BEST TIME TO VISIT

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!

primavara

Remember: you can have memorable experiences all through the year! Also we do recommend:

December-January (for the winter and the “all white and covered in snow” experience)

July-August (for the warm, sleep-under-the-sky summer nights, the long days and the rich fields filled with crops)

October-November (for a colourful performance given by nature and for the soft sunlight which is ideal for photographs)

Copsa Mare / Grosskopisch
Copsa Mare / Grosskopisch
A free commune of the old Fundus Regius, Copsa Mare used to have some of the most vast and famous vineyards of the region, "The Wine Country". Two churches are mentioned as being used in this town. In the early 14th century, the holy service was recorded as being held in a three-nave gothic basilica; a 1283 document introduces the hypothesis of an earlier church.
