• Around Avrig.

    After our fabulous drive we had some time to fill in before we could go to our next hotel. That wasn't hard to do.

    First we went to an adventure park for children, but aren't we all kids at heart? The name translates to The Story of the Calendar. (Povestea Calendarului. The website says: "The story of the Calendar is an invitation to a world where magic and nature intertwine in a corner of heaven protected by the Făgăraș Mountains. A theme park located in Sibiu County, where every moment becomes an adventure, rediscovering the pure joy of life.")

    Then we went to what we had heard called the Clay Castle. (Castelul de Lut Valea Zânelor translates as "Fairy Valley Clay Castle". From the website: On the banks of the Porumbacu river, at the foot of the great Făgăraș mountains, there is an enchanting place, torn from Romanian folk tales and carefully guarded by magical entities. ... Legend has it that the land on which the castle stands was inhabited by magical creatures - fairies - they still protect the place that was once their home.")

    Finally we went to our very lovely hotel. The Palatul Brukenthal in the village of Avrig. It's our home for 2 nights.
