Points of interest

• Bram Stoker’s character, Dracula, is a Transylvanian Count with a castle located high above a valley perched on a rock in Transylvania. This character is often confused with Vlad Tepes, or Vlad Dracul, who was a Walachian Prince with a castle, now in ruins. Because Bran Castle is the only castle that actually fits Bram Stoker’s description it is known throughout the world as Dracula’s Castle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7eJn1id4WA
