Mărginimea Sibiului

The shepherding villages west of Sibiu — UNESCO is considering them as intangible heritage.

About

Twenty villages spread along the foothills west of Sibiu, all sharing a centuries-old shepherding economy — Sibiel, Rășinari, Săliște, Gura Râului, Tilișca. Octavian Goga and Lucian Blaga were born here. UNESCO has listed the area as intangible cultural heritage. Spend a morning watching the flocks come down to be milked; bring an appetite for fresh cheese and Țuică.
