Rasinari to Cisnadioara, Romania – 2024.Our second day of hiking was between two Transylvanian villages situated near the city of Sibiu. We started the hike in Rasinari which is a picturesque village with impressive mountain landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. The trail went through open farmland and forest and ended in the nearby town of Cisnadioara which is known for the fortified church that overlooks the town.
