There was a time when Bran town and castle were empty of tourists. We could spend hours without seeing a soul around. As for mountains, Romanian Carpathians got 91 major mountains, 84 over 1000 m high, home to over 60% of Europe's ancient forests. Cheers
That’s amazing!!! I hope that the next time we visit it is like that 😅😅 And that’s awesome! The forests here have been particularly breathtaking. Currently watching them go by on our train from Bucharest to Braşov, where we’ll be exploring for the next few days!!
Thank you so much!!! We are loving it here 💛🇷🇴 Currently on the train from Bucharest to Braşov, and we can’t wait to continue exploring this wonderful country 🤗
@WyattandReyka i was just watching the whole video that you posted and you 2 guys are amazing. Enjoy the rest of the trip and i hope you will have the opportunity to visit another places also why we have few interesting places and traditional food !
Oh you are so sweet!! Haha!! Thank you so much. We are so excited about these next days exploring Romania. Such a fun country 🇷🇴🥰 And we can’t wait form Braşov and Cluj Napoca!! Hoping to edit our second Bucharest video tonight and get it up by tomorrow! 🤗
@@WyattandReyka Guys, if you go to Cluj and you're into spooky stuff, you have to visit the Hoia Baciu Forest. Crazy content idea: Livestream from the haunted forest.
We UNFORTUNATELY cannot rent a car here in Romania because we forgot to get our International Driver’s License before coming. We do hope to visit Pele’s castle though!! And next time we will definitely try to make it to that road!! We are currently on the train from Bucharest to Braşov, which we will explore for the next 2 days, and then on to Cluj Napoca! Can’t wait to explore more of this amazing country Romania 🇷🇴 🥰
@@WyattandReyka take care, Cluj Napoca is the most expensive city in romania :) its beautiful tho, if u want a quick good food there, try Penemar, its actually a very little shop, and a verry good one, oh and its close to coffetzi ( a romanian tiktok-er's coffee shop, its also pretty small, but its good coffee)
We've been watching and enjoying your channel for a while. It's nice to see nice, educated and respectful young people( like yourselves), without body piercings and tattoos.❤

@@vincent4810 yeah I totally understand, it's a pitty tbh but not everyone is low class or uneducated just because they have tattoos; it depends, many see this as a form of expressing personality, feelings and experiences and that doesn't make them morrons or anything like that
Is interesting how people thinks Romania is a bad country getting lied about it all their life and after they come here in Romania they get socked how nice all is in Romania. If you think Romania is so nice, respect it, do not talk bad about this country. Because we do not get too much respect form many so call "western developed countries".
We did not ever think Romania was abad country! We just did not know what to expect. And it is amazing! Hopefully these videos will show our viewers just how marvellous it really is 🥰
Yes! We are on the Bucharest -> Braşov train again right now and I think we just passed it!! Maybe we will take the quick trip tomorrow to go visit it 🤗🥰 Cheers friend!
Bun venit in Romania!...Este cea mai frumoasa tara din Europa..Va recomand sa vizitati Sighisoara singurul oras medieval locuit..Daca ajungeti in Maramures vizitati cimitirul vesel de la sapinta,singurul cimitir vesel din lume..Aveti multe de vizitat in Romania.
Thank you so much!! 🇷🇴 Yes we loved the castle and hope to visit more places around Romania! We are currently back on the train from Bucharest to Braşov 🤗
Vlad lived in many places. He may have lived in Bran as his father was an officer in the Hungarian army and was awarded the dominion of Bran. Not quite clear, but I believe the dominion of Bran was passed on to Vlad Tepes. There's a crazy theory that he escaped to Hungary and lived with his wife to an older age.
The real castle of Vald Tepes or Vlad the Impaler is the Castle of Poenari to visit the castle you have to climb 1480 steps, the landscape is more impressive than in Bran and the view takes your breath away, and btw i forgot to tell you WELCOME TO ROMANIA and enjoy your stay here
if u have the chance go to the corvin castel, literally most beautiful castel ( if u use a drone it will be amazing), and the pels castle has some of the most beautiful views
Actually there is not any mentions between Vlad III Basarab a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler a.k.a. Dracula and Bran's Castle, but is almost sure that Vlad the Impaler knew very well this castle. But if you want to see the real Dracula's castle go to visit the Poenari Castle (Argeș County), which is not so far away from Bran's Castle. Even if Poenari Castle is in ruined today, the landscape, the view from this location are so AMAZING. So good luck guys and greetings from Ploiesti, Romania.
