Sibiu & the Făgăraș Mountains — Eyes on the rooftops, clouds in the peaks, and a trout that got away
We didn’t plan on the road vanishing. Or the fog rolling in like a movie set. But that’s what happens when you head into the Făgăraș Mountains in October — Romania has a habit of throwing a little mystery your way.
Before the mountains, though, came Sibiu — the kind of town where the buildings literally look back at you. It’s full of baroque charm, slow moments, and sleepy rooftops with “eyes” in the attic. And just outside, the ASTRA Museum offers an awesome open-air museum experience.
We stayed in Cârțișoara, a quiet village at the foothills of the Făgăraș Mountains with sweeping views — when the weather cooperates. Ours didn’t. The famed Transfăgărășan Road closed early, so no drive to Bâlea Lake. But we got monastery bells, steaming bowls of soup, and mountain mist instead.
