A whitewashed Hungarian village at the foot of Piatra Secuiului — the only Romanian village to have won a Europa Nostra heritage award.

Not a day trip from Brașov

Rimetea Village is roughly 3h 30m from Brașov one way — about 7h in the car before you have seen anything. That makes a long journey rather than a good day, so we keep it out of the planner instead of selling you the drive.

Within a comfortable day we would point you at Sighișoara Historic Citadel, Bran Castle or Peles Castle.