Hi there!! Maybe we will visit this castle in the next few days!! 🥰 We get to Braşov in about 20 minutes and so maybe we will take the train to Poenari castle! Thank you 🤗
You can use "mersi"(pronounced as "merci" in French) instead of "multumesc" if you find it easier. There are some nuances in usage, but for someone who doesn't know the language, it's perfectly fine. "Mersi" is more like "thanks", "multumesc" is more like "thank you" and "multumesc frumos" is more like "thank you very much". LE: Regarding the bears, they are very many and they do come into towns, so watch out. If a bear is spotted in the town, you will receive an emergency SMS on your phones.
Such great feedback!! We will definitely stick to Merci from now on! 🥰 And woah 😳 We’re really glad we are just learning that after exploring haha. Could’ve turned into a very different video lol Tomorrow in Bucharest we begin filming our Romanian food tour, which we will also film dishes in Braşov and Cluj-Napoca. Very excited! Let us know if you have any recommendations! 🤗
@@WyattandReykatraditional restaurants in Bucharest with stunning architecture: Caru' cu bere (The beer cart) and Hanul lui Manuc (Manuc's Inn, the oldest hotel in Bucharest). Another place to eat: La Mama, a restaurant chain with great food. Or just pop in some place selling takeaway lunches to people. I would advise to try one of our sour soups (ciorba): meatball sour soup (ciorba de perisoare), ciorba rădăuțeană ( with chicken and sour cream), tripe soup if you are brave (ciorba de burta), bean soup with hock, cabbage soup. Near Universitate Square there is a restaurant called Pescarul (The Fisherman) where you can have fish soup. As seconds try sarmale with polenta /mămăligă, even polenta with white cheese and sour cream, or polenta with mushrooms stew. Go to a grill to try mici (not in restaurants, they need to be made on an open fire). Go to a marketplace, try "must" (freshly squeezed unpasteurised grape juice, even better when it slighly enters fermentation, but take care), mutton pastrama on the grill. For desserts try the papanaşi. Or go to a marketplace and see those selling homemade cakes, like Dobos or others (from Friday to Sunday there is one in front of Academia Militară, you can take the M5 metro there, or just get off at Eroilor metro station and walk there, it is small, but has delicious things to eat).
@@WyattandReyka Buy a bear spray and keep it in your backpack but within reach, better to have it and not need it. If you go on the Transfagarasan highway up to Balea lake and down to the Vidraru damm you will see bears on the side of the road, begging for food from the tourists. But do not feed them as the govt. has installed cammeras and will punish the people that feed the bears, as many tourists do not understand not to do it, and they have taught the bears to associate humans with food now, and the state has started to relocate and even shoot some bears because of the issue starting to get out of control. Loong sentence 😅
@@WyattandReyka I'd say try lamb pastrami with polenta at Nishani restaurant. You could also try, the Obor Mici, they are pretty famous, but its a long queue there usually, search about them. If you want fish plates you could also try Rare Garden, they have carp brine with polenta, fried anchovies and some good mix of romanian and aromanian food. Also for lunch menus you could go to City Grill Covaci, they have some decent lunch menus for only 7 euros or something. You have to try "sarmale", basically some cabbage rolls with meat and rice inside them. They are served with polenta. You find this at City Grill Covaci, and the traditional romanian restaurants in general.
@@mimisor66 La mama doesn't have good food anymore, and Pescarul has some bad reviews, I wouldn't recommend them to people. Agree with the rest of your post.
When your hungry on the street in Bucharest or in Romania in gnr buy a shaorma , believe me that will be your meal for all day & it' s soooo good. You can choose what to put on your shaorma. In Bucharest the best ones are from turcks in my opinion. ❤ or try " mici " our traditional food . " Mici " & sarmale are the best . " mici " translated " the small ones" ❤ those are called " iele " ( the females dancing in white ) ❤
AMAZING suggestion!! We saw your message while exploring harastrau park and decided to get some shoarma. Sooooo delicious! Thank you very much 🥰 it will be in our next video on bucharest!
