Highlights
  • Peasant Fortified Church at Prejmer - This is a day dedicated to fortified churches and citadels. Explore the beautiful area of Barsa Land, surround by seven different mountains, and discover the amazing heritage that the Saxon population built more than 800 years ago. With its impressive walls and strong fortifications, Prejmer seems to be more of a fortified small town rather than just a fortified church. Explore the amazingly unique courtyard and let yourself be impressed by the creativity of its medieval inhabitants.
  • Fortified Church of Harman - From there head to Harman, the close relative of Prejmer. With its white walls, the fortified church in Harman allows you a glimpse into a different time, when churches were more than just places where people prayed, and they were used as places of refuge in time of need.
  • Rasnov Citadel: Garden and Panoramic View - End the day at Rasnov, the citadel built on top of a hill, where more than 80 houses were built inside the walls to accommodate three villages in times of need. Walk the narrow streets of the fortification and enjoy amazing views of Barsa Land from the observation deck on top of the citadel.

Additional Information

This is an enriching journey through the medieval precincts of Transylvania. You will get the opportunity to uncover the historical tales of three of Romania’s most popular and notable fortified establishments and citadels. The initial halt is at Prejmer, which appears to be more akin to a fortified township, as opposed to simply a fortified religious establishment. You will get to appreciate a distinct courtyard and be captivated by its renaissance flare.

The proceeding stop is the Fortified Church in Harman. In the past, this sacred building was more than just a place for people to worship. It also served as a sanctuary for those in need.

Following this, is the visit to the Rasnov Citadel. This awe-inspiring citadel is constructed on a hilltop and its primary function was for protection.

The day concludes with a soothing stroll around Romania’s most famous ski destination: Poiana Brasov. A visit to this location is worthwhile irrespective of the season. It also grants you the opportunity to acquaint yourself with another aspect of Romania.

Transylvanian road trip - This was a great day trip, we got to see many wonderful places for a reasonable price. We loved the citadel, fortified churches and the stories behind them. The walk at the end of the trip in Poiana Brasov was very pleasant and relaxing. Thumbs up! :)
