This is the land of the literary Count Dracula, anti-hero of Bram Stoker’s famous novel. Here are the places that inspired Bram Stoker’s imagination back in the late 19th century. So this is the authentic land of the Dracula novel, with all the mystery and romance, the quiet roads and deep forests, the horse-drawn vehicles, the peasant farmsteads, and the wolves howling at night.
It was some 20km south of our village that Bram Stoker set the castle of the vampire Count Dracula. The Borgo Pass is a real place, and the setting certainly appropriate for a remote and mysterious castle. The prototype for Dracula, Prince Vlad the Impaler, lived rather further south, although it seems that he did make it as far north as the Borgo Pass.
