Poienari Fortress
It is placed on the highest cliff around Arges at 850 meters high, surrounded by a spectacular landscape and in order to get here you’ll have to climb the 1480 steps. The first documents mentioning the Poienari Fortress are from the 14th Century, when here was only a surveillance tower. In 1457 Dracula used the unfaithful landowners to rebuild it.On Easter Day he trapped them at the religious service in the church and forced them to walk to Poienari. Once there, he raised his sword toward the old fortress ruins and ordered them to repair and consolidate it in 1 week.It’s hard to believe that this can be the truth, but the legend says that the people preferred hard work instead of being impaled. Lots of them lost their lives there as they had to climb the steep hill, but they finished the construction in 1 week, as ordered.All those alive were forgiven by Vlad Tepes because he decided they’d learned their lesson. There are more legends about this place and Dracula but you’ll hear them all on this tour.
