Romania’s significant German (Saxon) heritage is obvious
in Southern Transylvania, home to hundreds of well-preserved Saxon towns
and villages. Saxons came to Transylvania during the mid 1100s from the
Rhine and Moselle Rivers regions.

- Monasteries on quiet hillsides;
- Forests sheltering abundant wildlife;
- Shepherds who still spend all summer on alpine pastures;
- Starry night skies without the orange glow of a city;