You ve been in Rasnov!? Interesting choice, the tourists usually are going to Brasov after Bucharest, Rasnonv is smaller and not as popular as Brasov but it is still very beautiful
It was soooo beautiful!! We actually are going to visit Braşov tomorrow 🥰 We are on the train there now, we will sleep there tonight, and then explore in the morning! Cannot wait to visit more of this awesome country 🤗
We are on the train from Bucharest to Braşov now. Is it possible to get off the train and see it easily? Is it worth it? The problem is we have our luggage with us. We looked up pictures and it looks beautiful. Thank you!! 🙏
Amazing!! We now know how to say them correctly 🥰 Romania has been an absolute dream. So pretty! We are traveling to Bra-shov on train right now and the countryside passing by is breathtaking!!
We will visit Braşov and Cluj-Napoca!! We thought about Sibiu, but it seems very far out of the way unfortunately. But we’re soooo excited about Cluj. Where is Sinaia?! Thank you!
Dracula's castle (Bran) is a tourist trap but I'm glad you guys liked it. If you want to get a real kick on Halloween you should check the Padurea Hoia Baciu (Hoia the Sheepherder Forest). Sighisoara is nearby, that's where Vlad was born and you can visit the house where he was born. The citadel is extremely beautiful and there's an awesome panorama next to the clock tower. There's also a house in Budapest where Vlad supposedly lived his last years. According to new evidence that fits the local legends, Vlad wasn't murdered but evaded as he was a master of disguise and fled to Hungary where he lived on his wife's estate for the rest of his life. True or false, worth a visit as he certainly lived there for a while too.
Hi!!! And yeah haha we’ve realized that even if something is a tourist trap that doesn’t make it not worth it. In the case of Dracula’s castle, as you saw, we had a great time 🤗 Funny you say that, we actually just passed through sighisoara on the way to cluj napoca from brasov by train! Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get out but hopefully next time we’re in Romania we can stop and check it out! 🥰
@@constantinvalentina2183 He said Europe. Russia in not an European country (and i'mm not mean EU...but an Asian one (behavior, mentality, aggression etc).
You are so sweet!!! And thank you for the message. We didn’t have time to visit Peles castle, but today we take the train to Cluj-Napoca! Cannot wait! 🤗
you know that this is the castle where Vlad Tepes reigned and which is associated with Dracula by people, but actually the castle referred in to Bram Stoker's book is in Bistrita County, Piatra Fantanele Village. There you will find the Cemetery that is mentioned in the book, the Pass called Pasul Tihuta, etc.
-''Are there bears in Romania?'' haha, Romania has the largest bear population in Europe (except for Russia but most of Russia is in Asia anyway) so yeah. I live in Brasov and especially during summer time at night there is almost every night at least a bear walking around on the streets somewhere in the city
That is crazy!!! We would have never known if there weren’t a sign there 😂 Currently on the train from Bucharest to Braşov and we’ll explore the city of Braşov tomorrow! Maybe we will see you around! Haha. Let us know if you have may recommendations for the city. Cheers new friend! Don’t get attacked by a bear! 😂
Nice to see that turists like Romania compared to romanians who always have to say something bad. :) We have a lot of bears, not just some far in the mountains.
Sometimes it’s tough to view our homes with a little objectivity! We get it! We hate on the United States when there, but after we return from a long trip abroad we are always thankful for the many luxuries the U.S. offers 🤗🥰
GREAT VIDEO.GLAD YOU GUYS ENJOY YOUR TRIP SO FAR///IN MY OPINION PELES CASTLE IN SINAIA JUST 80 MIN AWAY FROM BUCHAREST BY TRAIN IS WAY BETTER /// THE ROYAL FAMILY BUILT AND OWNED THE PALACE SINCE 1873 BEING THE FIRST ELECTRIFIED CASTEL IN EUROPE AT THAT TIME...HOPEFULLY YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO VISIT/TICKETS ARE CHEAP
Thank you soooo much!! We are on the train to Braşov from Bucharest right now. Is it possible to stop at Pele’s castle and then catch the next train up? Thank you! 🙏🥰
@@WyattandReyka haha have fun there really nice and beautiful city but just stay in the car and everything should be fine. And most of the times theres going to be Ro Alert it is what its name sugest it alerts you in case of anything, most ro alerts in brasov are about a loose bear but happens mostly at night and by mostly i mean once every 2-3 weeks or it can happen in months so dont worry about the bears :)
The planes in the sky have gotten many times more than they used to be, once the war in Ukraine started and Nato started bringing heavy equipment in Romania.
