Tour Itinerary & Scheduled Stops

• Experience Stop: Poenari Fortress is a historic citadel located in Romania, perched atop a steep cliff in the Carpathian Mountains. Built in the 13th century and later enhanced by Vlad the Impaler, it served as a strategic stronghold and a defensive fortress. Known for its dramatic views and association with the Dracula legend, the fortress is accessible via a challenging climb of over 1,400 steps, offering visitors a glimpse into medieval history and folklore. We see the fortress from exterior.
• Experience Stop: Vidraru Dam and Lake, located in Romania's Făgăraș Mountains, is a stunning hydro-engineering marvel completed in 1966. The curved arch dam, standing 166 meters high, creates Vidraru Lake, a serene reservoir surrounded by lush forests and dramatic peaks. A popular destination for tourists, it offers breathtaking views, boating, and serves as a gateway to the Transfăgărășan Road.
• Experience Stop: The Transfăgărășan Highway, often called one of the world’s most scenic roads, winds through Romania’s Făgăraș Mountains in the Carpathians. Built in the 1970s, this dramatic route features sharp hairpin turns, sweeping curves, and breathtaking views of rugged peaks, valleys, and waterfalls. A favorite for road trips, it connects Transylvania to Wallachia and offers iconic landmarks like Balea Lake and Poenari Fortress along the way.
• Experience Stop: Capra Waterfall, located in Romania near the Transfăgărășan Highway, is a spectacular natural attraction. Cascading from a height of over 40 meters, this alpine waterfall is fed by glacial waters and surrounded by lush greenery and rugged mountain landscapes. Easily accessible during the summer months, it offers visitors a refreshing stop with stunning views and the soothing sound of rushing water.
• Experience Stop: Curtea de Argeș Cathedral. Consecrated in 2018, the cathedral is one of the most ambitious religious construction projects in modern Romanian history. Architecturally, it blends traditional Orthodox cruciform planning with striking contemporary elements. The exterior is defined by gleaming white stone, soaring arches, and majestic domes that catch the sunlight, creating a powerful visual harmony with the surrounding Carpathian foothills. The interior is an immersive sanctuary of light and color. Unlike older, soot-darkened churches, the New Cathedral’s vast walls and vaults are adorned with vibrant, meticulous mosaic art rather than traditional frescoes. These golden-hued mosaics reflect candlelight across the soaring nave, creating a transcendent, ethereal atmosphere for worshippers and art lovers alike.
