So we spent the night at the lay-by under the Poienari Fortress, Vlad's place |
And bright and early the next morning, Friday, I climbed the 1480 steps (concrete, with hand-rails all the way) up to the castle ruins |
At least the trail is well-signed |
"The Road goes ever up and up" |
With all kinds of interesting information along the way |
At last, you're at the top; met by Igor, the castle-keeper, who charges 5 lei (5 more for pix) |
View back to the valley and our camper, where Vicki sleeps |
Plan of the castle |
View to the north and the beginning of the Transfagarasan Road, where we'll head next.... |