Bran is a tourist trap and it's sad that it seems most tourists and definitely all the youtubers don't find out that right next to Bran, like 10km's away, there's places to go to that are so much better than going to Bran castle: the foothills between Bucegi and Piatra Craiului mountains! Hop in a taxi from Bran and go to Amfiteatrul Transilvania, Moieciu de Sus/Fundata villages and Magura/Pestera villages, with stunning views of the mountains and rolling hills, especially in autumn at the end of october and culturally interesting too as these are typical scattered mountain villages, especially if you walk between Pestera and Magura. So much better than wasting time at Bran
We will remember your suggestions!! Thank you!! It is definitely a tourist trap at Bran, but we still enjoyed haha! Cool history and pretty castle. Raşnov was beautiful too! We are on the train from Bucharest up to Braşov again right now so maybe we will make it out to the foothills between Bucegi and Piatea Craiului 🤗
@@WyattandReyka Oh that'd be cool, for me that's the best area to visit around Brasov and the autumn colors should still be there. I went there just last week, I go every autumn, it's so beautiful! You can take a taxi from Bran or you can go from Brasov to Zarnesti(there's trains every hour, it's a town a few km from Rasnov and over the hill from Bran, same area basically but I prefer it over all of them, you could even stay there, there's 2 accommodations I always use, 3 Brazi or Hora cu Brazi, where they also have some animals) and take a taxi from there. You could go to Amfiteatrul Transilvania and then hike down to Moieciu de Sus on the Ecotourist trail 8(Traseu ecoturistic 8, you should find it online), the longer section through Cheile Gradistei ,Poiana Andolia. Or you can take the trail that goes down to Cheia, it should show on google maps, it's an easy, 1h30min walk or so on a very clear trail with views of the mountains. Highly suggest the trail between Pestera village and Magura village, also very easy walk and the best to get a feel of these old mountain villages, with great views. You can reach there easily from Zarnesti with the taxi through Magura or start in Pestera, the road up to Pestera is close to Bran. Bran and the resorts around Sinaia(Predeal, Busteni) are overly touristy. Btw, there is bears in that area, there's bears EVERYWHERE in and around mountains in Romania, we have the most bears in Europe after Russia and Brasov area is FULL of bears, there's bears even in Brasov. In Sinaia(Predeal and Busteni too, especially Busteni) it's fairly likely to have bears come down looking for food on the street. In Zarnesti and Magura/Pestera villages, all these villages on the hills, I think during the day it's unlikely to meet a bear, especially on those trails going from one to the next along the exposed hills aka not in the woods, I've not met one and I go several times a year, it's not quite as bad but they are around. Just avoid being on the trail around sunset, talk when you're on the trail and definitely don't run or throw things at a bear if you see one, which you probably won't there but still.
If you make a romanian food video, I suggest the following foods: 1. Papanași, no1 dessert in the world. 2. Rădăuțeană Soup. 3. Sarmale- cabbage rolls 4.Mici- a small form of meat , eaten with mustard. Enjoy this food. You wont regret it.
We tried Papanaşi and Sarmale yesterday!! Soo good 🥰 And we will definitely try that soup and mici in our Romanian food tour 🤤🤤 Cheers friend!! Thank you for the recommendations 🇷🇴🙏
In Bucharest yesterday we ate at Hanu’lui Manuc and it was delicioussss! We particularly liked Sarmale, Mamaliga and Romanian donuts! Arriving to Braşov from Bucharest in about 15 minutes tho so maybe we will try some more Romanian food tonight 🤗🥰
Romanian cities need at least 50 years of investment to look decent. Bucharest 100 years 🤮 Sibiu is smal. Sinai’s even smaller and peles Castle is a disaster under renovation - don’t go there. The only cities I would recommend visiting in Romania are Cluj and Oradea.
