Prima etapă de transformare a Aleii de Sub Tâmpa într-un loc de promenadă și de petrecere a timpului liber a fost finalizată. Transformarea zonei din acces către muntele Tâmpa într-una din cele mai frumoase zone de petrecere a timpului liber din Brașov a început cu interzicerea traficului auto și desființarea parcării, care reprezenta principalul impediment în transformarea aleii într-o zonă de promenadă.
Au fost amenajate două zone cu aparate pentru fitness și pentru work-out, au fost create mai multe zone de odihnă și interacțiune socială. În partea dinspre Suișul Castelului au fost amenajate mai multe jocuri pe asfalt, de la șotron la ceasul solar, iar Dealul Melcilor și Tâmpa au fost reprezentate pe asfalt prin curbe de nivel. Zona de dirt-bike, amenajată anul trecut de Asociația NH Bike, a fost extinsă cu o nouă zonă dedicată copiilor.

The Evangelical Church of St. Matthias is a national class A monument (National Historical Monuments List: BV-II-a-A-11763).
In 1394 the documents mention Stefan, as plebian of the church "St. Mathias" in Rasnov and Dean of Brasov. The only church of the Christian community of Râşnov Saxons, preserved to date, dates from the beginning of the 14th century.
The Catholic Church worshiped Virgin Mary and, after the Reformation, became the evangelical Saxon prayer site.
With the religious Reformation, the Saxons covered the frescoes of the church. But on the north side of the church choir an old painting was discovered, dated to 1500.
In 1682, a new altar was installed in the evangelical church. In 1781 the 113-year old pipe organ was replaced with one made by the silesian Johann Frill.
After the fires of 1587, 1623 and 1718, the place of worship was greatly damaged. The current appearance of the evangelical church dates from 1774-1775, when a new roof and walls of the church were built.Because in the fire of 1718 the three bells melted, in 1720 a new bell was cast. After 200 years, at the end of the First World War, two large bells, sanctified in 1927, were purchased from Apold.
The earthquake of October 26th, 1802, caused great destruction of the Evangelical Church and its tower. The tower that was rebuilt until 1804 was 13 meters high and had a gilded globe and a star on top of it.

The church „The Entry of the Most Holy Mother of God into the Church” was built in 1779, ten years after the village was founded. The church was founded by the great Romanian merchant from Brașov, Ioniță Boghici.
The merchant from Brașov has also made other donations to the church, of which there were preserved four icons painted on 20th of February 1779 by Constantin Popovici and a brass candlestick with two arms, dated 1723.
Among the valuable objects brought from Tohanul Vechi by the priests Mihai and Oprea, there was a precious gospel printed in Bucharest in 1682 at the command and the expense of Ion Șerban, the nephew of the ruler Șerban Basarab.

”The Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary” Church was built in 1791, and was organized and developed around the Orthodox cemetery in Zărnești, being founded by archpriest Bratu Baiul.
Due to the increasing of the population of the village, the enlightened priest wanted to organize an Orthodox cemetery and build the church. At that time the cemetery and the church were located on the outskirts of the village.
An ideal location is found on a hill above the river bed Bârsa. Through the efforts of past and present priests, the Orthodox cemetery and stylish renovated church, dedicated to the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, gives us a sample of respect for the ancestors of Zărnești.

The Black Church is the parish church of the evangelical congregation of Augustan Confession in Brașov. Its nickname derives from the damage sustained in the Great Fire in 1689, which destroyed large parts of the city and blackened the church`s walls. Initially used only popularly, the name became official on the 20th century.
The Black Church houses many remarkable works of art: the baptismal font (1472), a wall painting depicting the Holy Virgin (ca. 1476), Ottoman rugs (17th-18th c.) donated by the members of the congregation to their church, pews (18th-19th c.) attesting to the vast activity of the guilds, the monumental neogothic altar and 5 pipe organs. Two documentary exhibitions, on display in the western part of the church, offer a short history of the Black Church and informations about the life of Johannes Honterus, a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation in Transylvania.

The place of worship was built in 1788, thanks to the Romanian merchant in Brasov, John Ioanovici, together with his wife Ana. The church plan was designed by the architect Ioan Morca and the works were carried out under the supervision of the priest Dumitru Martinovici.
Built in the Gothic-Byzantine style, the church has a ship-shaped single-apse structure in the semi-pentagon to the east (the altar). The windows are also made in Byzantine style, framed with Gothic ogives that fit perfectly into the Byzantine vault of the church. The 40-50 meter high tower perfectly complements the church.

