This castle has a fascinating history, spanning back around 600 years. It’s comparatively inexpensive to visit, and there’s information about the different aspects of the castle, and tales from its past, available in multiple languages, including English, readily available at different points around it. It’s easy to walk through and explore on your own, and a great place to visit with children.

As a family, we have visited the lake a few times over the past few years. Our most recent was last week. The weather was lovely. There are planty of areas to stop and have a picnic or even a walk. I would advise anyone who visits this area to visit the lake.

This 13th century fort/castle is certainly one not to miss if you are passing through or stopping off in Deva. Our visit was at the end of August on a very hot day. We were fortunate to be early arrivals at the cable car station as it sits in open ground and offers no shelter from the hot sun and maybe worse still really basic and minimalist toilet facilities. One can access this stunning piece of history on foot but in reality it is best to enjoy the very cheap cable car (pensioners travel at £1 each return) which takes you to the top via an almost vertical cliff face. Both en route and at the top the view over the town is superb, the red clay roofs below make for a fine picture. Once at the top there is little to do, see or read as the renovation works are still and I feel will for a long time, continue to be on going. If you were to visit with children in tow then the castle could be combined with the excellent water park that is located mere metres from the cable car entry point, it would make for a fine family day out.

I highly recommend this Monastery!
We are lucky enough to pass your threshold!
Cotra: the acces road is in work at the moment and this make the pass to be difficult.
As an advice, whenever you want to go there, try this rich morning destination because there are lots of people that will come and it will become a hazard.
5. Arboretumul Simeria

Reviewed By colourfulcloud - London
The most interesting thing here is the tree trunks at the entrance. You can count the number of rings of various species of trees. That's about it. Watch out for mosquitoes. I think 5 lei to get in. A quick 30 min walk will suffice. If you're an arborist, then I guess you'll love it. Some green away from the depressing post communist landscape.

Near Tara Hategului, located in the Mountains it is a very beautiful Citadel. On your way to the Citadel, going from Hateg there are few dam lakes you can see. The road taking you there is like a fairytale. You can feel the fresh mountain air and enjoy the liberty

"Torture Exhibition" - the most common methods of torture and execution during the Middle Ages.
Reviewed By Oana V - Timisoara, Romania
It is a perfect balance of enviroment, soud and visual information. This exhibition will lead you through a few life size torture rooms and prison cells. The atention to detail is amaizing ...and he best thing is...you can come back, again, and again, and again, and always find some new items :)
Bring your camera as you can take pictures as many as you can free of charge.
So: great place, great guides, great experience!

Reviewed By BiaBestia - Deva, Romania
It's a good place to spend 2-3 hours if you are feeling like taking a bath. The water is warm, it's clean, there is even a slide which isn't boring. It's a bit expensive.
10. Conacul Berthelot

Reviewed By Johannes H - Cugir, Romania
Rare that a small village is named after a general, and even a foreign one. Seen from today, it is a curiosity to be discovered by WWI history buffs. For the Romanian state, it was just gratitude for its survival. The mansion itself was taken from an Austrian who happened to be on the wrong end of history. A place to contemplate about history - and a meeting place for academics.