We are currently on the train back to Braşov from Bucharest, and then we will go to Cluj!! Cannot wait!! It looks so beautiful. Have not heard of Oradea but we will add that to the list! Cheers. Also, we liked Bucharest! Old town was amazing and the Palace is sooo big! We will post another video about Bucharest soon 🥰
Good families will keep a nice place. Bad families will keep a bad place. There are good places where you can visit Romania then there are bad places where you can go to raise troops for a band of haiduci.

The castle of Vlad Tepes was actually the Poenari Castle, close to the Transfagarasan. If you come back to Romania, visit it, it is really worth it.

We will visit Braşov and Cluj-Napoca!! We thought about Sibiu, but it seems very far out of the way unfortunately. But we’re soooo excited about Cluj. Where is Sinaia?! Thank you!
@WyattandReyka it's not far from Brasov, just type Sinaia or Castelul Peles on maps so you can have a better understanding
Will do thank you!
Brasov - LETS GOOOOO. Best city.
We arrive to Braşov to stay for a few days in about 45 minutes!! We are on the train again from Bucharest. So excited!! It looks beautiful 🥰🤗
Dracula's castle (Bran) is a tourist trap but I'm glad you guys liked it.
If you want to get a real kick on Halloween you should check the Padurea Hoia Baciu (Hoia the Sheepherder Forest).
Sighisoara is nearby, that's where Vlad was born and you can visit the house where he was born. The citadel is extremely beautiful and there's an awesome panorama next to the clock tower.
There's also a house in Budapest where Vlad supposedly lived his last years. According to new evidence that fits the local legends, Vlad wasn't murdered but evaded as he was a master of disguise and fled to Hungary where he lived on his wife's estate for the rest of his life. True or false, worth a visit as he certainly lived there for a while too.
Hi!!! And yeah haha we’ve realized that even if something is a tourist trap that doesn’t make it not worth it. In the case of Dracula’s castle, as you saw, we had a great time 🤗
Funny you say that, we actually just passed through sighisoara on the way to cluj napoca from brasov by train! Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get out but hopefully next time we’re in Romania we can stop and check it out! 🥰
wellcome to Romania :)
Thank you very much!! 🥰🇷🇴 we love Romania!!
You should try "covrigi cu ciocolată"; they are really good! 😋
Next time we will!! That sounds delicioussss haha 🥰
Romania has the second largest population of bears from Europe. So, there is no surpize to meet a bear on the road.
Second after Russia, I guess.
@@constantinvalentina2183 He said Europe. Russia in not an European country (and i'mm not mean EU...but an Asian one (behavior, mentality, aggression etc).
@@dynescuIf we don't count Russia, then we have the largest population of bears by far.
That is a bit terrifying! 😅
We are taking the train from Bucharest to Braşov today I hope we do not see one 🤗
Rusia 3 sferturi în Asia 1 sfert în Europa și în România e cea mai mare populație de urși aproape 10000
Cred că zâmbetul lui Alex 1:35 …
Și faptul că merge la Bran …
Și faptul că dinții lui sunt ascuțiți … 🤔
😂 quite the coincidence
Hi, when are you going to visit Costa Rica 🇨🇷 ?
Also visit Sinaia, Peleș Castle. I like you, you are adorable, 👍
You are so sweet!!! And thank you for the message. We didn’t have time to visit Peles castle, but today we take the train to Cluj-Napoca! Cannot wait! 🤗
You need to see Brasov itself…. And next time all the other Transylvanian old town cities.
We will post an entire video on Braşov soon 🤗🥰
And Cluj napoca! 🤗
you know that this is the castle where Vlad Tepes reigned and which is associated with Dracula by people, but actually the castle referred in to Bram Stoker's book is in Bistrita County, Piatra Fantanele Village. There you will find the Cemetery that is mentioned in the book, the Pass called Pasul Tihuta, etc.
It’s not. Cetatea Poenari is where he reigned. He never lived in Bran, that is just false information for marketing purposes.
That’s so interesting!!!! We will have to visit that castle next 🥰
Hopefully it is close to Braşov. We are on the train from Bucharest to Braşov now!
