Introduction

Hello! We are 4 students from Brasov, and we decided to make this blog for everyone who is planning to come to Brasov. On this blog we provide you information about the representative sights of Brasov along with some tips to get around the city. Besides us providing you information, you can also write us an email if you want us to come along with you trough the city and give you a more in depth tour of the city.  You might be wondering how we got this idea, and if we are qualified to provide you information about our city. This blog started of as a school project and we decided to keep it so we can help other people. Also, we are all volunteer tour guides at the Black Church. This means that we went to a several month course where we were taught a lot about the city, and especially about the Black Church, so we would say that we can provide you lot of information about the city, maybe more in depth than you can find anywhere else.

Its elevation is 960 m (995 m according to some sources), almost 400 m above the city.   The mountain is mostly made up of  limestone  formations, having risen up gradually from the Earth's  crus t .   Most of the mountain (1.5 km²) is a declared  nature reserve , due to the rare animal species ( bears ,  birds ,  butterflies —35% of  Romanian  butterfly species) and plant species (a rare  Liverleaf  variety,  Transylvanian   Windgrass ) that are found there. A number of routes to the summit exist: there are 25 winding paths cut in 1837 by  Brașov's  forest administration;  Gabony's  stairs; the Knights' road, dating to the days of the  Brașovia  citadel; and an auto road. A  cable car  makes the journey between the cabin/rest
