Is it true that Bran Castle isn't the real one and the one that Vlad Tepes had is located in Bistrita?
I found a picture with this castle.

Yes the real castle of Vlad the Impaler is the Poienari Castle - the Bran Castle has just a few of things related to Vlad. Vlad the Impaler never lived in Bran Castle
There is an article you can read about the history of the Bran Castle: Bran Castle History (I) - there you can find more details about the connection between Bran and Vlad.

I think you have to climb 100 stairs to get to that Castle. ANd it is located near Fagaras Mountains in Arges County.

Yes. We should write a detailed article about Poienari Castle - it is a great view there in the middle of the mountains
