Budapest to Drac's Castle in Romania ?

What the best route ?

I believe that there is only one main road that goes from Budapest to Sinaia, the town nearest to Bran Castle. Are you driving or taking a tour?

Cruisetrekker - Our Romanian local guide last October was well versed on this very real person. Originally done as a punishment for serious crimes, Vlad eventually used it for petty civil offenses as well as captured enemy soldiers. The technique requires careful insertion of the stake such that it emerges from the skin at the back of the neck without puncturing any major organs or blood vessels. The slow but eventually complete loss of blood made it look like a vampire had done it.
