Dear Hikers,
On Saturday, November 23, we set off from Mediaș along the Via Transilvanica and leisurely head toward Bazna, where we’ll treat our taste buds, sight, and sound.
This is an easy hike, with only one incline and around 7 km through the forest. From the forest, we’ll head straight to lunch at the Bassen Pension local gastronomic point, where we’ll savor this year’s zacusca, warm up with a local soup, and enjoy a small dessert. Here, we’ll also descend into the pantry, where we can take photos and, more importantly, shop for whatever catches our eye-essentially transferring treats from their pantry to ours.
The third act is dedicated to our ears: in the fortified church of Bazna, we’ll enjoy a private 30-minute concert on the Johannes Hahn organ. Organist Liv Muller will introduce us to the mysteries of Transylvanian organs with both music and brief explanations about this instrument.
