Dacian Fortresses by Jakob Frenzel

August 2024 - After spending the night in Hunedoara, we took smaller roads with the goal to visit the Fortress of Sarmizegetusa Regia. It was hot that day and the roads really bad. Thus we decided to stop at Costesti. On the map it looked like a small hike, but my family decided to stay at the parking lot.

Damn, the hike was more strenous than anticipated and hard on my lungs. I did not meet anybody on the hike, and I was expecting to meet bears. Eventually I arrived at the fortress and climbed around the stones for a bit. 
Very mystical place, especially when being alone.
During the descent I met the first visitors, who had the same idea.

After 1.5 h I was back at the parking lot, lucky about the tick-off. As Sarmizegetusa is reconstructed, for me the visit of this authentic component ist considered good enough.
