Rimetea
– Unesco Heritage Village in Transylvania
Rimetea, a Unesco Heritage village, is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved villages in Romania, located at the base of the Trascău Mountains. Known for its white houses with green windows, peaceful streets, and surrounding cliffs, the village has a calm and authentic charm. Rimetea is mainly inhabited by members of the Hungarian minority in Romania, and it has managed to keep many of its cultural traditions alive. In 1999, it received the Europa Nostra Award for heritage conservation — the first Romanian village to receive this recognition.
The area is also famous for a natural phenomenon known as the “double sunrise” — because of the shape of the mountains, the sun seems to rise twice each morning, creating a special and unforgettable moment. The nearby Szekler’s Rock (Piatra Secuiului) adds to the dramatic landscape and offers great hiking opportunities and spectacular views.
During your course in Rimetea, you will not only enjoy the clean air, beautiful scenery, and quiet surroundings — you will also have the chance to experience the village’s traditional way of life. Participants can learn about and see hand-painted furniture with traditional Hungarian patterns, taste or help prepare local dishes and freshly baked bread, and observe or take part in seasonal agricultural activities. You will also visit the Rimetea Ethnographic Museum, which houses traditional costumes, tools, and everyday items that show how people have lived here over the centuries.
The people of Rimetea are warm and welcoming. They are proud of their village and eager to share their stories, food, and customs with visitors. It is the perfect place to slow down, connect with nature, and take part in an authentic cultural experience while learning and reflecting in a peaceful environment.
