Tourists can’t visit Dracula’s castle… for bears

If you are fascinated by the Gothic novel by Bram Stoker and you can’t wait to visit the place historically linked to a real prototype Dracula – Vlad Tepes, I dare to disappoint you. The fact that the Romanian authorities were forced to close the entrance to the ruins for tours. But the reason is not in living in the local mountain forests of the bloodsuckers, and the increased frequency of the meeting of the visitors of the castle with brown bear, which is that anyone not attacked, but to frighten impressionable travelers have time. The bear has several cubs, which makes it even more dangerous, because with the natural maternal instincts trifled with. However, authorities have already given permission to transport the animals, it remains only to find them a new location.

The fortress of Poenari was constructed in the 13th century, and significantly fortified by Vlad Tepes in the 15th. the Famous Prince made it one of their main residences, which place in the tourism sector called “the real Dracula’s castle” as opposed to bran castle, which Tepes only occasionally slept during the campaigns.
