Join us on a hike with a touch of fairy tale, on a route full of charm and history, in the heart of Transylvania. We start from Biertan, one of the most picturesque Saxon villages in Romania, guarded by the imposing fortified church – a UNESCO monument and symbol of the harmony between man and nature.
We slowly climb the Via Transilvanica, following the old wine road, which winds over terraced hills, once full of vineyards. As we gain altitude, spectacular panoramas of Biertan open up before us, with its medieval towers, reddish roofs and tranquility that seems to have remained untouched by time.
The road takes us through meadows and gentle forests, at a gentle pace, perfect for stories and photos. Finally, we arrive in Richiș, a village with a special charm, where we visit the evangelical church, famous for its mysterious sculptures and its special energy.
This tour is a return to simplicity and tradition, a journey through dreamlike landscapes and living history.
We also stop at the courtyard of the Green Man, where we can catch our breath and order food or drinks.
