The first 'top stop' is the Cetatea Poienari – Poienari Castle or Poienari Citadel ruins with a fantastic 360˚ panoramic viewpoint.
The mountain drive begins to have sheer drops until reaching Lake Vidraru. The south/south east section is best for absorbing the breath-taking views.
The scenery never falters, following the curves of the road to Cascada Capra, another viewpoint with waterfall.
The route then takes you through a series of tight bends until you reach the beautiful Bâlea Lake. Stretch your legs by the water or enjoy some food & drink.
Driving a range of hairpin turns, mountain valleys, & mountain side roads, you next enjoy a adrenaline-inducing cruise. The Cascada Bâlea offers picturesque views before heading out to Brasov.
