SUMMARY<br />
The second Transylvania Village Development Workshop organized by<br />
INTBAU took place in the medieval village of Laslea, the administrative<br />
centre of the Commune of Laslea , from 1- 8 May 2005.<br />
The workshop was organized by INTBAU and the Norwegian Foundation<br />
for Urban Renewal and funded by The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign<br />
Affairs, The Norwegian Directorate for Heritage, The Norwegian Foundation<br />
for Urban Renewal and private sponsors.<br />
The beautiful architectural and natural landscape of the Saxon villages<br />
from Transylvania, the way of life which seems to balance the settlement,<br />
nature and <strong>cu</strong>lture (a balance toppled in western Europe during the XIXth-<br />
XXth centuries),and the uniqueness of the pattern of settlements are arising<br />

a force of attraction to which it is impossible to resist.<br />
The landscape depends on the communities and centuries-old farming<br />
tradition which created form and rhythm of the land.<br />
The main challenge for these villages is to carry this beautiful and balanced<br />
landscape (which seems to be almost unchanged since the middle-ages)<br />
into the twenty-first century , preserving the build and natural Heritage while<br />
allowing the full and healthy development of the communities that give life<br />
to these places.<br />
This workshop is seen as a continuation of the previous, when the main<br />
task was to analyse the qualities of the villages and to produce New<br />
Urbanism based proposals for future development of Laslea, including a<br />
Masterplan with strategic objectives regarding a sustainable development<br />
of the village and design guidance for new traditional buildings inside the<br />
village and in any future sustainable urban extension.<br />

PURPOSE<br />
who and where,<br />
with what purpose?<br />
The workshop gathered an international team of practitioners<br />
and students from Norway and Romania, coming from different<br />
fields such as architecture, restoration, archaeology , history, tourism,<br />
construction and sociology, all interested in Transylvanian Heritage and in<br />
the future sustainable development of the Saxon villages.<br />
The workshop was lead by Audun Engh, a member of the Foundation for<br />
Urban Renewal and by Arne Sodal, Norwegian architect-planner ,chairman<br />
of the INTBAU Committee of Honour, with the consultancy of the architect<br />
Dorin Boila and of Aura Neag , Communications director of INTBAU UK,<br />
and both founders of INTBAU ROMANIA.<br />
The headquarters of the workshop meetings was the newly<br />
opened INTBAU information centre in Laslea which will function<br />
as an information point ,both for tourists who are coming here and for<br />
Laslea, info point 2005. team at work photo Claus Zapffe locals interested in ecotourism and ways of maintaining their traditional<br />
Saxon houses and farming.<br />
If the previous workshop has concentrated itself only on Laslea village,<br />
this workshop considered as an object of study the whole Commune of<br />
Laslea and the relations between the villages within.<br />
The Commune of Laslea is also studied in relation with the other villages<br />
between Sighisoara and Medias.<br />
INTBAU had the task not only of gathering information about local heritage<br />
but as well of co-ordinating information supplied by all organisations acting<br />
in the area (like MET (Mihai Emines<strong>cu</strong> Trust) and FCE (Foundation for<br />
Culture and Ecology) and others).<br />
The purpose of the Workshop project was to make a study of the <strong>cu</strong>ltural<br />
heritage of the medieval Saxon Villages from Laslea Commune, of the<br />
possibilities for eco-tourism ,to test the existing infrastructure and to make<br />

