ROMANIA: EXPLORING the MEDIEVAL CITADEL and FORT of RASNOV ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the Râșnov Fortress (Romanian: Cetatea Râșnov) which is a historic monument and landmark in Romania. It is situated in Râşnov, Brașov County, in the immediate vicinity of Brașov. The fortress was built as part of a defence system for the Transylvanian villages exposed to outside invasions. A decisive aspect for building the fortress at its location was the route of the invading armies which were coming from the Bran pass and were passing through Râșnov, on their way to Braşov and other parts of the Burzenland region. The only chance of survival for the inhabitants of the area, including from Cristian and Ghimbav, was the refuge inside the refuge castle at Râşnov. Compelled to stay there for decades, the people of Râșnov and the nearby villages turned the fortification into their long-term place of residence.

Winter 3-Day TOUR București - Brașov - Sibiu [February, 2012]
ENGLISH: The first time I had the courage in 2012 for a weekend railtrip through the Romanian railway stations was in the middle of February, when snow from Predeal slightly exceeded 1 meter, and in Sibiu ... 1 cm. But the mantle of historical flair of European Capital in 2007, Hermannstadt, was more important than the mantle of snow through Museum exhibits steam engines of locomotives and motorcars Depot exposed here.
But Brasov is not an inferior point of tourist attraction, especially if we consider the thousands of railway students that went out from schools in the field near the Depot Brasov, including my father. From here, under the Tâmpa hill, was founded the first private passenger transport company in Romania, Regiotrans, whose units you can watch in a few moments in this video.
For train enthusiasts, many diesel locomotives, 060-DA Sulzer engine or EGM GeneralMotors engine and generator accompanied by the Siemens Desiro railcars or by the attractive modernized ex-DB VT 614 Remarul February 16 is a proper environment for as many shots of cameras or frequently pushes of the red RECORD button of the camcorder.
Finally, it only remains for me to wish you pleasant viewing! I wish you all the best!
ROMÂNĂ: Periplu FeRoviaR de iarnă între București, Brașov și Sibiu [Februarie, 2012]
Prima oară când mi-am făcut curaj în 2012 pentru un periplu de un week-end prin stațiile și pe Căile Ferate Române a fost în mijlocul lui februarie, când zăpada de la Predeal depășea lejer 1 metru, iar în Sibiu... 1 centimetru. Însă mantaua cu iz istoric din Capitala Europeană din 2007, Hermannstadt, era mult mai însemnată decât mantaua de nea datorită exponatelor Muzeului de Locomotive cu Aburi din Depoul de Locomotive și Automotoare de aici.
Dar nici Brașovul nu este mai prejos, mai ales dacă ne gândim la miile de feroviari care au ieșit de pe băncile școlilor de profil de pe lângă Depoul Brașov, printre care și tatăl meu. Tot de aici de sub Tâmpa a luat ființă prima companie de transport privat de călători din România, Regiotrans, ale cărei automotoare le puteți urmări în câteva momente din videoclip.
Așadar, invitat de prietenii mei pasionați de trenuri, Vasy din Brașov și Andrei din Sibiu, am făcut drum de la București până la Sibiu și cale întoarsă înapoi în capitală în decursul a 48 de ore trăite dens, cu trenuri frumoase, dar care s-au lăsat așteptate atât la Dârste, cât și la Sibiu sau în incredibil de bine luminată pe timp de noapte gară a Brașovului.
De asemenea, traseul Brașov - Sibiu, parte a Magistralei 200, pregătește călătorilor câteva stații cu o arhitectură aparte: Perșani sau Brădet, în timp ce decorul natural al râului Olt și al Țării Făgărașului închide în mintea privitorului relieful calm, dar ferm, al Podișului Transilvaniei. La fel, pentru pasionații de trenuri, numeroasele locomotive diesel, 060-DA cu motor Sulzer sau 060-EGM cu motor și generator GeneralMotors, acompaniate de automotoare Siemens Desiro sau cele ex-DB VT 614 modernizate atractiv de Remarul 16 Februarie reprezintă un mediu propice pentru cât mai multe declanșări ale aparatelor de fotografiat sau ale butoanelor roșii de RECORD ale camerelor video.
În fine, nu-mi rămâne decât să vă doresc vizionare plăcută la o prezentare video redusă la extrem și care vizează principalele momente ale călătoriei, în curând urmând să apară și edițiile desfășurate ale reportajului. Toate cele bune vă doresc!

Astra Historic Village Museum Near Sibiu Romania E028
I made a day trip with two friends (Yuval and Nozomi) to the Astra Museum which is really more of a historic village. One of the highlights was learning how to use a manual scythe to mow grass! Each of us took a try at it! Enjoy!

