Bâlea Glaciar Lake (the view point to the winding drum) is accessible only in the summer and early autumn months, from June to October

We begin with the ruins of Poenari Fortress, perched dramatically above the Argeș River Valley. We’ll stop to admire the fortress from below and hear its connection to Vlad the Impaler, the real Dracula. Next, we wind our way up the mountains to the impressive Vidraru Dam, a massive hydro-engineering structure offering panoramic views. The journey continues higher into the Făgăraș Mountains, with stops at scenic viewpoints before reaching the breathtaking Bâlea Lake (open only from June to October), nestled at over 2,000 meters altitude. Before descending, we’ll also stop to admire Capra Waterfall – a beautiful cascade surrounded by unspoiled nature.

To ensure an enjoyable trip, we advise you to take note of the following points: • eating or drinking coffee inside the vehicle is disrespectful. • slamming the doors is considere offensive. • you have to enter and exit the vehicle using the door closest to your seat. These elements also apply when traveling by Uber, Bolt, or taxi in Romania.
