In Balvanyos area , on a mountain spur you can see ruins of an ancient walls buildt by teutons 1000 ago when they guard this area !the ascensions is hard is an rocky path who climb very hard but if are trained u can do that !u dont need rock climb skills , is just hard climb !
route can take you aproximally 45 minutes !
There, on the walls, u can enoy beautifull wiew who`s breathtaking !
Unfortunally, archeological site is not well preserved, be carrefoul becouse u can find dangerouse venomous snakes there !
visit is free of charge !

It is a short hike (for either winter or summer) to the old citadelle on top of the mountain. The landscape is beautiful and you get nice views of the valley

At this moment there are only the ruins of the fortress, placed in top of a hill and looking over the pass through the mountains. It is still a very impressive looking fortress and maybe in the future the local authorities will bring it in the touristic circuit. It is a good place to visit.
