Centrul Istoric Sighisoara

BreakfastThe fourth day is dedicated to the appreciation of the cultural heritage that we were blessed to have in Romania, and one of the touristic attractions that you will visit today is Biertan Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church was fortified in the Middle Ages by its craftsmen, whose descendants live in this area to this day, preserving traditions that are hundreds of years old. BBC presented the uniqueness of Biertan, and compared it to a “medieval prison for marriage problems”.Like any other Saxon settlement, the village had an urban organization, standing out through a French style of rows of houses placed around a central square, on top of which the imposing Fortified Church watches. The interior of the church is spectacular, with the impressive monument combining the Gothic and Renaissance styles beautifully. It is said that inside the church you can find a cell where couples were locked in order to solve their personal issues.You will then take a stroll through the village, where we will attend a local workshop of traditional embroidery, and then you will serve lunch in a medieval-themed restaurant. Then, you will leave for Sighisoara, whose historic center is included in the UNESCO Wolrd Heritage Centre.Sighisoara is the only inhabited medieval citadel in Europe, and some historians claim that it is the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler. Due to its remarkable architecture, it's imposing positioning, and its geographic ambiance, the city was named the “Pearl of Transylvania” ever since the 19th century.In Sighisoara, you will visit the Clock Tower, about whose clock a legend says that it is never desynchronized, thus tourists and locals always adjust their clocks according to the one in the tower. The roof has a pyramidal shape and is 34 meters tall, being covered by two bulb-shaped domes covered in copper sheets. The roof of the Clock Tower closes with a small golden globe, and on top of it, a meteorological pole was placed, with a metal rooster on top that tells the direction the wind is blowing from. Also, if the rooster faces the sunset, it is said that it will rain soon.You will then head to a castle that belongs to the Kálnoky Family, mentioned in official documents for the first time in 1588 as the landowners of Micloșoara. The archeologic sites proved that a manor existed on that location before today’s castle. Near the castle, you will also find an English park from the 19th century, where today only a couple of rare species of trees remain.Overnight at a traditional guesthouse.

You will step into the natural world ever since the first hours of the morning, by climbing the Tampa Mountain Natural Reservation. It was created in order to protect and preserve the natural landscape and the species of flora and fauna, and it is considered the only natural reservation in the world located in the middle of a city.The plant collection of Tâmpa is remarkable: 458 superior plants and over 40 species of mosses. A large number of plants are protected at a national and European level, such as Snake’s Head (Fritillaria meleagris), which is almost extinct.

The animals can also be observed from a quiet observatory in the natural reservation so that you can truly enjoy the beauty of nature.Once you reach the top of the mountain, you’ll be able to admire the beautiful city, and then we will take a cable car ride in order to get back to the city and take a city tour.
