Dear hikers,
Sunday, April 6th, we embark on a hike between two fortified churches, like two hidden gems.
We start with the fortified church in Curciu, where we’ll partake in a guided tour and marvel at the International Gothic style paintings. Then, we climb the hills, enjoy 360-degree views, and head north towards the neighboring village, Băgaciu. We descend a gentle slope to visit the church and its Renaissance pews.
