CamperPark Brașov

Brașov itself has plenty to explore, so take your time here – perhaps take a walking tour of the Old Town, visit the imposing (and huge) Black Church and see if you can squeeze through Strada Sforii, said to be Europe’s narrowest street. There are lots of great places to eat as well, and if you have time you can explore the city’s outer areas, looking out for things like Romania’s first school in the Schei district. The city is surrounded by the Carpathian mountains, and there are several ways to explore some of this rugged scenery, including winter skiing and summer hikes. Mount Tâmpa, on the edge of the city centre, is an easy place to start – a trail runs up through the forest or you can ride up in style on the cable car. Further out into the surrounding area, you can see rescued bears getting back to the wild at Libearty Bear Sanctuary (35 minutes’ drive) or come face to face with creatures of the past at Dino Parc Râșnov (25 minutes). Bran Castle (half an hour), the inspiration for Dracula, is a must-see – and if you need to cool off, try the slides at Aquatic Paradise (10 minutes’ walk).
