Day Trip: Village Life in Sibiu Countryside

Moments to expect in the Sibiu countryside trip:

• 

  Cristian Fortified Church

  The village of Cristian is where Saxons and Landlers used to live. It is a multicultural place with so many nice stories. In Cristian we'll have a lovely stop at the Bacon Tower and learn more about the stork shelter in town.

• 

  Sibiel Icon Glass Museum

  This unique museum has the most beautiful and biggest collection of Orthodox icons in Romania, and probably Eastern Europe. You will learn about the important role religion played in Romanian history and culture and see how painting styles evolved over time.

• 

  Cisnadioara fortress

  Dating back to the 12th century, this is among the first fortresses built in Transylvania. Though an amazing construction for its time, it is now in ruins. Nevertheless, there is much history to be learned here and an amazing view over the surrounding area.

• 

  Relaxing walk in the orchards of Sibiel

  If the weather is nice, we suggest you a pleasant walk in the orchards above the village of Sibiel. The apple trees and plum trees here are around two hundred years old. They have a lovely story, but we'll learn more here while enjoying the views and, why not, tasting some jucy fruit.
