Map of Braşov: Rope street

The alley between Cerbului-, and Poarta Schei Streets is already mentioned by documents dating from the XVIIth century as a street which aided the work of firefighters. Since then it has become one of the curiosities in town. More daring people even assert that this is the narrowest street in Europe. One thing is certain: with its 111 and 135 cm alternating width it is known as the narrowest street in town. Thus, the altogether 80 meters long street became tourists' favorite site, lovers' meeting place and of course photographer's favourite subject.
