Leaving Brasov behind and following the Carpathian mountain chain, reach the Fagaras fortress, one of the few in all of Europe that is still surrounded by its original water filled moat. Then, get your camera ready for some of the most spectacular sites you can imagine, while making your way up the Transfagarasan road. Make the ascension by vehicle or cable car. This road can be found on all the lists of the most beautiful roads in the world. After enjoying the perspective from over 6000 feet, return to the Transylvanian plateau and head for Sibiu. The streets of this German-looking town meet in the central squares, under the watchful “eyes” of the roof dormers. Despite its day-time tranquil feel, in the evening it becomes the host of numerous cultural events and festivals, especially since 2007, when it was the European capital of culture.
