Rupea Fortress
A basalt hill fortress nine kilometres away with three enclosures climbing the rock, restored in 2013 after standing as a ruin for two centuries. It commands the road between Brașov and Sighișoara, and the climb through the three enclosures takes about half an hour.
-
Viscri Fortified Church
A Romanesque church of about 1100 that was fortified in the fifteenth century, whitewashed inside and out, with a bacon tower and a wall walk of rough boards. It is on the UNESCO list, and the tower ladder is steep enough to stop anyone uneasy with heights.

Viscri 125
A Saxon farmhouse restored around its courtyard, barn and hay loft, with lime plaster, tiled stoves and a kitchen garden that supplies the table. It is the reason many stay a night in Viscri, and the street outside is still unpaved and worked by horse and cart.
