The Zosim Oancea Museum of Icons on Glass

In the afternoon, we will take a short excursion from Sibiu to visit two villages that seem to be stuck in time: Sibiel and Fântânele. Here, the population lives from what it produces locally and horse-drawn carriages are a daily occurrence. You'll taste a local made schnapps (țuică) and then visit the glass paintings museum in Sibiel. In the afternoon, you'll head back to Cluj-Napoca.
