Exploring Bran, Romania

In the heart of Transylvania, nestled in the foothills of the Bucegi mountains, is Bran, Romania. Less than an hour by bus from Brasov, this picturesque village is one of the most popular destinations in Romania. However, it's not the hillside houses or the gorgeous green valley that draw in the crowds. That can be found across this wonderful country. It's the spectacular Bran Castle that has visitors arriving by the busload. But before you plan a mere day trip to Bran, consider everything else this lovely town has to offer.

Bran Castle and Its Events

Bran Castle Tour. The castle juts ominously from a hilltop that overlooks the town, Bran Castle is one of the best castles in Romania. Its appearance is straight out of a fantasy novel. And while commonly referred to as Dracula's Castle, there is no connection to either Vlad the Impaler or Bram Stoker, Dracula's author. Held annually over the last seven years in August there is an event known as the Jazz Festival in the Castle. The three-day Jazz fest takes place in the Bran Castle courtyard. The open-air concert brings music lovers from all over the world, together in an almost mystical setting. If you're visiting in the autumn, consider checking out the castle for its annual Halloween. The party itself is in a covered tent on the grounds beneath the castle and resembles a fairly simple tent party.

The Benefits of Staying in a Log Cabin

Any stay in a log cabin is sure to leave you feeling both relaxed and refreshed at the same time. One of the reasons for this is the energy efficiency of log cabins. One of the best features of a log cabin is that when you heat the logs they radiate warmth back into the cabin room which increases energy efficiency. In warmer climates, this works in reverse, so when the sun is beating down on the exterior of the log cabin it doesn't transfer that heat to the interior and keeps you cooler in the warm summer months. While during the colder months the log cabin building keeps you cozy and warm due to the thermal mass of the logs. Thermal Mass is the ability of the logs in a cabin to absorb and store energy. In the case of a log wall, the stored energy is radiated back into the room when the interior temperature falls. The thicker the log wall, the greater your thermal mass and the more energy efficient your log cabin will be.
