We had another morning for a further wander in Sighișoara – museums and churches now were open and ready for visit.
Around midday we left Sighișoara and made our way to Viscri – or Deutsch Weißkirch – a Saxon village about an hour away from town.

Into Sighișoara
We now continued into Transylvania – towards our first overnight stop in Sighișoara or (to use the German name) Schäßburg.
With the region settled since Roman times, the city itself goes back to the 12th century, when immigrant Saxons established the town here. Many of the buildings in the historic city center today go back to a bit later in the 16th century.
