The
train took 3.5 hrs to travel 95 km into Sighisoara, but we managed to
check in a nice pension ( right next to the bad and only hostel) in the
dark, cook spaghetti, and go to bed at 1 am. We got up early to tour the
town, and climb around. German craftsmen and merchants, the
Transylvanian Saxons, were invited to he town by the King of Hungary
during the 12th century, to settle and defend the frontier. Central
Sighisoara has preserved in an exemplary way the features of a small
medieval fortified city and it is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage
Site. We got up the landmark of the city, the Clock Tower, a 64 meter
high tower built in 1556. It is presently a Museum of History. — checked in to Sighisoara, Romania.
