Dear hiker,

Route: Șeica Mică – Agârbiciu; a light tour open to everyone – from young to old.
Autumn paints the Transylvanian hills in warm shades of bronze and gold, offering fairytale landscapes. We start from Șeica Mică on a gentle walk along Via Transilvanica, among rolling hills, rusty pastures, and multicolored forests, enjoying the peace of the countryside trails.
At the end, in Agârbiciu, we will visit Father Madaras Nicolae’s dairy farm – an authentic place where tradition and skill give life to natural cheeses, both fresh and aged. We will discover the story of the place and enjoy a tasting of pure flavors, served with soul.

WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?
