Sibiel Village

 Sibiel is a fairy village among the mountains, on the edge of the forest. But the fairies of this village grow and make everything themselves, from cheese to wine. 🙂

As such, village agritourism enthusiasts fill this lovely village, which is already small. Colorful historical houses, horse carriages roaming the streets, and the food that comes from the branch to the table brought us here.

The fans of this village are not only tourists. From time to time, he visited the gardens for agritourism in bears and pigs on the mountain. 😛

Romanians are proud to continue their traditional way of life. In these days when village life in many parts of the world fell victim to technology and urbanization, it is both astonishing and admirable that they are able to maintain this culture until today.

Now is the grape harvest season. Wines are made in house.

Romanians have been ruled by others in their own lands for centuries. In an environment of distrust in this administration, the villages had to be self-sufficient.

Finally, Romania became autonomous after the World Wars.

However, with the communism that followed and the dictator Ceauşescu indexing the economy to agriculture, agriculture and animal husbandry are now ingrained in the DNA of Romanians. This is a great place to stay. About 30 households in the village have turned their houses into hostels. Owners are also very warm people. Instead of staying overnight in Sibiu, which is 20 minutes away, we preferred to stay in these hostels, which are much sweeter and more economical.

They wrap right away. They invited us to the wedding in the village. You can find the video and article on our Transylvania Romanian Wedding page.

We woke up in the morning to the sound of horseshoes for the first time in our lives. :) Everyone has a car, but the tinkling horse carriages are also widely used.

We have seen many wells in our lives, but for the first time we saw the one filled with sparkling water. There is water in the houses, but for some reason, many still draw water from here. Unfortunately, this table is not our table, but we wanted to share it because it is a typical Romanian table. (We also shared our table - the breakfast of the hostel we stayed - in the comments 🙂

Traditional plates & jugs are widely used in Sofia.

Sarma, feta cheese, pita, pickles recipes are from the Ottoman Empire, the ingredients are from the farm.

Let us remind you that Sibiel is 20 minutes away from Sibiu. Do not miss this beautiful village, where you can reach 10 Lei per person by Transmixt buses from Sibiu.
