Log Text: The trail is clearly marked with a white and blue vertical stripes all the way from the road to the site. I was in good shape and made it in 40 minutes.
It is the only Dacian fortress whose walls have never been breached. The defenders had to surrender after the Romans besieged them and cut their water supplies.