The oldest Orthodox church in Southeastern Transylvania is to be found in Rasnov: the Romanian Orthodox church dedicated to "Saint Nicholas".
The monument was raised in several stages. As a result of the archaeological researches, it was concluded that the place was built in the 18th century. This architectural phase are to be noticed in the altar and small ship.
In 1384 the restoration of the place was supported by the ruler of Wallachia, Radu I. The church was elongated and enlarged. From now on, it seems that the Gothic impression originates from the architecture of the Rasnov church.
In 1773 the church was enlarged by the contribution of the Brasov merchants Ionita and Radu Boghici. The present form dates from the third decade of the 19th century. The Byzantine interior painting seems to have been made in the 17th century.
Over the centuries, the church has received numerous donations from the rulers and boyars of Wallachia.
The Old Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas is a national monument A (National Historic Monuments List BV-II-m-A-11762).

Biserica Sfântul Bartolomeu este cea mai veche biserică și totodată cea mai veche clădire din Brașov, fiind construită în secolul al XIII-lea și suferind modificări substanțiale în secolul al XV-lea.
Biserica, de confesiune evanghelică-luterană, este situată în cartierul Brașovechi și face parte dintr-un ansamblu de monumente istorice sub numele de Ansamblul bisericii evanghelice „Sf. Bartolomeu”.
Ansamblul este compus din trei monumente:
• Biserica evanghelică „Sf. Bartolomeu”
• Zidul de incintă cu poarta
• Casa parohială
Se presupune că biserica Sf. Bartolomeu a fost construită la începutul secolului al XIII-lea, după ce Cavalerii Teutoni s-au stabilit în Țara Bârsei. Întemeietorul bisericii a fost Hermann von Salza, conducătorul Ordinului Cavalerilor Teutoni din acea vreme, iar la momentul construcției biserica Sf. Bartolomeu era una dintre cele mai mari biserici construite în Transilvania. Prima atestare documentară a bisericii datează din anul 1223.
Biserica Sfântul Bartolomeu a fost cunoscută în epocă și sub denumirea de „Biserica celor trei orfane”. Conform unei legende, trei orfane credincioase și-au donat toată averea bisericii, iar ca semn de recunoștință acestea au fost înmormântate sub altarul lăcașului.

St. Nicholas Church, documented in 1292 and mentioned in the Papal Bula from 1399, was built of stone from 1495 onwards with the contribution of the voivodes from ever the mountains (Vlad Calugar, Neagoe Basarab, Mihai Viteazul, Petru Cercel, Aron Vodă, Gheorghe Ştefan).
The church's design includes Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements, being in fact a synthesis of these styles under Byzantine cast. Here, the tomb of Nicolae Titulescu (1882-1941), former Foreign Minister of Romania, is to be found.

St. Nicholas Church, founded by the ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu, is the oldest place of worship in Fagaras. More than three centuries separated us from the beginnings of this Brâncovian jewel, built in 1697-1698.
Above the entrance door to the narthex there is a inscription, with words dug in stone and the coat of arms of Wallachia, which tells us that the one who founded this church dedicated to St. Nicholas is Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu and the church was built in 1698, the tenth reighn year of the prince.
The architect is not known, but it is very likely that he was one of the artists trained in the so complex atmosphere of the Hurezi School.
The church as a whole marks the presence of the brâncoveane Renaissance style. The facades reveal two girdles characteristic to this style, as well as cornice under the eaves, made in apparent brick. The open porch is surrounded by ten octagonal columns. And the bell has an octagonal shape and is situated above the nave. There are three domes, of brick and hemispherical form. Characteristic of the Brâncoven style are the seven windows with sculpted stone frames as well as the door frame, preserved in its original shape.
And the iconostasis of the church "St. Nicholas "is the original one, carved with a special craftsmanship in oak wood, in the same brâncovenesc style, glazed with gold leaf. His painting was made, as evidenced by the inscriptions, by the painter Preda of Câmpulung.
The decoration of the altar and nave was executed in the fresco technique, closely following the Byzantine iconography and style, by the two sons of Preda, Preda and Theodosius. The painting of the narthex was made later and is the work of an unknown painter of much lower value.

The church "Saint Nicholas" is the oldest church in the city, the old medieval art monument inscribed in the heritage of the Romanian Academy.
The great historian Nicolae Iorga believed that the church, which was built on the site in 1515 and then was repaired in 1810, comes from ancient times, from a Romanian ruler.
It seems that the original church was quite of small dimensions. As the number of residents was increased by approximately five times, the size of the church was unfit for its purpose.
In the late seventeenth century the church was finished, being stuck in the narthex of the chapel.
In the oral reports, the elders of the village said that after the Battle of 1690 at Zărnești, the Tatars burned the village, and here it did not stand after that scorching fire than the new church, whose brick and stone walls left in their place.
It is believed that the rise of this place would have been helped by a prince of Wallachia, respectively the predecessor of Constantin Brâncoveanu, Şerban Cantacuzino.

