Biertan to Sighisoura

Sunday Sept 11
Beirtan to Sighisoura  35km  Total 2627km

We headed off to breakfast provided by our pension.  It was down the road in an old cellar that's been done up as a restaurant.   Great setting.   The cellar is where they store their wine and food over the winter.

This was a lovely puppy owned by the woman who looked after our pension
Biertan is a lovely little village with lots of old houses to 1800, horses and carts, goats and dogs.




The main tourist attraction for the town is the castle.  Very spectacular.








No falling asleep in this church

The lock to the door




Old wine terraces in the distance

We had to be careful on these stairs!

Hand made nails

And even more careful on these ones
Eventually headed off on our ride to Sighisoura.  Only 35km so didn't take us too long.
Staying in another AirBnB, although we think we've been spoiled by the one in Sibui.
Lots of tourists around in Sighisoura, a bit of a cultural shock after the peace of the last couple of days riding.

I think it says Dracula was born here




Gandalf's house rather than Dracula's castle

Another pleasant setting for dinner
