Re: [Cz-L] Vama Romania - Update

Dracula:
Now we go astray:
  Bran castle is near Brasov and was Vlad Tepes' -the Impaler - castle.
   Vlad was a mean fellow but not Dracula.
   Dracula was made up by the Irish writer Bram Stoker and he placed
  his fictional castle in the Borgo pass in the North Carpathians.
    The Borgo pass(Hungarian) also called Baragau (Romanian)or Birgau
(German)
  is on the road E 58 from Suceava to Bistrita .
  Today they call it Tihuta Pass.
  In 1998 they opened a new hotel there: The Count Dracula Hilton.
