Led by Leon Hopper. Departing from and returning to Budapest,
this tour traverses eastern and central Transylvania and visits many
of the significant Unitarian
sites including Kolozsvar, Torda, and Mezsko. You will have the opportuity
to spend the 3-day weekend with our partner congregation.
• Village Life Cycling Experience. (July 8 - 20)
Easy to moderate day-trip
bicycling with Zsolt Solymosi (who was a guest at our church) on the
scenic back roads of Harghita County, the heart of the Unitarian community.
Cycling days will alternate with van side trips to the medieval fortress
city of Segesvar/Sigisoara, the Praid salt mines, and the UNESCO world
heritage sites at Szekelyderz and Biertan. Departing from Bucharest,
this tour includes a weekend stay with a Unitarian congregation and a

For ages 15-19. Travel

walled churches of Southeastern Transylvania. Departing from Bucharest
after a morning tour of the city, this tour visits Peles castle,
home of the Romanian King, and the unique fortress churches of the Haromszek
region. It includes two nights
at mountain resorts and a 3-day visit to a Unitarian village where you will celebrate