PURPOSE main tasks<br />
More specific Tasks that the participants considered were:<br />
1. To discover the old routes of horse-carriages and to create a map with<br />
all this routes.<br />
2. To identify all points of interest in the Commune of Laslea and in the<br />
villages around, in order to establish what can attract tourism here, and<br />
especially, tourists interested in Heritage and in local traditions.<br />
3. To identify the events and traditions which still exist.<br />
4. To identify the character of architecture, the type which is unique in the<br />
case of the Saxon villages of Transylvania.<br />
5. To make a clear description of the villages.<br />
Considering all these tasks from the very beginning of the workshop, the<br />
team started to gather information in order to establish the actual conditions<br />
of the villages and the facts that can become advantages in the future<br />
development.<br />
The main idea is to raise the awareness about the <strong>cu</strong>ltural Heritage of<br />
Transylvania, about the rarity and the value of the place, both in the<br />
consciousness of tourists and locals.<br />
If tourism is developing fast in larger towns and cities of Transylvania, in the<br />
more remote Saxon villages it is yet largely undeveloped.<br />
The day tourists tend to pass through quickly, having as a result little<br />
economic benefit for the local communities.<br />
The target is ,in this case, to minimize the impact of a possible mass<br />
tourism but to bring benefit direct to the community, so the short term<br />
gain does not destroy the long term future.<br />

STUDY AREA<br />
The study area covers the Commune of Laslea<br />
(150sq.km. and population 3000 people) with its five<br />
villages: Laslea, Malancrav, Floresti,<br />
Roandola and Noul Sasesc (with their old<br />
Saxon names of: Lasslen, Malmkrog, Felsendorf,<br />
Rauthal and Neudorf ).<br />
Laslea is the site of the Town Hall of the Commune<br />
and it was chosen by INTBAU as headquarters for<br />
their actions in this area ,partly because it is closer<br />
to the main road which links Medias and Sighisoara,<br />
and because it is like a gateway to the other villages.<br />
Malancrav is a parti<strong>cu</strong>larly interesting village having<br />
a well preserved architecture owing to its isolation<br />
down 13 km of dirt track, rare 15th century frescoes<br />
and a1520 altarpiece in the church. It has as well<br />
the highest proportion of remaining Saxons in<br />
Transylvania, 170, a resident Evangelical priest and<br />
a German language primary school.<br />
In a plan of ecotourism development of this area,<br />
Laslea can not be considered apart from the other<br />
villages in the area. The workshop team has tried<br />
to create a network of interesting points, including<br />
villages like : Biertan (from 1993 on the<br />
UNESCO list of monuments), Dumbraveni (with<br />
the Apaffy castle from 1661), Saros, Richis ,<br />
Copsa Mare, Valchid and Cris.<br />

Bakkevig (architect student ).<br />
2. Points of interest group - The group had the task to identify the<br />
most interesting buildings, landscapes, fortified churches in the area and<br />
other objects that can become tourist attractions. They also had the mission<br />
of finding out about the possibilities of accommodation and of investigating<br />
Ecological farming and food as a tourism attraction.<br />
People involved in this group were: Claus Zapffe (architect), Carmen Tanase (architect),<br />
Ioana Cristina Bitu (architect), Simina Stan (historian), Catalin Rata (tourism agent).<br />
3. Social and Cultural Events group - The group had the task of<br />

oops, too many...<br />
There are more and more tourists interested in active and adventurous<br />
holidays in the wild countryside of Transylvania, where they can get contact<br />
with the locals and their way of life. These tourists are also very interested<br />
in hiking trips , in riding horses or traveling by carriages like in old times<br />
and why not, in milking cows.<br />
The hiking group has tried to fancy a scenario of a seven days hiking<br />
trip between Medias and Sighisoara, including the visit of the Saxon villages,<br />
camping and horse riding.<br />
They have imagined :<br />
- A hiking family route -with shorter distances between villages<br />
(2-3 hours)<br />
- A hiking sporty route -for trained people with camping equipment<br />
The routes were planned for one week, the last day being reserved for the<br />
visit of Sighisoara. These routes were tested with the routes: Copsa Mare-<br />
Roandola, Copsa Mare- Noul Sasesc, Noul Sasesc-Malancrav-Floresti.<br />
On this tested route they have marked the view points, the picnic spots<br />
and the landmarks.<br />
The Sporty route was:<br />
• 1st day: Medias-Brateiu-Atel-halt and accommodation in Biertan<br />
• 2-nd day: Biertan-Noul Sasesc<br />
• 3-rd day: Noul Sasesc-Rondola-Valchid-Laslea<br />
• 4-th day: Laslea-Floresti<br />
• 5-th day: Malancrav-Apold<br />
• 6-th day: Apold-Saes-Sighisoara<br />
• 7-th day: Sighisoara<br />
The Family route could include more variations depending on<br />
preferences ,the simplest routes being:<br />
• Medias-Brateiu-Atel-Biertan-Noul Sasesc-Valchid-Rondola-Floresti-<br />
Cris-Stejareni-Sighisoara<br />
• Medias-Brateiu-Atel-Biertan-Noul Sasesc-Malincrav-Floresti-Cris-<br />

