You now change the Hungarian enclave for the Saxon village of Viscri, that in the 90’s was slowly becoming a ghost town due to the massive migration of the ethnic Germans. Its fate was changed by the personal involvement of the Prince of Wales, that raised awareness about the danger of losing skills, crafts and architectural treasures that had developed over centuries. Enjoy this living museum, climb the lard tower and step into the traditional forge. Onwards to your next UNESCO site, the citadel of Sighisoara, a place so medievally correct that you could believe you’ve stepped back in time. You may still walk the cobbled streets and marvel at the defense towers. On one of them, the bullet marks from the last siege of the city are still visible. The real Dracula was born in town in 1431; the house is excellently preserved. Leave the beaten path behind and head for Malancrav. Feel like a noble as you step up the porch of this late 16th century manor house, elegantly renovated, also with the involvement of Prince Charles. Dinner will be prepared especially for the Lord of the Manor!
