Terra Borza Teutonica

About Terra Borza Teutonica

The first extension of the main route, Via Transilvanica maior, is Terra Borza Teutonica, chosen for the importance of Brașov as a gateway into the heart of Via Transilvanica. Kronstadt (German name) is a major tourist hub, providing easy access to the main trail, forming a region worth knowing, visiting, and exploring.

This area presents hikers with Saxon and Hungarian villages, medieval or older towns, hills with scattered sheep, colorful wildflowers that appear in teas offered by hosts, all crowned by the majestic peaks of the Făgăraș, Bucegi, and Piatra Craiului mountains.

It passes through Viscri, a favorite village of a famous crowned head, then through other settlements historically influenced by Teutonic knights, leading to Poiana Mărului, Bran (beloved by Queen Marie), Râșnov with its fortress, and finally Brașov, one of the seven historic citadels of Transylvania.

A miraculous path, inviting travelers to pause, admire, and marvel.
