Itinerary
Sighișoara
Sighișoara Citadel
Our journey in the Transylvanian culinary world begins in the most representative city - Sighisoara. Beyond the hundreds of years old fortress and the legends of Dracula, the medieval bistros are waiting for us here. For an hour and a half we will discover the secrets of this city and at the end we will enjoy a delicious coffee!
Saschiz
Cooking Museum
We leave Sighișoara behind and head to Saschiz, one of the oldest Saxon settlements in Transylvania. And because we are on a culinary tour, we must first of all discover the history of cooking. The Saschiz Cooking Museum is where you can discover ancient Saxon techniques used in the kitchen. For example, you will be able to find out how to prepare butter, but also what types of dishes were used.
Saschiz
Traditional Saxon lunch
Certainly, after finding out some of the secrets of Saxon cuisine, we will salivate after the goodies of this area. For almost two hours we will taste more traditional dishes, local products and wines and drinks that you can find only in these lands!
Saschiz
Saschiz Fortified Church
One of the legends of Saschiz commune says that a tunnel that reached the center of the commune would have left the area of the fortified church. Built in the 13th century, the Fortified Church of Saschiz has a defense tower with several firing holes and walls that reach in some places 9 meters.
