Brașov & Beyond — Castles, Cobblestones, and Just Enough Dracula
The guidebooks all say the same thing: Start in Brașov.
But here is the thing: we always prefer off-the-beaten path destinations, and Brașov is pretty touristy.
So, we preferred to stay near Zărnești. We were enchanted by foggy valleys and curious cows, but it was pouring rain, so no hike that day. We’d figured we’d swing through the region’s biggest name for the classics — Old Town charm, Dracula’s Castle, and whatever Transylvanian mystery we could cram into a day trip.
Spoiler: We weren’t blown away by Brașov. But that’s not really the point of this story.
Because around the edges of this tourist hotspot, the magic lingers — in weather-worn monasteries, A-frame cabins that vanish into clouds, and backroads that look like they’ve never heard of GPS.
This is Brașov & Beyond. A mini adventure through myth, fog, and a surprising amount of garlic.
