DATA COLLECTION Dumbraveni and Saros points of interest group travel in time The town of Dumbraveni. This apparently common town prides on its large Armenian Roman-Catholic church from the 18th century. Built at a time when the town was the home of a thriving community of Armenian merchants, this church still attracts large crowds for a yearly religious pilgrimage consecrated to the Assumption of the Virgin (August 15). Furthermore, just across the street there is a former Apaffy castle, which was partly destroyed and converted after WWII into a local school. If this is at least partly restored on the outside and if the centre of Dumbraveni is taken care of, we think an itinerary connecting this castle to the other Apaffy property in Malancrav and the Apaffy castle near Blaj, as well as the Bethlen Castles in Cris, Sanmiclaus and Cetatea de Balta might prove interesting for a more in-depth presentation of the history and multi<strong>cu</strong>ltural background of the area. The village of Biertan. This former seat of the bishop of the Saxons (16th to 19th centuries) with its massive hall-church surrounded by three fortified walls has also become a leading tourist attraction of the area in the last years. A restaurant and several guesthouses, some of which are operated by the MET, have opened in the last years. Furthermore, a craft shop which sells good quality artefacts operates now in the main square. The villages of Cris, Valchid, Copsa Mare, Richis, Bratei, which all have fortified churches are becoming more and more interesting for hikers and nature lovers. The town of Sighisoara. It is a municipality with over 30,000 inhabitants and important social and economic functions. Above all, in the recent years it has developed as a major tourist attraction. The presence of a fortified town with evangelical churches, mediaeval streets, towers and bastions listed as an UNESCO heritage site has been attracting increasing numbers of tourists. Consequently, the economy of Sighisoara has developed a lot, with many new hotels, guesthouses and restaurants. The town of Medias. Just like Sighisoara, a municipality with over 30,000 inhabitants. Its economic and industrial functions seem more important than those of Sighisoara, while it gets definitely less tourists. The fortified town is no longer intact, but the impressive Church of St Margaret or the Castle, as the locals call it, is still a landmark of the area. Biertan In the surroundings of all these towns and villages and in between them, one can find several dozens of species of rare flowers along the pastures and haymeadows. The terraced hills provide interesting points of view over the surroundings and integrate into the general <strong>cu</strong>ltural landscape of the Saxon villages. One can also spot, at day or at night, various kinds of birds and animals such as foxes, rabbits, deer, bore, lynxes or hawks, falcons and plenty of storks which nest on the chimneys and roofs of the houses and churches or on the upper part of lampposts. 14
