Dear hiker,

Spring is the best time to discover the beauty of the hills in the heart of Transylvania – the fresh air, the bright green pastures, and the peace of the country roads.
We’ll start in the village of Șeica Mică, on an easy hike along a picturesque segment of the Via Transilvanica, winding through gentle hills, orchards, and flower-covered meadows. The open landscapes offer wide views of Saxon villages and the forests outlining the Târnava region.
After a few hours of relaxed walking, we’ll arrive in Agârbiciu, where a tasty finale awaits us: a visit to the father’s cow farm, a place where tradition, care for animals, and skill are felt in every product. We’ll see how cheese is made, hear the story of the place, and enjoy a tasting of fine cheeses – fresh, aged, natural, served with heart.
