Dear hiker,

The destination is Hamba, an authentic Saxon village, a place of legends, with a well-preserved fortified church, traditional houses and households that preserve the taste and lifestyle of yesteryear.
Upon arrival, selected local tastes await you: pita cu chisătura, bacon, local cheese, zacuscă, sausages, mashed beans with onions, the most delicious donuts, juice and coffee
