Time for the letter ‘K’ in Frizztext’s A to Z challenge…
From my travels, K could be for Kaysersberg, Krems, Klagenfurt, Lake Konstanz, Klopeinersee, Kloster Weltenburg… but I’m going out on a limb, and heading for Kronstadt, which is the old name for a city in Romania.
Kronstadt is the German name (meaning Crown City – the coat of arms of the city is a crown with oak roots) for Brasov, in the Transylvanian region of Romania. In the Middle Ages, German colonists known as the Transylvanian Saxons played a decisive role in the development of towns, including Brasov.
Brasov is surrounded by the Southern Carpathian mountains:

There is some wonderful architecture in the main square:

Sadly, I took very few photographs when we visited Brasov, so that’s it!
Head over to Frizz’s blog for more examples of the letter ‘K‘

hi Sue, i like your Intros so much! “K could be for Kaysersberg, Krems, Klagenfurt, Konstanz, Klopeinersee, Kloster Weltenburg… for Kronstadt…” – well Konstanz is real nice, Köln too (Cologne), Kansas City: O.K. but your Kronstadt gave me a remembrance to Königsberg, at the Baltic Sea, former German and philosopher’s KANT hometown, nowadays the name of the city for sure has changed…
I forgot Köln, and also Klein Wien…. 😦
You always have a surprise up your sleeve for the A-Z challenge!
Thanks, I’ll have to try to keep the surprises coming!!
That’s clever, using a different language! That’s a lovely square – huge church tower!

Glad you like it, Jude! The church I should have included, which is to the side of the square is Brasov’s Black Church (the largest Gothic church in Romania), but I can’t find the one image I took of this!
You’ll just have to go back then 😉
Funnily enough, I intend to go to Bucharest in the next few years, and could add Brasov!
Lovely view down over the town !
Transylvania … not ventured there yet .. but then I do like an undisturbed nights sleep 😉
Why is it everyone thinks of vampires the minute you say Transylvania!!
It looks beautiful, Sue 🙂
I enjoyed that whole region, beautiful landscapes and plenty of medieval architecture.
Few photos but lots of memories I bet.
Very true!
I love the long shot of the town nestled in the valley. Lovely interpretation Sue. I would have had to go with a lone shot of Koln Cathedral 🙂
