RASNOV RASNOV
Located at 10 km from Brasov, 5 km from Poiana Brasov, and 12 km from Bran
| Rasnov(Rosenau to the Saxon inhabitants) was founded around 1225 by German TeutonicKnights. Rasnov's impressive fortress was built in the 14th century to protect the people of Rasnov and surrounding villages from the numerous visits by people who thought this area would make a nice battleground. Although most buildings in the fortress lie in ruins, the views from the top of the fortress over the plains and mountains are magnificent, and the lack of busloads of tourists make the place feel much more authentic than Bran's touristy castle. To reach the fortress, climb up the steps from the square immediately below the fortress, or be lazy and drive up the road towards Poiana Brasov and turn left up a steep gravel road at the Cetate restaurant. |
