sighisoara is a very well preserved medieval town in transylvania. i stopped for a few hours, which was a perfect diversion on the drive between brasov and cluj-napoca. this was the town where vlad tepes (who mythology would later evolve into dracula) was from. the old town’s central citadel is a hilltop church and cemetery, reached by a long wood-covered staircase.
