Snagov Lake is situated about 30 km from Bucharest. This beautiful lake is a getaway for many city dwellers as there are very many resorts and Ski Mountains in this area. The lake its self is surrounded by a forest that is host to many different species of animals. But the main reason people come to Snagov is the monastery that is situated on an island in the middle of the lake that is only accessible by boat. The Snagov monastery is said to be the place where they sent the headless corpse of Vlad Tepes (Dracula) after he was assassinated. This is argued by many people as most historical facts about this intriguing man are. An excavation performed in 1931 reportedly found an empty grave, while some accounts tell of the exhumation of a richly dressed decapitated body. Never the less the Frescoes and painting surrounding the tomb is a great site to see and is a necessary stop for Dracula fans and followers.
