Accessible tour of Transylvania

Transylvania is a melting pot of cultural and historical heritages:  Romanian, German, and Hungarian. This region is fascinating by its unique mix of cities, traditions, crafts, and lifestyles. Not to mention the beautiful natural landscapes, such as gorges carved by whirling rivers, high plateaus sprinkled with sheep and cows that will provide you milk or other natural products, hills caressed by the gentle sun and so on.
