Dear hikers,
On Sunday, October 19, we set off for a walk on the Hills of the Târnava Mare.
We gather in Mediaș, take a private minibus to Nemșa, and from there we follow Via Transilvanica for about 5 km. We enter Richiș, visit the fortified church, stop for a tea, and then continue our day and hike toward Biertan, along the ridges parallel to Via Transilvanica. We’ll have less forest, but more open views.
We’ll arrive in Biertan through the forest behind the fortified church.
The return to Mediaș will be by private minibus.
