We leave the crowds behind and head into a quiet, pastoral valley. Here lies Corbii de Piatră (The Stone Crows), an extraordinary monastery carved into a 30-meter high sandstone wall. You will see the oldest cave paintings in the country and learn about the legends of giants and ancient Dacian hermits. Right next to it, we will visit "Mama Uța’s Blue House", a picture-perfect traditional cottage built under a massive boulder.

Gear up for an adventure! We will climb the 1,480 steps through a lush forest to reach the ruins of Poenari. Perched high on a cliff, this is the actual fortress built by Vlad Tepes. Your guide will separate the Hollywood myths from the blood-stained truth of Dracula while you enjoy panoramic views of the Transfăgărășan canyon.

After conquering the steps of Dracula's Castle, we will treat you to a well-deserved lunch break at a beautiful resort perched right on the shores of Lake Vidraru. You can relax on the terrace overlooking the breathtaking Carpathian peaks and enjoy fresh local trout, traditional Romanian dishes, and the famous "papanași" dessert while soaking in the wild mountain views.
