Transylvania, with its name coming from Latin – ultra silvam (beyond the forest), is one of the most interesting and surprising regions of Romania. Its German, Hungarian and Romanian cultural traditions play a great role in its cultural and ethnic diversity. The Transylvanian plateau is surrounded by mountain peaks and drained by sparkling rivers which makes it both a pleasant place for a relaxing holiday with a landscape pleasing to the eye and an exciting place for adventure-seeking travelers.

In April and May you can witness the beginning of spring by admiring the blossomy fields and fruit trees, the fresh green of the grass, the flowery scents and the clear blue sky. This is an ideal time for experiencing the rebirth of nature and for taking fabulous pictures. Don’t miss a cycling tour through the enchanting villages of Transylvania with medieval atmosphere. It’s a great way to see the area!

These are some of the things you don’t want to miss when you get here:

You have to "taste" the local stuff for a real Transylvanian experience.

The Fortified Churches are an unique and interesting fenomenon. They can be found in only a few places throughout Europe and there were more than 300 Fortified Saxon Churches in Transylvania. Some of them are extinct, some of them are on the virge of extinction but most of them are still proudly standing, even in abandoned and forgotten villages. Some of them (7 to be more precise) had a better fate and they were declared heritage sites and are now on the UNESCO list (Biertan, Viscri, Saschiz, Prejmer, Valea Viilor, Calnic and Darjiu)
