You step out of an air-conditioned minivan and the Carpathians push a cool shoulder of wind across the road as Bran Castle perches above you, its stone gables and narrow windows daring your imagination. The castle’s angles cast long shadows; cobbled lanes of Bran village murmur of merchants and border guards who once moved through this threshold between regions.
