As described in the famous novel by Bram Stoker, the castle was near the Borgo Pass. It was reached from Pasul Tihuts, a point near the summit of the crossing, on a road way  leading south into the high mountains. The castle sat on a great rock overlooking the surrounding forest which was sliced by several rivers.

     The castle was built so that attack was impossible. The large windows were placed above the level that arrows and other objects could not reach.

     The most common place to look for the castle would be by the Borgo Pass and in fact there are two castles in that area. The first was built in the 13th century, by the 15th century most of the castle was removed, because of lack of use.
