Biertan Fortified Church, Biertan, Romania If we were to describe Transylvania in one word, we would choose diverse. This historical land was home to numerous isolated villages, and we will find their traces of Romanian, Hungarian, Gypsy, and German communities, all living in harmony for hundreds of years. Gypsies first settled in Romania more than 800 years ago, after being forced away from their lands by the Mongol invasion. Today, we will visit an isolated community of Gypsies who earn their living through various crafts such as coppersmithing.
Because they are a slightly isolated community, the access is permitted only to those accompanied by someone they trust.

Our day trip from Cluj was exceptional! We began in Medias, a beautiful Saxon town with a rich history. The visit to the nearby Gypsy village was particularly memorable, where we observed a fascinating metalworking workshop. The highlight was the Biertan Church, an impressive architectural and historical site. Ending the day at Sighisoara Fortress was perfect, offering a captivating glimpse into the past. The guide was insightful, and the comfortable transport made the day smooth and enjoyable.
