Start your day with the UNESCO peasant-built multi-story fortification complex of Prejmer, where the foremost local families had a refuge room to run to during the frequent invasions. Then we continue to Malomkert, a village inhabited predominantly by Hungarians. On this isolated enclave region, the bread is still done the old ways. You may witness how the flour itself is ground, the millstone turned by the force of the water. Find out more about the old technologies in the amazing (but virtually unknown) local museum, tended for four generations by the same enthusiastic family. Marvel at the extensive collection of agricultural machinery from the late 19th century, the cellar full of cooking stoves and step into the authentic homes (rebuilt on the property) full of items from past times. Meet the caretakers and hear their story. We then invite you for lunch: the local produce, cooked following centuries-old recipes, will reveal what true Hungarian food should taste like. In the early evening, check into an old baron’s estate turned into a cozy luxury hotel. Take a swim or just have some rest, waiting for your carriage ride over the fields to a sheepfold, where you will join the shepherds for a memorable dinner of their self-made cheese, moonshine and steaming stew around the open fire.
