Bran (Dracula) Castle, Bear Sanctuary, Rasnov Fortress & Palinca Distillery
1. Observe up to 118 brown bears of various ages at the Sanctuary in Zarnesti (the biggest Brown Bear Sanctuary in Europe).
2. Visit the famous Bran Castle which initially served as military defense fortification, then as customs point and ultimately as one of the summer residences of the Romanian royal family.
It's a medieval castle with a royal touch, that's also linked to the Dracula legend. Besides touring the castle you also get free time for souvenirs in the bazaar at the footsteps of the landmark.