-''Are there bears in Romania?'' haha, Romania has the largest bear population in Europe (except for Russia but most of Russia is in Asia anyway) so yeah. I live in Brasov and especially during summer time at night there is almost every night at least a bear walking around on the streets somewhere in the city
That is crazy!!! We would have never known if there weren’t a sign there 😂
Currently on the train from Bucharest to Braşov and we’ll explore the city of Braşov tomorrow! Maybe we will see you around! Haha. Let us know if you have may recommendations for the city.
Cheers new friend! Don’t get attacked by a bear! 😂
Curtea veche de la București este Palatul lui Vlad al III-lea Basarb !
That’s so fascinating!! 🤗
Nice to see that turists like Romania compared to romanians who always have to say something bad. :) We have a lot of bears, not just some far in the mountains.
Sometimes it’s tough to view our homes with a little objectivity! We get it! We hate on the United States when there, but after we return from a long trip abroad we are always thankful for the many luxuries the U.S. offers 🤗🥰
GREAT VIDEO.GLAD YOU GUYS ENJOY YOUR TRIP SO FAR///IN MY OPINION PELES CASTLE IN SINAIA JUST 80 MIN AWAY FROM BUCHAREST BY TRAIN IS WAY BETTER /// THE ROYAL FAMILY BUILT AND OWNED THE PALACE SINCE 1873 BEING THE FIRST ELECTRIFIED CASTEL IN EUROPE AT THAT TIME...HOPEFULLY YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO VISIT/TICKETS ARE CHEAP
Thank you soooo much!! We are on the train to Braşov from Bucharest right now. Is it possible to stop at Pele’s castle and then catch the next train up? Thank you! 🙏🥰
romania has the biggest numbers of bears in all of europe if you dont include russia
That is a bit scary!! 😅😅
We arrive to Braşov in about 40 minutes I hope we do not get attacked by a bear there
@@WyattandReyka haha have fun there really nice and beautiful city but just stay in the car and everything should be fine. And most of the times theres going to be Ro Alert it is what its name sugest it alerts you in case of anything, most ro alerts in brasov are about a loose bear but happens mostly at night and by mostly i mean once every 2-3 weeks or it can happen in months so dont worry about the bears :)
Okay good!!! 😂 we were a bit scared haha. Our Airbnb host also told us to be careful of bears so we are going to be very careful tomorrow exploring 👍🥰
Hello guy's you need to try the salt mine,, Salina Turda " check some pictures first
please go to castelul corvinilor...
Hi!! Where is that one?! We’d love to visit if it’s nearby 🥰
@@WyattandReyka Hi. Corvin Castle is located in Hunedoara region.
@@WyattandReyka you can google it.. see photos ..
Vlad the impaler og made in romania
Romania ist cool
Romania is very cool!! 🥰
The planes in the sky have gotten many times more than they used to be, once the war in Ukraine started and Nato started bringing heavy equipment in Romania.
That makes a lot of sense!! But so crazy! We’ve never seen that many planes in the sky at once. Wow!
Bran is a tourist trap and it's sad that it seems most tourists and definitely all the youtubers don't find out that right next to Bran, like 10km's away, there's places to go to that are so much better than going to Bran castle: the foothills between Bucegi and Piatra Craiului mountains! Hop in a taxi from Bran and go to Amfiteatrul Transilvania, Moieciu de Sus/Fundata villages and Magura/Pestera villages, with stunning views of the mountains and rolling hills, especially in autumn at the end of october and culturally interesting too as these are typical scattered mountain villages, especially if you walk between Pestera and Magura. So much better than wasting time at Bran
We will remember your suggestions!! Thank you!! It is definitely a tourist trap at Bran, but we still enjoyed haha! Cool history and pretty castle.
Raşnov was beautiful too!
