Description
Discover Transylvania’s living rural heritage on a half day trip from Brașov. Visit the UNESCO-listed fortified churches of Prejmer and Hărman, then enjoy a traditional lunch in Bod.
Begin your day in Brașov and travel through the picturesque countryside of the Burzenland (Țara Bârsei), a region shaped for centuries by Saxon settlers.
Make your first stop at Prejmer Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved fortified churches in Eastern Europe. Learn how medieval communities defended themselves against invasions and discover daily life inside the fortress walls.
Next, visit Hărman Fortified Church, another impressive Saxon stronghold, famous for its massive walls, towers, and panoramic views over the surrounding villages. Gain deeper insight into the Saxon culture, traditions, and their lasting influence in Transylvania.
Continue with a highlight rarely offered to visitors: a traditional lunch in the village of Bod, hosted by local families in their own homes. This is not a restaurant, but a genuine cultural encounter where you will enjoy homemade Romanian dishes prepared with local ingredients, accompanied by stories about rural life, customs, and traditions. Enjoy a traditional Saxon lunch featuring the famous Saxon lard, the beloved Balkan treasure zacuscă, and authentic Transylvanian pălincă, served in a historic village house dating back to 1835 in Brenndorf.
This tour is ideal for travelers looking for authentic experiences, cultural depth, and meaningful connections with local people—far beyond typical sightseeing.
