A beautiful Hungarian village at the bottom of the mountains
The ruins of a former citadel, a traditional Hungarian village and trekking with a great view – perfect tour!
When you think of Transylvania, you imagine an idyllic, picturesque place, hidden behind the Carpathians with villages and old towns spread between valleys and woody hills. But Transylvania was always in the way of the enemies, an entrance gate in Europe. Transylvania is famous due to its wonderful medieval castles, citadels and traditional villages.
At Colţeşti we’ll have a nice, relaxing walk up on the hill till we’ll reach one of the oldest fortifications in the area. The view from the ruins is spectacular.
Rimetea is the only village in Romania that was awarded the Europa Nostra title. It is a symbol of the Hungarian community in Transylvania, the perfect place to discover more about the cultural and ethnic diversity in our region. Depending on your request we can have a longer trekking tour on the Piatra Secuiului peak (1128 m/ 3700 ft) or a shorter trail, just above the village with a great view for pictures.

Like the cultural tours, we can customize the active ones, too. We can have the long trail (more challenging) or we can walk as much as you can, through the village and a bit above it, good enough for some great pictures!
This is not only an active tour; it has the perfect mix between culture and nature. We’ll have the chance to visit two traditional Hungarian villages in Transylvania, learn more about this community and its role during the centuries. We’ll learn more about the local crafts, the changes the area went through in time and its recent history.
The hiking tour can be adapted according to your wish – we don’t have to force ourselves and be exhausted, we just have to enjoy our time out.
No problem! We can adapt it for you… Why not a walk through the village, a visit at the local little museum – a great occasion to learn more about the Hungarian community in Transylvania. There are plenty of things to do!
Adela was fantastic. We planned this trip months ahead and then discovered the Romanian government had scheduled holidays. Adela's adjusted our plans to avoid some of the major crowds.She listened to our pre planning suggestions and catered to our wishes. It was a wonderful time in Transylvania.
