About 12km west of Poiana Brasov on the road to Bran, half an hour from Brasov by bus or train, is RASNOV (Rosenau to the Saxons), where a ruined castle crowns the fir-covered hill that overlooks the town.
This was founded in the early thirteenth century by the Teutonic Knights (Deutscheritterorden), who were soon expelled from Transylvania, but what you see now are the remains of a fourteenth-century structure.
On the far side of the castle is the Cabana Rasnov (tel 068/230 266; $6-10), a decent restaurant with rooms, and a relatively good campsite ; to get there, take Strada Cetatii (the Poiana Brasov road) from the south end of Piata Unirii.
