Sighisioara I stopped on the way to visit this city. We drew attention and how we are more daring, we plan to reach it. Not every
car can go up, but the road on foot is as pleasant and charming. Fortress is great and I'm sorry I waited so long before her
visit. Should be promoted with more interest and a tip for those who have not got to see it again: go! worth way, worth the money spent
fuel, worth mess, deserve! Oh, and another thing: do not forget to take a camera.