Casa Sfatului, construită iniţial ca turn de veghe, a fost transformată în Primărie pe măsură ce oraşul s-a dezvoltat. În 23 decembrie 1420 s-a încheiat un acord între Adunarea Districtului Ţara Bârsei şi breasla blănarilor privind construirea ei. Din cauza invaziei turceşti din 1421, a distrugerii în mare parte a oraşului, precum şi a arestării magistratului oraşului, acest proiect a fost amânat.
Următoarea menţiune despre Casa Sfatului din Braşov apare în 1503, clădirea fiind menţionată sub numele de „Praetorium”. Clădirea dominată de un turn înalt de 58 de metri (construit între 1525-1528), denumit „Turnul Trompeţilor” de unde se dădea alarma când oraşul era ameninţat de vreo primejdie, a fost restaurată în stil baroc în 1977.

The Ethnography Museum of Brasov and its three branches, the Urban Civilization Museum of Brasov, the Săcele Ethnographic Museum and the "Gheorghe Cernea" Rupea Ethnographic Museum are waiting for you to travel with the stories of our exhibitions and to discover the activities we offer.
The Ethnography Museum in Brasov is dedicated to the civilization of the rural communities in the Bran area, Rupea, Ţara Oltului and Ţara Bârsei. Together with the two subsidiary museums, Sacele Ethnographic Museum and "Gheorghe Cernea" Rupea Ethnographic Museum, the institution aims to present various ethnographic aspects of the most representative areas in the county.
In the central pavilion of Brasov there is a large permanent exhibition that includes, in a brief treatment, a common work for all ethnographic areas: the craft of the tissue and its functional application in the organization of the interior and in the popular costume.
The Urban Civilization Museum of Brasov is housed in an important monument of civil architecture, representative of the typology of public and private commercial spaces in Transylvanian towns, XVI-XIX.
The Museum of Urban Civilization of Brasov won the award of the Romanian Committee awarded for the year 2010, the year of the official opening of the Braşov Museum.
This award recognizes the remarkable modern valorisation of the historical monument restored, as well as the unique concept of the museums in Romania.
The Ethnographic Museum in Sacele operates in a historic monument building, documented in 1543, which served as a place for the gathering of dances for three centuries.
The permanent exhibition illustrates segments of life specific to the traditional civilization of the Carpathians (occupations, crafts, technical installations, a living space and traditional costumes). These aspects highlight the hypotheses of the multiculturality of the Sacele area by suggesting a common world to both the Moans and the Csangos. In the courtyard of the museum there is a hydraulic hammer hammer. Piua, who thickened thick woolen fabrics, was transferred from Târlungeni to the courtyard of the museum.
The urban-rural relationship, indirectly exposed in the exhibition, brings to the fore the phenomenon of acculturation, the settlements being strongly influenced by the urban way of life due to their location in the proximity of Brasov.
65 km from Brasov, on the road connecting Brasov to Sighisoara, in the center of Rupea, is the "Gheorghe Cernea" Ethnographic Museum. The museum, housed in a historic building from the 19th century. eighteenth century, recently renovated, evokes the rural world around Rupea, whose fair is a documentary attested in 1433.
The museum design aims to illustrate the main aspects that define the specificity of the Rupea ethnographic area: traditional fishing on Olt, pottery center in Drăuşeni, customs specific to the Saxon population in the area (Kronenfest), the Romanian wedding, the interior of the Saxon and Romanian houses and the flourishing trade in the Cohalm fair (Michael Falk's grocery store).
The museum can be named Gheorghe Cernea (1898-1965), one of the most outstanding personalities in the Rupea area, dedicated to Romanian folklore and ethnography.

The main activities are:
scientific establishment, administration, preservation and restoration of museum heritage;
scientific research, evidence, documentation, protection and development of the museum heritage;
permanently and / or temporarily capitalizing on museum heritage for the purpose of knowledge, education and recreation;
organization of field, systematic and rescue archeological research, and archaeological research to find new archaeological sites;
permanent contact with target audiences (in particular, Braşov community, Braşov county communities, students, Romanian and foreign tourists);
permanent contact with media, non-governmental organizations, cultural bodies, educational and research institutions, museums, international bodies and fora.
The Brasov County Museum of History is a member of ICOM - International Council of Museums and since 2014 collaborates with the European Institute for Cultural Itineraries.

Traseul verde este un parcurs ușor, unde deja ne obișnuim cu înălțimea jocurilor; nu depășește înălțimea de 6 metri. Cel albastru este un parcurs de dificultate medie, considerat cel mai plăcut; nici prea ușor, nici prea greu, atât cât să fie distractiv. Traseele roșu și negru cer deja forță și tehnică, avem parte de adrenalină la înălțime. Cel mai înalt punct îl întâlnim la traseul negru, 20 de metri.
