 1   Medias – Saxon historic centre

~1h visit to the historic centre: the Evangelical Church of St Margaret (a fortified church with a massive tower), Corneliu Coposu Square and the lanes of the Saxon guilds. The interior frescoes and imposing walls tell the story of the Saxon community. An authentic city with the layers of history in plain sight.

 2   Alma Vii – Fortified Church

One of the best-preserved Saxon fortified church ensembles in Transylvania — less visited and all the more authentic for it. The inner courtyard preserves the old guild storerooms (Speckturm), where villagers kept their provisions in case of attack. A quiet atmosphere, a small village, time seemingly stopped.

 3   Richis – Fortified Church & lunch at Villa Rihuini

A Saxon village with a remarkable fortified church, its interior richly decorated with plant and animal motifs and the famous “Green Man”. Defensive walls raised around the year 1500. Lunch break with local gastronomy and wine at Villa Rihuini.

 4   Biertan – UNESCO Fortified Church

One of the most impressive fortified churches in Transylvania, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993. Triple defensive walls, an imposing tower and a village that preserves the authentic image of the old Saxon settlement, with the church raised on a hilltop at the centre of the community.