Tourist Attractions in Comuna Laslea and Around<br />
The research and field work around the villages that make up Laslea<br />
has yielded the following results :<br />
The points of interest group have discovered and made a list of the tourist attractions<br />
and facilities in the five villages of the Laslea Commune, i.e. Laslea/ Grosslasseln,<br />
Floresti/, Roandola/ Rauthal, Nou Sasesc / Neudorf and Malancrav / Malmkrog.<br />
The attractions they have researched include the most important heritage points, such as<br />
the fortified Saxon churches and the other churches, the trails / hiking<br />
paths that connect the five villages with one another and with villages of neighboring<br />
communes, the scenic viewpoints. In the same time, they have researched and added<br />
to the list the towns and villages that are situated within close range, because they can only<br />
work as a complex, a coherent network of settlements. The attractions one can encounter<br />
in these different towns and villages complete one another and make a puzzle that can be<br />
stork nest on the rooftop of Laslea church<br />
illustrative for Transylvania. Laslea Commune can not operate alone in this “competitive”<br />
environment. Not only it is too little and deprived of important basic features (accommodation,<br />
info center , crafts shop) that are present in the neighboring towns, but it also<br />
lacks the prime attractions its neighboring towns can pride on. (the fortified seat of the<br />
Saxon bishop in Biertan / Birthaelm or the whole fortified towns, like in Medias and<br />
Sighisoara)Therefore, Laslea can only address (at least at this stage of tourism development)<br />
a different and much smaller segment of tourism. The tourist infrastructure and the<br />
precarious roads do not allow for large flows of tourists. The fact that some of the attractions<br />
are at least temporarily closed (one has to look for the caretaker of the church, which<br />
may prove quite diffi<strong>cu</strong>lt in an isolated village in a foreign country) may also act as a kind of<br />
barrier for those wishing to visit the area. However, Laslea has a favourable geographic<br />
location. The village of Laslea lies less than half an hour by car from the three important<br />
attractions of the area, i.e. Medias, Biertan and Sighisoara. If we cal<strong>cu</strong>late an one hour<br />
driving time after departure from the above towns, this allows to get to all of the villages of<br />
Laslea Commune. This means that in half a day, with a car, one can do a quick tour of the<br />
five villages. Alternatively, hiking or riding a horse (which should prove easier after maps<br />
are drawn and published) from Laslea to Nou Sasesc or from Copsa Mare to Nou Sasesc<br />
houses front in Medias main square to Malancrav may make a very scenic full day tour.<br />

Below is a short presentation of the Commune and its five villages and<br />
the most important tourist attractions that are accessible within a half<br />
an hour drive.<br />
Laslea village and the main points of interest<br />
- Laslea fortified church. Built in the 19th century on the site<br />
of the former church. It is unique in that it has a north-south orientation,<br />
instead of the traditional position along an east-est axis. It is no longer<br />
used.<br />
- The old belfry tower (from the former gothic church-15th<br />
century)<br />
- Laslea Romanian Orthodox church<br />
- Lodging<br />
Only available at Claudia’s guesthouse, which has somehow of an<br />
improvised character, lacking proper bathrooms for all the rooms. In the<br />
near future, this may become inaccessible, as it is likely to be rented for<br />
several years by companies doing construction works in the commune.<br />
In the future, the parish priest’s house may open as a guesthouse and<br />
training centre for guesthouse owners, if the Lukas foundation, that is in<br />
charge of it and the local hospital, manages to se<strong>cu</strong>re funding. At present,<br />
according to the director of the hospital, several beds are<br />
available for visitors in the attic. (the problem may be that people may<br />
not find it attractive to be lodged in a hospital, along terminally ill patients.)<br />