We are on the train from Bucharest up to Braşov again right now so maybe we will make it out to the foothills between Bucegi and Piatea Craiului 🤗
@@WyattandReyka Oh that'd be cool, for me that's the best area to visit around Brasov and the autumn colors should still be there. I went there just last week, I go every autumn, it's so beautiful! You can take a taxi from Bran or you can go from Brasov to Zarnesti(there's trains every hour, it's a town a few km from Rasnov and over the hill from Bran, same area basically but I prefer it over all of them, you could even stay there, there's 2 accommodations I always use, 3 Brazi or Hora cu Brazi, where they also have some animals) and take a taxi from there. You could go to Amfiteatrul Transilvania and then hike down to Moieciu de Sus on the Ecotourist trail 8(Traseu ecoturistic 8, you should find it online), the longer section through Cheile Gradistei ,Poiana Andolia. Or you can take the trail that goes down to Cheia, it should show on google maps, it's an easy, 1h30min walk or so on a very clear trail with views of the mountains. Highly suggest the trail between Pestera village and Magura village, also very easy walk and the best to get a feel of these old mountain villages, with great views. You can reach there easily from Zarnesti with the taxi through Magura or start in Pestera, the road up to Pestera is close to Bran. Bran and the resorts around Sinaia(Predeal, Busteni) are overly touristy. Btw, there is bears in that area, there's bears EVERYWHERE in and around mountains in Romania, we have the most bears in Europe after Russia and Brasov area is FULL of bears, there's bears even in Brasov. In Sinaia(Predeal and Busteni too, especially Busteni) it's fairly likely to have bears come down looking for food on the street. In Zarnesti and Magura/Pestera villages, all these villages on the hills, I think during the day it's unlikely to meet a bear, especially on those trails going from one to the next along the exposed hills aka not in the woods, I've not met one and I go several times a year, it's not quite as bad but they are around. Just avoid being on the trail around sunset, talk when you're on the trail and definitely don't run or throw things at a bear if you see one, which you probably won't there but still.
do you finance these trips via you tube solely ?
You should have chosen Sinaia with Peleș Castle
Next time! 🤗
If you make a romanian food video, I suggest the following foods: 1. Papanași, no1 dessert in the world. 2. Rădăuțeană Soup. 3. Sarmale- cabbage rolls 4.Mici- a small form of meat , eaten with mustard. Enjoy this food. You wont regret it.
We tried Papanaşi and Sarmale yesterday!! Soo good 🥰
And we will definitely try that soup and mici in our Romanian food tour 🤤🤤
Cheers friend!! Thank you for the recommendations 🇷🇴🙏
@WyattandReyka hopefuly You will convert into a food video:)
Yes we will!! Going to do a BIG Romanian food tour. Don’t worry 😘
@WyattandReyka great. :)
The best is to ask the waiter what he likes.
should of had a traditional meal,in places like 'villa bran' or 'stana turistica'.
In Bucharest yesterday we ate at Hanu’lui Manuc and it was delicioussss! We particularly liked Sarmale, Mamaliga and Romanian donuts! Arriving to Braşov from Bucharest in about 15 minutes tho so maybe we will try some more Romanian food tonight 🤗🥰
@WyattandReyka cool
I am Vlad Țepeș and i am paying you a visit at night 🎃👻👺🧛
Runnn!!!!! 😬😱😱😱
go to Peles Castle in Sinaia, it is more impressive.
Can you see it from the train from Bucharest to Braşov? We are on the train now
I met you today at Șaormeria Baneasa
Hi!! 🤗 so nice to meet you today. Te iubesc 😂
you didn't meet any vampire there ?
Haha not that we know of 😅
10:05 Really? are you in Europe and eating American chocolate?🤮
It was good!! But we will try European next time. Any particular brands we should try? 🤗🙏🇷🇴
Loving Romania though!!

Haha true unfortunately
Romanian cities need at least 50 years of investment to look decent. Bucharest 100 years 🤮
Sibiu is smal.
Sinai’s even smaller and peles Castle is a disaster under renovation - don’t go there.
The only cities I would recommend visiting in Romania are Cluj and Oradea.
We are currently on the train back to Braşov from Bucharest, and then we will go to Cluj!! Cannot wait!! It looks so beautiful. Have not heard of Oradea but we will add that to the list! Cheers.
Also, we liked Bucharest! Old town was amazing and the Palace is sooo big! We will post another video about Bucharest soon 🥰
Good families will keep a nice place. Bad families will keep a bad place.
There are good places where you can visit Romania then there are bad places where you can go to raise troops for a band of haiduci.
