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.