Nou Sasesc village and points of interest<br />
- Noul Sasesc Evangelical church. Built in 15th century<br />
- A catholic and an orthodox church<br />
- Lodging<br />
Available on request in the parish priest's house. This has two rooms<br />
that can accommodate 4 persons and it also has a bathroom. The person<br />
in charge is Mr Johann Schlager, the caretaker of the Evangelical<br />
Church.<br />
There are some 80 empty houses in the village, the ones in which the<br />
Saxons used to live. These are only partly oc<strong>cu</strong>pied in summer, when<br />
some of the Saxon owners come back to spend their holiday. Maybe in<br />
the future some of them, at least, could be turned into guesthouses.<br />
Currently, they are maintained by the 63 Saxons who still live in the<br />
village.<br />
- Youth camp<br />
After several years of neglect (1998?-2005), the dorms for pupils in the<br />
youth camp are being repaired again. They may accomodate up to 50<br />
pupils at once. The accompanying persons sleep in a separate building<br />
and the facilities also include a kitchen/ canteen.<br />

Malancrav village and points of interest<br />
-Malincrav church.<br />
Built in the first half of the 14th century, . It has outstanding frescoes,<br />
which is twice remarkable, since it is one of the very few Lutheran churches<br />
that have preserved their frescoes, and since these frescoes display an<br />
influence of Byzantine art.<br />
-Malincrav Manor House.<br />
Built by the Hungarian noble family of Apaffy in the Middle Ages, it is now<br />
being restored by the MET. It will be converted into a library and will<br />
comprise lodging facilities for specialist visitors.<br />
-Malincrav Roman-Catholic Church.<br />
There are almost no believers left, and the church is not used any longer.<br />
MET has plans to have it restored.<br />
-Lodging<br />
There is at least one guesthouse owned by the MET.<br />

Dumbraveni and Saros<br />
points of interest<br />
group travel in time<br />
The town of Dumbraveni.<br />
This apparently common town prides on its large Armenian Roman-Catholic church from the 18th<br />
century. Built at a time when the town was the home of a thriving community of Armenian merchants, this<br />
church still attracts large crowds for a yearly religious pilgrimage consecrated to the Assumption of the<br />
Virgin (August 15). Furthermore, just across the street there is a former Apaffy castle, which was partly<br />
destroyed and converted after WWII into a local school. If this is at least partly restored on the outside and<br />
if the centre of Dumbraveni is taken care of, we think an itinerary connecting this castle to the other Apaffy<br />
property in Malancrav and the Apaffy castle near Blaj, as well as the Bethlen Castles in Cris, Sanmiclaus<br />
and Cetatea de Balta might prove interesting for a more in-depth presentation of the history and multi<strong>cu</strong>ltural<br />
background of the area.<br />
The village of Biertan.<br />
This former seat of the bishop of the Saxons (16th to 19th centuries) with its massive hall-church surrounded<br />
by three fortified walls has also become a leading tourist attraction of the area in the last years. A<br />
restaurant and several guesthouses, some of which are operated by the MET, have opened in the last<br />
years. Furthermore, a craft shop which sells good quality artefacts operates now in the main square.<br />
The villages of Cris, Valchid, Copsa Mare, Richis, Bratei, which all have fortified<br />
churches are becoming more and more interesting for hikers and nature lovers.<br />
The town of Sighisoara. It is a municipality with over 30,000 inhabitants and important social<br />
and economic functions. Above all, in the recent years it has developed as a major tourist attraction. The<br />
presence of a fortified town with evangelical churches, mediaeval streets, towers and bastions listed as<br />
an UNESCO heritage site has been attracting increasing numbers of tourists. Consequently, the economy<br />
of Sighisoara has developed a lot, with many new hotels, guesthouses and restaurants.<br />
The town of Medias. Just like Sighisoara, a municipality with over 30,000 inhabitants. Its economic<br />
and industrial functions seem more important than those of Sighisoara, while it gets definitely less tourists.<br />
The fortified town is no longer intact, but the impressive Church of St Margaret or the Castle, as the locals<br />
call it, is still a landmark of the area.<br />
Biertan<br />
In the surroundings of all these towns and villages and in between them, one can find<br />
several dozens of species of rare flowers along the pastures and haymeadows. The<br />
terraced hills provide interesting points of view over the surroundings and integrate into<br />
the general <strong>cu</strong>ltural landscape of the Saxon villages. One can also spot, at day or at night,<br />
various kinds of birds and animals such as foxes, rabbits, deer, bore, lynxes or hawks,<br />
falcons and plenty of storks which nest on the chimneys and roofs of the houses and<br />
churches or on the upper part of lampposts.<br />

