Transfagarasan Highway and Fagaras Fortress Day Trip From Brasov
About This Experience
During the drive we stop at the Balea Waterfall. Here we take a look at the souvenir shops and taste some of the local snacks.
There are other stops scheduled at spectacular viewing points. The drive includes a pass through the tunnel and a descent on the Southern side until the Capra Waterfall (a smaller but highly spectacular waterfall). There we can taste numerous types of cheese and meats including deer and wild-boar salami.
We return through the tunnel and stop at Balea Lake. There you can have a proper lunch, and we can have a easy hike around the lake.
Other short stops for spectacular roadside landscapes are also included.
The Fagaras Fortress can be admired from the outside or we can have a longer stop and tour the inside too., before we head back to Brasov!
