Dear hiker,
Just a few steps from Sibiu, the Transylvanian hills offer you a gentle and open landscape, perfect for a spring hike. The hills between Gușterița and Hamba maintain the natural charm of the region – green meadows, easy paths, and wide panoramas towards villages with Saxon influence. The destination is Hamba, an authentic Saxon village, a place of legends, with a well-preserved fortified church, traditional houses, and households that maintain the taste and lifestyle of the past. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with selected local flavors: bread with spread, bacon, kneaded cheese, zacuscă, sausages, mashed beans with onion, the most delicious doughnuts, juice, and coffee.
