As a travel agency, we invite you to offer your clients or corporate partners an unforgettable journey into the legend of Dracula’s Throne in Petroșani. Your groups will stay at Dracula’s Dreams Castle in Aninoasa, the castle that inspired Jules Verne’s 1892 novel The Carpathians Castle. This unique corporate or leisure travel experience blends history, myth and the breathtaking landscapes of Transylvania—perfect for incentive trips, team-building or exclusive group tours.

At the origin of this journey stands the fortress that inspired Jules Verne’s The Castle from the Carpathians — a symbol of mystery, fear, and imagination. The story speaks of Iscroni, Aninoasa, Hunedoara, a Transylvanian village overshadowed by a castle that guards its secrets in silence. This is the threshold where myth begins — the moment before the first step into legend.

In the remote heights of the Carpathian Mountains lies the legendary stronghold that inspired Verne’s gothic tale — the castle stands as both a beacon and a warning, the threshold between the natural world and the uncanny. As the travellers light their torches and ascend the mountain pass, they step into a story written in stone and mist.

“The village of Werst, in the district of Klausenburg, stands near the base of the Carpathians, not far from the old castle of the Chateleine of Iscroni.” “From Iscroni to the castle, the path climbed steeply through beech and fir trees, winding among enormous rocks.” “The inhabitants of Iscroni rarely spoke of the castle, which they regarded with dread and superstition.” “The sun was declining towards the horizon… and, beyond, in the valley, between the fir-trees, I can see the clock-tower of Petroseny, with its weathercock, whose beak is open, as if he were calling to his little hens!”

Jules Verne, The Castle of the Carpathians,
Chapter III (spoken by the shepherd, Frik).

A theatrical historical experience through the Dacian mountains and the legends of Transylvania. Imagine a group of travelers setting off from the shadowed valleys of the Carpathians, crossing narrow passes and dark forests—toward the heart of Transylvania, where myth meets history. This is The Journey to Dracula’s Throne: an immersive thematic tour inspired by the heritage presented on King Travel Romania, blending the age of the Dacians, the reign of Burebista, the chivalric Order of the Dragon, and the gothic legend of Vlad Țepeș.

1. The Gateway to the
Kingdom of Burebista

Our journey begins in the mystical landscapes of the Bănița Gorges, described as the “Gateway to the Kingdom of Burebista.” Here, the travelers step into the ancient world of the Dacians—where the goddess Bendis was said to have revealed visions to King Burebista, uniting the tribes into a single, powerful realm.

The air hums with drumming echoes and the soft whisper of ancient rituals.

2. The Geto-Dacian’s Legacy

Ascending deeper into the Carpathians, visitors witness live historical reenactments of Geto-Dacian’s life—complete with traditional armor, shields and mock battles. This scene, drawn from The History of the Geto-Dacians, reveals their fierce resistance and sacred devotion to their mountains and gods. Guests join a symbolic “defense of the mountain pass,” wielding wooden spears or shields, immersed in chants and war cries echoing through the forest.

3. The Order of the Dragon

As the group crosses into Transylvania, medieval banners rise through the mist—the Ordinul Dragonului, founded in 1408 to defend Christendom. Vlad II Dracul, father of Vlad Țepeș, was a member of this order; his name (“Dracul,” meaning the Dragon or the Devil) later gave rise to the title Dracula.

4. The Battle with the Vampires
at the Gate of Transylvania 🏰  ⚔️

At the “Gate of Transylvania,” the experience turns theatrical. As night falls, the forest grows silent. Suddenly, eerie sounds rise—fluttering wings, distant growls—and the reenactment begins. The Knights of the Dragon face a horde of “vampires” emerging from the mist, in a choreographed battle of light and shadow. Smoke, torches and moonlit choreography set the scene. The crowd joins in chants “For the Dragon! For Dacia!” as good triumphs over darkness.

5. The Throne of Dracula

Finally, the travelers arrive at the legendary Castle of Dracula’s Dreams in Aninoasa fortress – the Castle from Jules Vernes story. Here, the myth meets its man: Vlad Țepeș, both hero and horror, known for justice and cruelty alike. Under torchlight, the story unfolds of how the “Son of the Dragon” became the eternal ruler of the night. Each participant is crowned as a “Knight of Dracula’s Throne,” receiving a red-and-black ribbon and a parchment certificate bearing the dragon seal.

6. Epilogue – Between
Legend and Light 

The tour ends at sunrise, overlooking the misty hills of Transylvania. From the sacred Geto-Dacian’s gateways to the gothic halls of Vlad’s legend, travelers realize they have not only crossed mountains but stepped through centuries—through faith, fear and the eternal allure of myth.
