I travelled to Brasov yesterday by Inter-City train, slow but very comfortable. It will be a couple of days before I report on the city itself because I have lots of things planned here.
The city is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains and I joined a group of five other people and a guide for a trip out of the city to hike through the 7 Ladders Canyon. The rock here is limestone so easily eroded by water and a small river has carved a narrow deep gorge through the rock. At some point in its history a series of metal ladders and walkways were positioned beside the various waterfalls so that you can hike through the canyon. The pictures below should give you an idea of what it is like even though photos don't do it justice - it was very special.
