Tohanu Nou between the cycling route and history

In Tohanu Nou, two specific themes can be distinguished for a stay: a cycling route that passes through the village and the historic school building “Şcoala veche.” In nearby Bran, Bran Castle adds another historic landmark. You can plan your trip around whichever focus interests you: cycling, local architectural history, or the changing history of a castle.

Cycling route and scenery

The Tohanu Vechi–Predeluț–Tohanu Vechi circular cycling route passes through Tohanu Nou. The route name identifies Tohanu Vechi and Predeluț as reference points; Tohanu Nou is explicitly part of the route. For your planning, this is a clear distinction: the village is part of the loop, while the route name highlights two other place names. If cycling is the focus of your trip, you can consider Tohanu Nou one section of this circular route.

The scenery along the loop includes views of the western cliffs of the Bucegi Mountains and the Piatra Craiului Mountains. The western cliffs are specifically mentioned for the Bucegi, while the view of the mountain range is noted for Piatra Craiului. This lets you understand the tour not only through the place names on the route, but also through its landscape. Check route conditions before setting out, as they may change.

A historic building in the village

The historic school building “Şcoala veche” is located in Tohanu Nou, at Str. Bisericii 8, and dates to 1784. The designation BV-II-m-B-11835 belongs to this building. Together, the name, address, designation, and date provide a specific point of reference for anyone interested in the history of the village. The year places the building in the 18th century; at the same time, the reference clearly concerns this one specifically named school building. Alongside the cycling tour, this offers a second perspective on Tohanu Nou: the history of a particular building.

Bran Castle and the road connection

In nearby Bran, Bran Castle served over the centuries as a site of conflict, a customs house, a royal residence, and later a museum. This sequence describes the castle’s changing historical roles. This landmark differs from the history of the school in Tohanu Nou: here, the focus is on a castle’s various functions over time, while there it is on a specific building dated 1784. If you would like to include regional history in your trip, you can consider these two topics separately.

For orientation, road DJ 112E leads from Râșnov or Bran via Tohanul Nou and Tohanul Vechi into the Zărnești area. This road connection and the circular cycling route offer different reference lines for planning: DJ 112E places the village along a road route, while the loop names Tohanu Vechi and Predeluț and passes through Tohanu Nou. It is worth keeping these routes distinct when planning your drive and cycling tour.

The loop represents the cycling focus, “Şcoala veche” the history of a building in the village, and Bran Castle the changing history of a nearby castle. Consider which theme you would like to shape your trip; this can help you tailor your hotel search to your plans.
