1Fortified church (UNESCO)Cetatea țărănească Prejmer
A Gothic church begun in 1218, ringed by a thick wall with more than 270 storerooms on four levels where villagers sheltered during sieges.
It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, and the refuge rooms in the wall survive almost complete, with their wooden stairs and galleries.

2Fortified churchBiserica fortificată Hărman
A Saxon church with a tall bell tower, ringed by a 12-metre wall with seven towers, and a chapel in one tower painted in the 15th century.
The fortress was never taken: in 1612 the villagers held out here against the army of Prince Gabriel Báthory, and the tower chapel keeps paintings of the Last Judgement.

3Nature reservesDealul Lempeș și Mlaștina Hărman
A 704-metre wooded hill between Hărman and Sânpetru, a reserve with steppe grassland, and at its foot, towards Hărman, the small Hărman marsh reserve.
It is the nearest walk in nature: from the top you see Brașov and Postăvarul, and on the slopes grow steppe plants that arrived after the last ice age.
