2. • Rimetea in Alba County is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful villages in
Romania. Situated in a dream landscape in the Trascau Mountains, Rimetea has
little to expect to enter the UNESCO World Heritage List. Any visitor who arrives
here remains impressed by the immaculate white of buildings that form an
architecture unchanged for over 100 years. The inhabitants of the area were
renowned for their craftsmanship in ironmaking. Unique objects can be seen
today at the Ethnographic Museum in the commune, but also in the
"endowment" of the households, at the gates, through the gates and lattices.

3. The commune of Rimetea (or
Torockó) is a true miracle
located in Alba County, on the
border with Cluj County. It is
perhaps the most beautiful
village in Transylvania, both
from the point of view of the
environment and the
construction of the village. It is
the only village in Romania
awarded with the Europa Nostra
prize of the European
Commission for the preservation
of the material cultural heritage.
It happened in 1999 as a result
of conservation efforts by locals
and NGOs in Hungary involved in
the project.

4. The beauty of the place adds
the hospitality of the hosts
so that each guest will have
unforgettable impressions.
Of course, each hostel or
host offers traditional
cuisine. Most tourists come
from Hungary. It comes with
small cars with coaches.
Individually or in groups. In
recent years it has become
one of the most important
tourist areas in Transylvania.
The village keeps old folk
customs for over a thousand
years. Locals respect these
customs with holiness in
their daily lives.

5. The medieval fortress, located on Stone Szekler, was still standing in the second half of the
nineteenth century, but at the beginning of the 21st century only remnants are observable. This
stone fortress, erected before the great Mongol invasion of 1241, was the only one in
Transylvania that could keep the Tartar troops, which was a strong impetus for the construction
of the stone fortresses in the Kingdom of Hungary in the second half of the thirteenth century.
