanian meal, or even take a dip in the cool alpine waters.
