  • We found the greatest driving road in the world! The Transfagarasen Highway here in Transylvania is absolutely insane! Before leaving the city of Brasov, we hike to the top of Mount Tampa to see the city sign perched above the city on the mountain's peak. Brasov is most definitely a hidden gem here in Romania. We make our way to the town of Bran where an ominous castle sits on top of a cliffside overlooking the city. Yes, this is known to be the home to Dracula! We also take the most epic drive of our lives up the Transfăgărășan Highway, literally one of the best roads in the entire world!

      yeah but keep in mind that the ''history'' of Vlad the Impaler said by him is wrong. He was born in Sighisoara, Transylvania but he was the prince of Wallachia (today's southern Romania) and he was cruel to corrupt boyars and nobles and to the Ottoman threat.

    The drone view of that road was insane. It looked like a maze with tight curves. I did think it would be a great motorcycle ride too.
    Count Dracula 🧛‍♂️ was interesting but after the last castle his looked like an average castle lol.
    Have fun and stay safe.

    I agree with Michelle, the Peles Castle was much nicer and not as crowded. I grew up in Lafayette Colorado, one of the cool things is in our cemetery there’s a grave known as the Vampire Grave. It is the grave of Theodore “Fedora” Glava who was born in Transylvania Romania.

    Impossible to pick a favorite part.....the entire day was amazing! I loved seeing the castle, and was surprised Count Dracula may never have been there. The scenery is so pretty, and I love the city streets and little alley ways to get to another street. Had a chuckle cause this is one of a very few times you never filmed eating something!!

    Seeing you go to Dracula's Castle, amazed me. I have watched so many programs about it, that every time I see it interests me even more. I envy you guys for being there. The story of Vlad the Impailor (Dracula) is a sad story. He loses his loved one and goes insane. So in order to get revenge, he impails people in the city. It's supposed to be a romantic story but ends up being a horror story. Love what you guys are doing. The more places you go, the more interesting I get to see where you go next. Love it

    • @omi685
      @omi685 Рік тому

      He actually mostly impaled those that invaded his lands and plundered his people such as the Ottomans. His loved ones were indeed killed, but he wasn't crazy or that bad, he is considered one of Romania's greatest fighters for independence. I am a Romanian 🙂

    Vlad II Dracul, the father of Vlad III Dracula (Țepeș / Impaler ) was the founder of the Drăculeşti dynasty, which lasted until the 17th century.
    The surname "Țepeș / Impaler" is actually a nickname (given by the Turks) given to Vlad III Dracula as a result of the method of stabbing used by him.
    This nickname, is associated with Vlad after his death, has remained in use to this day.
    The real name is Vlad Dracula.

    Romania does not consider Mormonism to be a Christian religion, so Romanians are not open about this religion. For this reason, there are no Mormon Temples in Romania.
