Elected in 2015 as one of the most beautiful snow castle in the world, Rasnov Fortress is located on the top of the hill overlooking the town of Rasnov. The fortress is not only a pretty, well preserved and carefully restored monument but an amazing opportunity to step into the past for a short while and see how people used to live and defend themselves.
