Friday dinner
Hello everyone,
I'll be visiting Sibiu in June this year for 3 Nights.The first day I will spend in Sibiu itself,the third I will visit the Astra Folk Museum on the out skirts of town.What is the best day trip to do from Sibiu on my spare day,taking into consideration that I would have already visited Sighisoara,Brasov and their surroundings beforehand and will not have my own car.
Cheers.
You could head south across the Carpathian mountains towards Ramnicu Valcea (a rather long 2 1/2 hours by train, but it's through the spectacular Olt valley) and on to Horezu (a small town one hour away from Ramnicu Valcea by bus) to see the remarkable 17th century monastery there (it's a UNESCO world heritage site) there and sample the traditional pottery made in that region.
I spent a day in the villages and small towns of Rasinari, Cisnadie, and Cisnadioara south of Sibiu, using a mixture of local buses and walking on country roads. I really enjoyed it in a low-key way, there aren't any major sights, just a couple of fortified churches and a taste of rural Romania.
Thanks for everyones ideas.Has anyone done the Avrig,Carta and Balea lake route?
I have seen it offered as a trip from Sibiu and it sounds like a good day out.
Just walk around in the historical center of the city. You will like this old city with bulding from the last centuries in the style of the old Austro-Hungarian empire. Just arround this old part of the cities you will notice the wall which was ment to protect the town in case of war.
You have to go here! Ocna Sibiului is a former salt mine. Lakes were formed and the water contains very large amount of salt, thus people can stand floating without moving even a finger. Look closely at the picture, nobody is doing nothing, and this is a good thing not to try to swim, because if you get one drop of salty water in your eyes you will cry. I'll give you a hint .. if you get a splash of water in your eyes the only way to end the pain is to ask somebody (preferable an opposite sex friend) to 'kiss' you on the eye to take the salty water - this works believe me.This lake is a must see and bath into, it's the most 'saltiest' lake in Europe.
Built up between 1963 and 1989, as the most elaborate scientific-documentary and technical collection and archives (pictures, photos, films) dealing with pre-industrial folk technology in Romania. It offers a brilliant demonstration of life and material continuity in this part of Europe.
In Cisnadiora you can leave the car parked in any path that you see. Leave it and start walking, into the forest, but dont get lost, be aware of bears, but despite of this you can find yourself in unsual situations that will make you happy to be there... just like this one..!
In summer time time is also cool to come around here in sunny days ...because everybody come around here to do BBQ just like us!!!
The Evangelical Church's organ dates back to 1772. It has 6002 pipes and is the largest church organ in Romania.
We did not get to hear it played, one guidebook says there are recitals on Wednesday evenings at 6 pm, the other says on Sunday in winter at 7 pm so as with all things in Romania (and tourism), you should check out the information with a more recent source.
