Orăștioara de Sus

Travel Guide

The capital and the most important military, religious and political centre of the Dacians prior to the wars with the Roman Empire... Erected on top of a 1200 m high mountain, the fortress, comprising six citadels, was the core of a strategic defensive system in the Orăştie Mountains (in present-day Romania)... Sarmizegetusa Regia should not be confused with Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, the Roman capital of Dacia built by Roman Emperor Trajan some 40 km away, which was not the Dacian capital. Sarmizegetusa Ulpia was discovered earlier, was known already in the early 1900s, and was initially mistaken for the Dacian capital, a confusion which led to incorrect conclusions being made regarding the military history and organization of the Dacians...

Sarmizegetusa Regia
Off-piste snowboarding on November 30th. The scenery is splendid - some of the most beautiful views I've come across in Romania. The good news is that the snow lifts have started working, as of today. Enjoy the great white! #WinterWonders P.S. The video of our early-winter mini-trip-- https://youtu.be/WSfzuO9Vayc