Visiting Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) in Transylvania, Romania
With howling winds we ascended the many steps leading up to the infamous Bran Castle. The castle associated with Bram Stoker's Dracula Castle is a national landmark and monument in Transylvania, Romania (Romanian: Castelul Bran; Hungarian: Törcsvár; German: Törzburg). We found the experience fascinating as most areas of the castle were open for tourists to explore including some dimly lit staircases. After checking out the castle we headed back down to briefly check out a market selling all kinds of trinkets and restaurant featuring hearty Romanian cuisine. Overall, if you're based in Brasov this makes for a fantastic 'spooky' day trip ;)

Visiting Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) in Transylvania, Romania Travel Video Transcript:
So at last the destination we've been waiting for. We have arrived in Bran to visit Bran Castle which may or may not be associated with the Dracula. Hahaha. Let's go!
Oh ho ho, it's going to blow me over.
This is officially one of the windiest places I have ever experienced. The castle sits on a really rocky cliff so you get wind coming in every direction possible. And it is pretty crazy. We're just hiding out in this little nook for now.
Bran Castle sits on the border between Wallachia and Transylvania and it is the setting of Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula. That being said, there are other castles in Romania linked to the legend of Dracula.
We're now entering the secret staircase.
Now we're checking out the torture chamber rooms and it is pretty gruesome the methods that were used back in the day. It makes feel quite lucky to be alive this present moment.
Overall impressions of Bran Castle? It was phenomenal. What really surprised me is that from a distance it doesn't look that big but when you get inside there is a lot to explore. Like we probably spent well over an hour just checking all of the different rooms, climbing up and down the stairs and just getting an overall impression of the caste.
Alright, so now that we have visited the castle it is time to go for lunch and I am hungry.
So it is very cold day here in Bran and it is also lunchtime so we've popped into a little restaurant and we're trying to warm up with the hottest, heartiest foods we can find. I'm having some soup with some polenta and a cup of tea. Sam's gone with a salad and the beef. Meh, a little healthy a little bland but here we are enjoying our Romanian lunch.
So the food I'm most excited about trying is something called Romanian Mici and if you look down here it's kind of like a pork sausage or a pork roll. And, oh wow, check this out. Oh, that looks good. It almost looks like a spicy sausage.
Mmmmm. That is an amazing sausage. So juicy, so tasty, so flavorful. I love it. Oh, now I'm going to try some next.
So the polenta with cheese has arrived and it looks a little bit different from what I had yesterday. Yesterday my polenta came with cottage cheese and sour cream but this one appears to have cheese melted on top so I think maybe they put it in the oven. It looks like it was kind of baked. Yeah, baked polenta. Look at the gooey cheese. Oh la la. Wow. That's going to be hot. Mmmm.
I think it actually has goat cheese in the middle. Like a salty goat cheese and then mozzarella on top. Pretty good.
After lunch, we did a little wandering around the town and we found that it reminded us of Halloween with all its spooky trinkets and souvenirs.
There is a cool little market nearby the Bran Castle selling all kinds of trinkets including warm hats, Halloween costumes and other kinds of souvenirs.
Hello, pup. Hello. Meet Dracula's dog. Or are you a wolf? You're a wild wolf. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
It's biting my ass now. It's not a game anymore puppy. No, hey. Hahahahaha.
This is part of our Travel in Romania series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Romanian culture, Romanian arts, Romanian foods, Romanian religion, Romanian cuisine and Romanian people.

City Moments Brasov City Romania
ENG:
Brașov (Romanian pronunciation: [braˈʃov] ( listen); German: Kronstadt; Hungarian: Brassó, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈbrɒʃʃoː]; Medieval Latin: Brassovia or Corona; 1950–1960: Orașul Stalin) is a city in Romania and the administrative centre of Brașov County.
The city was described in 1235 AD under the name Corona, a Latin word meaning crown, a name given by the German colonists. According to Binder, the current Romanian and Hungarian names are derived from the Turkic word barasu, meaning white water with a Slavic suffix -ov.[2] Other linguists proposed various etymologies including an Old Slavic anthroponym Brasa[3][4]
The first attested mention of Brașov is Terra Saxonum de Barasu (Saxon Land of Baras) in a 1252 document. The German name Kronstadt means Crown City and is reflected in the city's coat of arms as well as in its Medieval Latin name, Corona. The two names of the city, Kronstadt and Corona, were used simultaneously in the Middle Ages.
From 1950 to 1960, during part of the Communist period in Romania, the city was called Orașul Stalin (Stalin City), after the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

On top of the Tampa Mountain, Brasov, amazing cityscapes (1/2) #Brasov - ????️ Travel video
Tâmpa is a mountain, part of the Postăvarul Massif, located in the southern part of the Eastern Carpathians and almost entirely surrounded by the city of Braşov. Its elevation is 960 m, almost 400 m above the city.
Most of the mountain is a declared nature reserve, due to the rare animal and plant species that are found there: a rare Liverleaf variety (Hepatica transsilvanica), birds, 17 rare wasp species, butterflies (35% of Romanian butterfly species are here), bears (the brown bear is a protected species, for the conservation of which the European Community has a special responsibility due to the low proportion of its area within the EU).
The view from the summit is absolutely spectacular, offering a panoramic landscape of the city; on a clear day, the entire Burzenland is visible. (Burzenland is a historic and ethnographic area in southeastern Transylvania, Romania with a mixed population of Romanians, Germans and Hungarians.)
Tampa mountain is not only an amazing tourist attraction, but it's also one of the most legendary places in Brasov.
The best known are those that talk about the existence of a large underground lake or the fact that there are some tunnels that break through the mountain.
If the lake was not discovered, the existence of some tunnels dug in the mountain is real. Today, only one of them is practical and links the former Council House (today Brașov County Museum of History) to one of the towers of the old city. The others have fallen over time and are closed.
Recorded in early spring, during our trip in Transylvania.
