Notes on accommodation
The house is heated by a wood fired traditional, fully functional tiled stoves in the apartments. By a wide range of small and carefully placed lights and lamps we have secured the right lighting for every atmosphere and naturally we also provide candlesticks and oil lamps.
Outside
The enclosed yard of the Herberge Tausch is a tranquil haven of peace and quiet. It is – as all Saxon yards are – completely private with a large iron gate towards the street and you can relax under a very large roofed terrace, that also boasts a large grill. The rest of the yard is an inviting lawn, on which you may relax and sunbathe in some of the many chairs and sun lounges we provide. Over the past few years we have also been able to breed some very nice traditional rose stocks along the sidewalk of the yard.
Special interest holidays
We also offer a wide range of special recreational activities: our well educated riding horse offers beginners and experienced horseman alike an excellent means of exploring the beautiful fields, valleys, forests and hills on a horseback! Should you be interested in traditional crafts, our master carpenter, blacksmith or weavers would love to welcome you in their workshops and for those interested in painting/sketching, the German artist Theobald Fuchs is offering art classes.
Distances
Cund is an ideal base for exploring the many attractive old towns and cities in Transylvania. Within a radius of 100km you can visit the old Saxon towns of Sibiu (European Cultural Capital 2007), Sighisoara, Medias, Brasov, Bistritza, Agnita, Foggerasch, Regin and Tirgu Mures.
Further details
The tiny village Cund in Transylvania is located in the centre of the Carpathian Mountains close to the the mediaeval town of Sigisoara, the alleged birthplace of the legendary Count Dracula.
The village is still strongly influenced by the traditions and customs of the Saxon community that populated this area for the last 750 years.
Authentic and cordial family traditions and customs characterise the simple life of the local population of which most are self sufficient farmers who warmly welcome visitors.
The overwhelming beauty and peaceful tranquillity of the natural surroundings allow room for consideration - without any distracting influences - and are the perfect setting for a holiday where you can relax all your senses. As soon as you leave the village you will find many tracks and open land you may freely walk on four hours without meeting a single person.
