Cristian Fortified Church

We visit the fortified church in Cristian to learn of local saxon traditions and way of life in this village. It all looks like time stood still in the 19th century here.

45 minutes Admission Ticket Included

The Zosim Oancea Museum of Icons on Glass

In the afternoon, we will take a short excursion from Sibiu to visit two villages that seem to be stuck in time: Sibiel and Fântânele. Here, the population lives from what it produces locally and horse-drawn carriages are a daily occurrence. You'll taste a local made schnapps (țuică) and then visit the glass paintings museum in Sibiel. In the afternoon, you'll head back to Cluj-Napoca.
