Fourth Day : Rest for the mare and history of Transylvania

 The day of the rest of the horses will be dedicated to the discovery of the true history of Transylvania. We will leave Sinca Noua and by car, we will make a journey of about an hour through the quiet Saxon village until we reach one of the most famous, Viscri, with its known fortified church (UNESCO World Heritage), after a journey of 10 km of road dirt. Viscri, a Saxon settlement, with a German minority, of the last 900 years. In 1990, many villages were abandoned for Germany, land of origin of these minorities, but a small number of inhabitants left their native places, with their presence and activities, local traditions. Although now a minority in their own villages, the Saxons began to build a future in villages inhabited by their ancestors for centuries. Prince Charles, of England always an admirer of rural life in these places and the owner of several units both Viscri and in the neighboring countries, invited the representatives of the Saxon villages (Viscri he visited in 2002) at a symposium in London. We will visit the fortified church, we turn to the village and a Saxon traditional lunch will be served with local products (organic), accompanied by wine and brandy always produced on site. In the afternoon we will continue our journey in order to discover the city of Sighisoara, one of the central cultural centers of the Saxons. We will visit the medieval town of Sighisoara (UNESCO World Heritage) and return in the evening at the guesthouse in Sinca Noua.

Fifth and sixth day, 50 km hike through the forests of Transylvania

We will cross the forests and fields we will cross beautiful mountain, we will be able to make long galloping races up to, in the afternoon, in an area where the life of the inhabitants is not changed much from the old times. The work in the mountain farms is still carried out with the support of oxen or horses, not feeling the lack of running water and electricity. We will camp in one of these farms with a fantastic view. We will be served a traditional dinner cooked on the field, and spend a long evening around the campfire telling stories.
