TÂRNAVA MARE (GREATER TÂRNAVA)
Description
Foto: Mihai Benea Located in the heart of the country, surrounded by green hills dotted with fields of cereal crops, pastures and woodlands, Târnava Mare is an experience waiting to be explored with all your senses! We invite you to observe, tread lightly, listen and smell: all around you will discover miniature miracles! The meadowlands, amongst very few of their kind left in Europe, abound in flowers, healing herbs and aromatic plants found rarely elsewhere on the planet.

If you take a walk through the cool forests, you`ll be surprised by clear-flowing brooks, fresh deer tracks and hundreds of birds singing softly in your ear. The villages that appear between the green hills are full of history and legend. Wherever you go, be prepared to see fortified churches, old walls, stone waterwells.… a real cultural treasure declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The people hereabouts are welcoming and hardworking. You will be convinced when you taste their local food - made with grace and skill. With the help of the Tarnava Mare Slow Food Company you will be able to savour a wide range of products from these Saxon villages: jams made from forest fruits; herb infusions; and last but not least, an exceptional bread baked traditionally in a special bread oven.

You can even buy gifts and souvenirs - everything handmade with passion, from local and natural materials. And if you have time for stories, linger a while to listen to their telling - for sure you`ll leave your heart in the Romanian heartland!