in search of old traditions<br />
The Social and Cultural Events Group had the task of making a<br />
research regarding the folkloric and architectural traditions that<br />
still exist and discover the events (holidays, festivals, fairs...) and <strong>cu</strong>stoms<br />
of the place, which define a very typical way of life.<br />
The idea was, on one hand, to propose an archive of the built environment<br />
which can lead further to a code of regulations in the construction field,<br />
and, on the other hand, to discover the possibilities of maintaining the<br />
communities which gave the place life.<br />
The rapid exodus of the Saxons from the 1990s, after the Romanian revolution, has precipitated<br />
sudden great change in the communities. The villages have emptied; the remaining communities<br />
are elderly and impoverished. In 1990, the ethnic mix in the Saxon villages was 70% Saxons,<br />
25% Romanian and 5% Rroma, with a Saxon population of 90.000. Today, the population stands<br />
at less than 20.000, from which, 5% are Saxons, 35% Romanian and 60% Rroma. The<br />
Romanian and Rroma population brought their specific <strong>cu</strong>stoms and traditions and only in few<br />
places there are Saxon traditions which are still kept. (in Richis- the <strong>cu</strong>stom of hanging mistletoe<br />
branches at the windows in may saying that there are girls at that house, is an old Saxon<br />
tradition). The exodus of the Saxons had a big impact on the built environment. Since todays<br />
population is mostly orthodox and catholic, the fortified evangelical churches are not anymore<br />
used for service, and that’s why they are kept in a very bad condition. The houses are mostly<br />
owned by Romanians and Rroma who have a very different tradition in construction and do not<br />
necessarily appreciate so much the appearance and identity of their villages. Those who can<br />
afford to invest are looking more for modern comfort and effects like pebble-dash, crazy paving,<br />
tarmac and Alpine picture windows, statements of the modern world. To educate the locals and<br />
to help them to appreciate the long-term economic benefit of conservation in terms of property<br />
values and tourism could be more effective than State regulation and conservation.<br />

The Building Heritage and Cultural Landscape Group had<br />
the task of looking at the <strong>cu</strong>ltural and natural heritage sites and do<strong>cu</strong>menting<br />
a village profile based on the findings. Their research tried to find the<br />
common and the parti<strong>cu</strong>lar features of the Saxon villages , their relationship<br />
with the landscape, the typical and equally, the unique which is significant<br />
for the Saxon villages.<br />
The common features of the Saxon villages from Laslea Commune<br />
are listed below:<br />
• they display a remarkable and unspoilt harmony between people and<br />
landscape.<br />
• linear street pattern with subsidiary cross-streets.<br />
• the villages are enclosed by steep valley sides (in Laslea and Roandola,<br />
where the landform is less steep , development follows a looser pattern).<br />
• a stream typically runs down the street and pear trees are planted on<br />
either side.<br />
• the houses have a regular pattern: they end-on to the street , painted in<br />
a rich variety of colors with a typicall hipped roof, bringing unity and diversity<br />
to the villages<br />
• a house unit has the common structure: house-courtyard-barnvegetables<br />
garden - orchard-forest<br />
• the fortified churches<br />
• the dancing circles-(tanzplatze)<br />
• the centuries-old agri<strong>cu</strong>lture methods that survive today<br />
• the daily rituals in the countryside<br />
• village streets and squares are the fo<strong>cu</strong>s of public life<br />
• the use of natural materials like lime mortar and clay roof tiles ,of lime<br />
wash colors<br />

