The medieval citadel
A citadel was built in 13th century by the Teutonic Knights, helped the locals, following the great Tatar invasion of 1241 It was so strong that it resisted the Tatar invasion and was conquered only once in its history. A famous 143 meters deep well sits in the centre of Rasnov Fortress. In the middle age, Rasnov was the second most important city of the Saxon region of Burzenland, after Brasov.

The old Evangelic church
...the one with old clock. Right in the city center. Freshly renovated. It has been built in the 13th century and the murals date from around 1500.

Cheile Rasnoavei
...this green canyon is appreciated for its beauty not only by locals and tourists but also by movie producers who have filmed here. In the canyon there is a fast mountain river with many small waterfalls. Here you can walk, drive an ATV, climb, picnic, camp (but beware of bears), or just enjoy this natural and well preserved area.
