Florești
About the village
If serenity is what you are looking for, then come to Florești. A small, authentic and remote Transylvanian village, Florești is not much than a handful of traditional houses grouped at the edge of Transylvanian wilderness. Hop and corn crops, green pastures where field flowers grow at ease and dense forests guard the village and unable it to enjoy pure air.
A ten minutes walk and you arrive at the sheepfold kept by Coșorean family, where you can see real Transylvanian lifestyle unfolding in front of you. Just above the village there is a plateau with secular oak trees which is the perfect place for a picnic.
The evangelical church of the village was built in 1424 with help from the local noble family Bethlen.
