The Queen's Chapel is a replica of the Stella Maris Chapel in Balchik, built in 1940 in Bran by Princess Ileana of Romania to house the vessel containing the heart of her mother, Queen Maria of Romania. Balchik had recently been ceded by Romania to Bulgaria. Marie Alexandra Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was a Princess of Great Britain and Ireland and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. Born in 1875, she spent her youth in England. In 1893, she married Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Romania, who became King in 1914.

Refugiul Șaua Strunga – Mountain Shelter with a View Perched at over 1900 m in the Bucegi Mountains, Refugiul Șaua Strunga is a small, basic mountain shelter offering protection from the elements and unforgettable alpine scenery. It’s a key waypoint on several hiking and MTB routes, linking Bran and Moieciu to the Bucegi plateau. ⛺ Tip: The shelter is not staffed and has no facilities – bring your own sleeping bag and water. It's best used for emergencies or short rest stops. Nights here can be chilly even in summer, so pack accordingly. 🥾 Great for hikers & bikers looking for solitude and high-mountain vibes. 📍 Also a perfect sunrise or sunset spot – if the weather plays along.

Queen Maria Alexandra Victoria of Romania was born on October 29, 1875 in Eastwell Park, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Tsar Alexander II of Russia. In 1893, Princess Maria married the heir to the Crown of Romania, Prince Ferdinand, and moved with him to the country. The personal charm and the desire to represent her country with pride made the Queen very popular with the people. In her will, the Queen asked for her body to be buried in Curtea de Arges, and her heart to be deposited in the "Stella Maris" chapel in Balchik. However, the Queen's wish was fulfilled only two years later, after the Quadrilateral was ceded to Bulgaria. As a result, the Queen's heart was brought to Bran. In this context, Princess Ileana ordered the construction of the "Queen Mary's Heart" chapel, the construction of which took a year. By the end of the chapel, which was to be similar to the one in Balchik, the Queen's heart was deposited in a rock near Bran Castle. After the establishment of the communist regime, the beautiful chapel in stone was devastated and left in ruins. In 1995, the chapel underwent restoration works, the purpose of which was to bring the heart of Queen Mary back to Bran. Currently, the chapel can be admired, but the interior cannot be visited.

Too crowded in weekend. If you plan to visit the castle it's best to buy the tickets online.

Nice place for stop rest. Unmaned just ahut.

This whole stretch is by track. It goes well, but the path has many stones and is a bit unstable.

From this, you can link to several mountain bike routes. Some are marked (once the gorge has been passed).

The gorge is spectacular and highly recommended for entering the Piatra Craiuli National Park. The ascent is by track. And although there is a cumulative difference in level and in some areas there is quite a bit to lose, it goes up well.
