Small-group max 7 - Top Gear Road - Transfăgărăşan Highway

Avoid big bus (coach) on the winding road! Join a small group (maximum 7) in a minivan! Our first destination is Curtea de Argeș Monastery, one of the most important and iconic religious landmarks. Here it is the burial place of Romanian royal family. The second is Poenari Fortress, once served as a castle for Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure who inspired the legend of Dracula. We will admire it from the outside and learn about its fascinating history. Next, we will visit the impressive Vidraru Dam, a remarkable feat of engineering from the 1960s that holds back the sparkling waters of Lake Vidraru. We then ascend into the Făgăraș Mountains National Park, where nature's beauty truly comes alive. Next is Balea Lake, the place of view on the winding road, open only from June to October, located at over 2,000 meters altitude. Here, you'll admire the famous winding Top Gear Road. On the way back we'll stop at Capra Waterfall, perfect for taking in the fresh mountain air.