The state of the built heritage:<br />
• the state of the houses:<br />
Some of the houses have changed their decoration styles over the years<br />
(some getting influences from Art Nouveau and Art Deco) but more<br />
recently the changes bring very strong, severe, and unfortunate effects.<br />
Materials like cement-mortars, crazy pavement and pebble dashed<br />
exteriors and Alpine-style windows are seen as signs of modern life.<br />
The locals, Romanians and Rroma mostly, do not appear to appreciate<br />
the appearance of the Saxon houses which are, for them, old, and<br />
unsuitable for modern comfort.<br />
As the knowledge and the craftsmen needed for a proper restoration are<br />
lacking, the one who have money to renovate their houses make appeal<br />
to today’s materials and cheap untrained workers.<br />
• the state of the fortified churches:<br />
The Evangelical Saxon churches are mostly in a bad condition due the<br />
fact that the small Saxon congregation no longer has the means to maintain<br />
them. The remaining Saxons are taking part at services in small improvised<br />
rooms, or in parish houses or small Chapels. This is happening as well<br />
due to the lack of heating in the old Evangelical churches.<br />

In conclusion, if there is no future potential for ecclesiastical use,<br />
alternative uses (community halls, concert halls) should be sought.<br />
To improve the state of the houses or to maintain them on a long-term<br />
development, means to make people understand the value of build heritage<br />
both in <strong>cu</strong>ltural and economical terms and to make local workshops of<br />
crafts where locals should be trained in traditional methods of restoration.<br />

Flora and Fauna<br />
The natural landscape:<br />
The natural landscape of this Saxon Villages proved to be extremely rich<br />
in terms of relief and of biodiversity, encountering here some rare species<br />
of plants and animals.<br />
Very important research work in this field is being done here by The<br />
ADEPT Foundation, a registered charity working to promote the<br />
conservation of Romania’s internationally important natural heritage, to<br />
create local economic incentives for conservation, and to provide<br />
environmental education. Measures will be designed and implemented<br />
with full community participation, to ensure that they are practical, bring<br />
local economic benefits, and enjoy local support. Their aim is to create a<br />
virtuous circle between conservation of the environment and the well-being<br />
of the inhabitants.<br />
In the Saxon villages of Transylvania, low intensity agri<strong>cu</strong>lture coexists<br />
with specta<strong>cu</strong>lar flora and fauna, including many endangered species.<br />
The landscape is threatened by rural poverty, loss of traditional land and<br />
forest management, and lack of awareness at both local and national levels<br />
of the biodiversity value of the area.<br />
Dr John Akeroyd and Owen Mountford of the Centre for Ecology and<br />
Hydrology have made a detailed study of the wild habitats of the Saxon<br />
villages in Transylvania. They have found here three main categories<br />
of habitat:<br />
Native deciduous woodland<br />
Dry Grasslands<br />
Wet Grasslands, marshes, flushes, stream sides<br />

DRY<br />
GRASSLAND<br />
The grasslands, managed as meadows (mown or scythed) or pastures (grazed), probably derive from wood-steppe and fragments of grassland and scrub on steep slopes, river-banks and other naturally open<br />
ground. The drier grasslands contain at least 21 species on the Romanian Red Data List and one species (Red Viper’s-bugloss, Echium russi<strong>cu</strong>m) listed under the EU Habitats Directive.<br />
Note that just a single application of fertilizer would have catastrophic effects on the survival of these remarkable grasslands and their special assemblages of plants and animals.<br />

