Itinerary
Moșna
Moșna Fortified Church
Our journey on the road to the fortified churches begins in the village of Moşna. Here we will visit one of the most famous and old fortified churches in southern Transylvania. Built more than 500 years ago, few know that the church is one of the favorites of Prince Charles of Great Britain, being the first he visited in Romania.
Moșna
Tasting organic products on a traditional farm
Before leaving Moşna we will stop for a tasting of traditional products at one of the most beautiful farms in this region. Here we will discover the process of cheese preparation, we will learn how to prepare pickle and jam jars, and we will taste several organic dishes made right at this farm.
Alma Vii
Alma Vii Fortified Church
Despre satul și biserica fortificată din Alma Vii se spune că are puterea de a-ți oferi acea liniște interioară pe care mulți dintre noi o caută mereu. Vom descoperi aici povestea „Helmei”, tânăra înecată despre care legenda spune că a dat numele satului.
Alma Vii
Traditional lunch as in Transylvania
Before leaving these dream lands, we will stop at one of the most well-kept households in these places. Here we will take part in a traditional Transylvanian lunch that will include the dishes that make Transylvanian cuisine famous all over the world. We finish the meal with a brandy, a wine or a glass of natural homemade syrup.
Richiș
The mysterious sculptures from the Richiș evangelical church
La Richiș vom avea parte de o noua doză de mister! Ridicată la sfârșitul secolului XIV biserica dispune de o basilică ce constituie punctul cel mai interesant al acestei construcții. Veche de mai bine de 500 de ani, basilica bisericii are o arhitectură gotică ce ascunde numeroase sculpturi misterioase, a căror proveniență nu a putut fi explicată până în prezent.
Biertan
Biertan fortified church
Our journey among the fortified fortresses of Transylvania ends at probably the most beautiful fortified fortress: Biertan. Built in the 15th century, the fortress was over time one of the most important, Biertan being one of the few Transylvanian settlements that had the right to organize animal fairs.
