Dear hikers,
We invite you on the road of wine and Saxon stories, on a fairytale-like hike, along 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, watched over by the imposing fortified church – a UNESCO monument and a symbol of harmony between man and nature.
We climb gently on Via Transilvanica, following the old wine road, which winds over terraced hills once full of vineyards. As we gain altitude, spectacular panoramas open up before us over Biertan, with its medieval towers, reddish roofs and a silence that seems untouched by time.
The road takes us through meadows and gentle forests, at a calm pace, perfect for stories and photos. In the end, we reach Richiș, a village with a special charm, where we visit the Evangelical church, renowned for its mysterious sculptures and unique energy.
This tour is a return to simplicity and tradition, a journey through dreamlike landscapes and living history.
