We will visit the famous Rasnov citadel, that dates from the 14th century and learn about its amazing history. Afterwards, we will continue our journey to Fortress Valley Cave, a very modern cave made of a special sort of fiberglass, which is strong, light, and does not emit any substances. We will also serve a traditional Romanian lunch followed by some Palinca tasting at a famous distillery!

Appreciative of the citadel’s location, you will be able to climb up to the fortress’s highest point and be rewarded with breathtaking views of rolling hills .The fortress was built as part of a defense system for the Transylvanian villages exposed to outside invasions. The fortress’s location is on the route of the invading armies, which were coming via the Bran pass, through Rasnov, then onward to Brasov. Taking refuge in the citadel was a great place for the locals to survive any invasion, and this resulted in many people staying in the fortification for decades.

As the owner would say: "At Palincaria Transilvania we produce in the traditional way, on a wood fire, only fruit distillates. We mainly use fruits from the area - apples, pears, plums - but we do not limit ourselves to these. Because we chose diversity, we use everything that Transylvania can offer us: the best grapes, the tastiest apricots, quinces, cherries, cherries or berries."
