Sibiu and Brasov – the pearls of Transylvania, located at the foot of the Carpathians. Both cities were founded by Saxon colonists. To this day, you can admire the well-preserved medieval urban layout.
Transfagarasan Highway – one of the two iconic roads of Romania. It crosses the Fagaras Mountains from north to south. It connects Transylvania with Wallachia. At its highest point, at 2,034 m above sea level, there is the longest tunnel in Romania, 884 m long. There are 27 viaducts, 830 bridges and several smaller tunnels on the road. Only available in summer.
Fortified churches – a sensation on a European scale. Seven villages located in southern Transylvania are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List precisely because of their fortified churches. For many centuries, the greatest threat was the Ottoman Empire. For this reason, in towns inhabited by settlers, one of the most important elements ensuring survival was the creation of fortifications that could provide shelter to the population in case of danger. The easiest way to achieve this goal was to strengthen brick churches.
Sighișoara – the most fabulous city in Romania. It was here in the 15th century that Vlad the Impaler was born, whose character is the prototype of the book character Dracula. The house where he was probably born is located in the center of the Old Town. The center of Sighișoara is protected as a fine example of a small fortified medieval city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
