The day started with a long road drive to Sighisoara. Spent a few hours wandering the place. Then stopped for lunch at Biertan followed by a tour of the fortified church. A long day but worth it. My only comment would be that it would have been nice to stop somewhere during the drive to sighisoara for a coffee/comfort break. Apart from that the two sites are well preserved, clean, and not too many tourist traps. Would definitely recommend Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained things in a lot of detail.
