Because we travel mid October we were really fortunate that it was still open. The first part was magnificent with the sun shining through the colourful Autumn leaves. The road covered the southern section of the Carpathian mountains for 90 kilometers with steep hairpin bends, long S-curves and steep descents, climbs to 2,042 metres with snow in the upper sections. We stopped at Balea Lake and beautiful waterfall which was very peaceful as few people were travelling. some of the tunnels could be better lit however it really is a breath taking drive.

The Princely Church of Saint Nicholas is one of the main tourist attractions in Curtea de Arges, being the first monument of large religious architecture in Wallachia. The Royal Court of Arges was originally built in the 13th century by the Roman voivode Seneslau. The Church of Saint Nicholas in Curtea de Arges is one of the most representative monuments of medieval Romanian architecture, as well as the oldest voivodship foundation in Wallachia. The interior murals, especially valuable, are made between 1364-1369, due to them, as well as its architectural and historical value, the church being included on the list of historical monuments and in the UNESCO Indicative List.

A short climb to the top of the rock, followed by a great view of the village and surrounding area and over the hills. We stayed for around an hour at the monastery; enjoyed the view and saw the church built into the rock. The paintings are hard to make out now, but you can imagine how nice it must have looked. The structure is very impressive. We were also able to see the blue traditional house next door and bought some home-knitted socks. The old paintings are in need of restauration due to the humidity and is truly spectacular place to visit as you have a bit of everything in one location. More tourists in general should know about this beautiful location and it's historical significance in Romani.

The citadel is reached by a climb of 1480 stairs (time to climb the stairs: 30 min). The view from the citadel it’s amazing. I suggest to make the effort! Excellent for a small hike. It took me about 15 min to climb - rather running than walking).
