Râșnov straddles the mountain corridor between the Bucegi Mountains and Piatra Craiului in Brașov County, a position that made it an important stop on routes linking Transylvania with Wallachia. Above the town, Râșnov Citadel occupies a rocky hill; first recorded in 1335, this medieval refuge protected local inhabitants during raids. Its stout walls, towers and inner courtyard make the fortress Râșnov’s defining landmark. The town is also close to Bran and the wider Carpathian resort belt, with hiking and winter-sports country nearby.
