In the Brasov county, Romania, there is a place of legend and mystery. It is called the Rasnov town, and its main attraction is the medieval fortress, situated on one of the town’s hills and overlooking the entire area.

The Rasnov settlement has a history of over 2.000 years, dating back to the times of the “Daci,” a population preceding Romanians today. The settlement wore several names throughout history and was first documented in 1331. It was an essential part of the Romanian history due to its unique settlement, situated on the commercial road between Transylvania and Wallachia.

Nowadays, tourists visit Rasnov for its fortress, which has also been the star in international movies, but also for the peacefulness of its surroundings. The city has a familiar countryside feel, where locals are very friendly, making you feel like home. Winter here is described as serene and relaxing, offering everyone that grandma’s house childhood feel.