The natural landscape<br />
Flora and Fauna<br />
All these dry and semi-dry grasslands are colourful from early May onwards, when several orchids – a feature of this habitat -– are in flower, for example Military Orchid, Green-winged Orchid and Threetoothed<br />
Orchid , also Yellow Adonis, Montpellier Milk-vetch, Purple Mullein, Purple Viper’s-grass and the first sages.<br />
By June the grasslands present a superb spectacle. The mix of colours derives from high species diversity, notably the suite of clovers, vetches and other legumes. From a distance the massed<br />
cream heads of Dropwort, loose pink spikes of Sainfoin and blue splashes of Clary are parti<strong>cu</strong>larly distinctive. At closer quarters the pale pink of Squinancywort, the yellow of Lady’s Bedstraw and longstalked<br />
pink-and-bronze heads of Charterhouse Pink, are conspi<strong>cu</strong>ous. Extensive patches are pale yellow with Rhinanthus rumelica.<br />
In late July the grasslands remain colourful, with splashes of blue Creeping Bellflower and Spiked Speedwell, purplish-pink knapweeds and Zigzag Clover, yellow Agrimony and Lady’s Bedstraw, white Wild<br />
Carrot, pale yellow and conspi<strong>cu</strong>ous greenish-cream clumps of the umbellifers Field Eryngo and Longleaf.<br />
On some steeper slopes the clumps or stands of Blackthorn and Privet scrub, with some Wild Pear, supports a sub-Pannonian ‘wood-steppe’ flora, with lusher grassland. The scrub shows evidence of<br />
burning, presumably to clear land for grazing, and Wood Ant nests oc<strong>cu</strong>r here and there. Growing in this community are two roses, French Rose (Rosa gallica) and Small-flowered Sweet-briar (Rosa<br />
micrantha), and occasionally (for example, just south of Cris) the striking and scarce subshrub Burning Bush (Dictamnus albus).<br />
MESIC<br />
GRASSLAND<br />
Some drier grasslands show an increasing influence of human management, with mesic habitat conditions – neither markedly wet nor dry, moderately nutrient-rich (but not excessively fertilised) and neutral to<br />
mildly acid pH. Where such swards were managed by <strong>cu</strong>tting and some aftermath grazing, communities could be ascribed to the order Molinio-Arrhenatheratalia to include permanent mesotrophic pastures<br />
and aftermath-grazed meadows or coarse permanent grassland and tall herbs. These are usually mown but little grazed. Such communities are widespread throughout Europe, and have a generally similar<br />
composition. These sort of grasslands are decreasig around villages, often resown with forage legumes such as alfalfa.<br />
Species include -<br />
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium),Common Bent (Agrostis capillaris),False Oat-grass (Arrhenatherum elatius)Quaking Grass (Briza media),Autumn Cro<strong>cu</strong>s (Colchiu<strong>cu</strong>m officinale),Crown Vetch (Coronilla varia)<br />
Rough Hawk’s-beard (Crepis biennis),Ox-eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare),Crested Dog’s-tail (Cynosurus cristatus),Cock’s-foot (Dactylis glomerata),Wild Carrot (Dau<strong>cu</strong>s carota),Eyebright (Euphrasia<br />
roskoviana),Bird’s-foot Trefoil (Lotus corni<strong>cu</strong>latus) ,Meadow Fes<strong>cu</strong>e (Festuca pratensis),Red Fes<strong>cu</strong>e (Festuca rubra),Dropwort (Filipendula vulgaris),Lady’s Bedstraw (Galium verum),Rough Hawkbit (Leontodon<br />

