Banffy Castle in Bonțida

You have probably heard of Banffy Castle so far, due to the fact that one of the largest music festivals in Romania, Electric Castle, takes place here. However, Banffy Castle in Bonțida attracts tourists at other times, especially during spring or summer, when the weather is favorable for walks.

The castle dates back to the 17th century, being built in the Austrian Renaissance and Baroque style and being inspired by the Castle of Versailles. It was never completed due to the outbreak of the Curut war which destroyed parts of the castle and turned it into a military base.

Bride's Veil Waterfall

A drive to the Apuseni Mountains is always welcome. Just 70 km from Cluj-Napoca is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Romania, the Bride's Veil, in the village of Răchiţele, which has a waterfall of 20 meters.

Of course, the area is perfect for a picnic, mountaineering or ATV rides.
