Geocache Description:

A nice treasure chest next to an iconic location of Medieval Brasov. Finding the box should be easy, Getting the log should require some imagination. Do remember to cover the box to shield it from passersby coming from above. And DO NOT FORCE THE LOCK!


Strada sforii (Romanian for 'String street', German: Fadengasse ) is the narrowest street in the city of Braşov, Romania. It is believed to be one of the narrowest streets in Europe (Spreuerhofstraße, in Germany, and Parliament Street, in England, are narrower).

It is situated near Schei Gate and it is perpendicular to Strada Cerbului (Stag Street). It was initially built as a corridor that firemen could use, and it is first mentioned in 17th century documents. Strada sforii is now a tourist attraction and meeting spot. Its width varies between 111 and 135 centimetres (44 and 53 in), and it is 80 metres (260 ft) 

Strada Sforii este localizata in municipiul Brasov, Romania, intre strazile Cerbului si Poarta Schei. Existenta ei este atestata in documentele din secolul al XVII-lea ca un simplu coridor, pentru a ajuta munca pompierilor. Latimea Strazii Sforii variaza intre 1,11 și 1,35 m, ceea ce ii conferă titlul de cea mai ingusta strada a orasului Brasov. Strada Sforii, cu o lungime de 83 metri, reflecta tendintele de urbanizare a Brasovului medieval.
