It was founded in 1211 on an ancient Dacian site by the Teutonic Knights and was inhabited for centuries by the Saxons as one of the seven walled citadels. The town exudes a distinct medieval ambiance and, as such, has featured in many modern films.

A professional guide will take you through the rooms and the estate, highlighting details of the defensive architecture, and recounting some of the local tales that have been kindling for decades the imagination of the world.

You will then head to the Bucegi Natural Park: a protected mountainous area that includes several caves, canyons, ridges, sinkholes, valleys, waterfalls, pastures, and forests, offering shelter to a variety of flora and fauna.
