Three of us planned to visit fortified churches, yet misdirected to the wrong bus station and went to Bran castle instead. Bran Castle is commonly referred to as "Dracula's Castle". However, the alleged vampire Vlad Tepes never called that castle home, and it is unknown whether he even visited. The exterior of the castle is truly impressive. The ticket line was too long for weekends and we heard it is a bit of a disappointment inside, so we skipped the inside and has fun with the garden, cat shows, and gift shops. — checked in to Bran Castle.
The fortress Rasnov nearby Bran Castle is also interesting with fewer crowds. It has been reasonably reconstructed. The old fortress was built in the 14th century by the local Saxons to protect them from invaders and protect the Burtzenland's south eastern border. It offers a breathtaking view as it is located on a big hill. — checked in to Rasnov.
