Cycling in Eremitu

Terra Siculorum is the Latin name for Szeklerland, a region of Romania that plays a significant role in shaping the ethnic, cultural, and historical layers of Via Transilvanica (VT). Along this section, the Szekler communities stand out with their distinctive character, as does the natural landscape, featuring vast pastures, gentle hills, flowering meadows, and rich forests of beech, pine, and spruce. Some of the key highlights of this section include the excellent pălinca, delicious lángos, salt mountains, the Hungarian language, traditional handicrafts, a deep love and care for horses, captivating stories, and an abundance of tasty food. We uncover the ancient runic script, the Szeklers' distinctive mustaches, their traditional attire, intricately carved Szekler gates, grand celebrations with their characteristic folk dances, and homemade potato bread. Fierce guardians of Szekler customs, traditions, and culture, the people are exceptionally hospitable and endlessly cheerful. More details:https://www.viatransilvanica.com/en/
