A Picturesque Village

Bran Castle
The picturesque village of Bran, situated 16 miles SW of Brasov, is mostly famous for its 14th-century castle, sitting high atop of a 200ft tall rock.

But, during the 15th and 16th centuries it was an important frontier town on the main road leading from Transylvania into Wallachia.

Bran is surrounded by wooded hills, open pastures, rivers and high mountains.
