Râmeț Monastery
A hidden Orthodox monastery deep in a Trascău gorge, reached by a narrow river-hugging road — one of the oldest in Transylvania.
Not a day trip from Brașov
Râmeț Monastery is roughly 3h 20m from Brașov one way — about 6h 45m in the car before you have seen anything. That makes a long journey rather than a good day, so we keep it out of the planner instead of selling you the drive.
Within a comfortable day we would point you at Sighișoara Historic Citadel, Bran Castle or Peles Castle.
