The AKASHA Wellness Retreat is located in one of the most majestic mountains and untouched nature reserves in Romania. Just around the corner is Bran Castle, the Dracula Castle made famous by writer Bram Stoker, and the mystical Bucegi Mountains with its natural rock formation Sphinx.

Some call the place “the village in the clouds”, and indeed it is. At an altitude of over 1,000 metres, the landscape here is a sea of green, rolling hills with views of the Piatra Craiului mountain massif (2,200 metres).

The History Museum of the City and County of Brasov was founded in 1950 and is located in the former Municipal House in the centre of Piata (Square) Sfatului or, to some extent, in the Tesatorilor Bastion in Brasov (Kronstadt).

The bastion, defended and maintained by the Linen Weavers’ Guild, was built in two stages between 1421 – 1436 and 1570 – 1573. In the first phase, the first two levels of the three battle galleries were built. The upper galleries, built between 1570 and 1573, were for small arms, which could be used through narrow circular firing holes all along the way of the galleries. Two watchtowers were built for the guard, who watched over the city both from a military point of view and from the point of view of observing possible fires.

After restoration, the Weavers’ Bastion was turned into a museum.

The airport in Brasov is open and the airline DAN AIR offers many flights to / from and of course back to many airports in Germany and all over Europe.
