Rasnov Fortress

30 minutes north of Bran Castle is Rasnov Fortress.


The fortress sits on a hilltop with a Hollywood-style sign that is visible from many areas in town.


Park in the large lot at the bottom of the hill and ride a tractor-pulled train to the top of the hill for 5 lei ($1.18) roundtrip, take the elevator on the backside for 12 lei ($2.83) or walk.


There's a nice view from the fortress.


Admission to the fortress is 12 lei ($2.83). There's not much there except a bunch of buildings. The grounds are dusty and uneven--wear appropriate shoes.


A watchtower in the fortress.


Some of the buildings are used as souvenir shops.


The buildings are empty so it doesn't take long to tour the fortress. Allow 30 minutes.


Halfway up the hill is a Dino Park--admission is separate.
