Sighisoara at day

Day 2, Sighisoara, Romania

Never thought, that the real winter will start in Romania, but that's true: after +5 in Germany, I found here lots of snow and a bit frosty air.

Sighisoara in daylight is very beautiful and silent. Probably, it's a great time explore this town in winter: not only because it's covered by the snow blanket, but also there are not so many tourists and the town has its authentic face. There is a mix of medieval charme and winter feeling

Longstory short, we explored the medieval citadel and the high school on the top of it, ancient streets, and of course, the house where Vlad Tepes (the protoype of count Dracula) was born - see the yellow building below.

Plans for the next day: to explore the city of Brasov and the Bran castle, which was Dracula's residence, at least according to Bram Stoker.
