Great scenery

Impressive, but also quite crowded. Inside the base is a small photo exhibition about the history of the cross.

You won't find any shade here, so be sure to bring sunscreen in the summer. However, it can also get quite cool in the summer (it did for us), so you'll be glad you have a windproof jacket.

Pope John Paul II, during the Stations of the Cross in the year 2000 at the Colosseum in Rome, expressed the following thoughts, which may also be of interest to passersby here before this colossal summit cross: “Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things in order to enter into his glory?” (Luke 24:26). At the end of the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum, we ask ourselves the same question. (…) Dear sisters and brothers! People today need to encounter the crucified and risen Jesus! Who, if not the divinely condemned one, can fully understand the suffering of those who are unjustly condemned? Who, if not the mocked and humiliated King, can answer the expectations of the many men and women who are without hope and degraded? Who, if not the crucified Son of God, can understand the pain and abandonment of the many people who despair of life because they have no future ahead of them?” (Pope John Paul II)

For 2 lei you can climb up, look into the rooms of the tower and have a beautiful view from the top (but only from behind the window panes)

Bran Castle's current appearance, with its dramatic location and ominous atmosphere, has been created through numerous additions and modifications to the medieval fortifications. It provides the perfect backdrop for tourists who want to imagine Dracula's castle here.