FINAL PRESENTATION<br />
<strong>Final</strong> Results and Conclusions<br />
Extras from the short <strong>Report</strong> written by Terje Nypan<br />
The final presentation took part in the INTBAU info centre in Laslea and all the four<br />
groups presented their work and conclusions.<br />
Conclusions about Walking:<br />
The footpaths are walkable, there is an absolute need for topographical maps to mark the<br />
paths and in some places physical marking of the paths are necessary. There were not<br />
experienced any great problems with stray dogs or wild animals . The flora contains over 1000<br />
species and over 100 are on the European red list. The walking group saw many animals;<br />
mostly fox and deer. A tour guide must be developed and the material from the workshop can<br />
be used for this. At present, a Romanian-speaking tour guide is recommended. Horse riding<br />
and using horse carts is unproblematic, but the logistics of organisation is at present an obstacle.<br />
Conclusions about Accommodation:<br />
A few guesthouses in the village are functional. The accommodations possibilities in the old<br />
priest houses and other private homes need a serious upgrading. The major problem with<br />
accommodation is the diffi<strong>cu</strong>lty in finding the people who have the key and in booking such<br />
accommodation in advance. Here a major organisational effort must be made. For the moment<br />
we can only recommend that such tours be organised for groups and that they be planned well<br />
in advance. The information office in Laslea has an important role to play in this respect.<br />
Village profiles, <strong>cu</strong>ltural heritage landmarks and events:<br />
An event calendar has been made. The major problem here is that many of the traditional<br />
events are disappearing with the last remaining Saxon inhabitants. This should not pose a<br />
great problem as the new Romanian population are introducing their own festivals, but these<br />
are different.<br />
Village profiles and landmarks can be developed to a higher level of sophistication, if one wishes.<br />
There are two major problems here:<br />
A: The need for maintenance and the falling into disrepair of many of these landmarks<br />
B:The ongoing dilapidation of many of the traditional Saxon houses and their typical element<br />
and the change of village architecture which takes away much of the charm and therefore also<br />
the attraction.<br />
The strong sides are the continued rural life style with cows returning and leaving the villages to<br />
their pastures, the ducks, geese and hens freely wandering in the villages, the large flock of<br />
sheep grassing in the hills and the shepherds following them. And of course the nature and the<br />
landscape itself, with is flora and fauna.<br />

Activities planned for 2005<br />
Extras from the short <strong>Report</strong> written by Terje Nypan<br />
Office and infor<br />
orma<br />
mation centre.<br />
With the special funding from the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest the INTBAU (Ro) information office will be run. A permanent presence has been assured for 1 day pr. Week<br />
through cooperation with village volunteers. Further, the local members of INTBAU (Ro) who are based in Medias will visit the office on a regular basis.<br />
Restoration and training on house 344<br />
An agreement has been made between MET 1 and INTBAU (Ro) to organise a cooperative venture to restore the house 344 in Laslea. This house was planned for demolition by the<br />
Municipality. The order to demolish has now been cancelled. Work on the house has started with do<strong>cu</strong>mentation, under the supervision of Master mason Mr. H. Rumboldt and a<br />
team of English craftsmen. The work on the house will simultaneously function as a training opportunity for local craftsmen.<br />
INTBAU will be responsable for restoring and equipping the interior of the house and to run the centre for five years after completion.<br />
Cobble- stones on the new watering emplacement for livestock<br />
This project, which was to be organised by INTBAU (Ro) and part financed by a special funding by the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest, will be initiated during the summer 2005.<br />
Sundry activities<br />
A test tour for eco-tourism planned for the fall 2005.<br />
INTBAU Ro has been invited to organise a week study seminar in Bran, which will be held first week of august 2005. The seminar is part of a summer university organised in<br />
cooperation with the Bran Museum and the Ministry of Culture. The objective is to study how development inside Bran village and the surrounding countryside can be directed and<br />
managed to assure a more controlled development in Bran. Bran is presently experiencing a growing problem with uncontrolled construction in its surroundings and haphazard<br />
centre development.<br />
Sustainability<br />
By the establishment of the INTBAU office in Laslea a more permanent presence in the municipality has been assured.<br />
The work on House 344 in the centre of Laslea also assures a visible presence and reminder of the need and potential of maintaining the traditional architecture in the village. This<br />
is strengthened by the offices being next door to the Town hall and the close cooperation intended in the cobblestone project.<br />
In cooperation with the Municipality INTBAU will negotiate some specific restoration activities in Laslea during 2005.<br />
