About

We warmly welcome you to Székelyderzs, where history lives hand in hand with village life, at the foot of the over 800-year-old fortified church, recognized as both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Hungarikum, within the Szekler-Hungarian community.

We offer full-day programs for visiting groups, including a guided tour of the fortified church – with the option of tasting the bacon kept traditionally in the bastion. 

Activities may include:
· Take a scenic ride by tractor or jeep along a 22-kilometer-long historical route, passing by the old Hungarian border and the Árpád Stone.
· Experience authentic local food and join in some traditional folk singing (especially after sunset)
· Learn the traditional songs and dances of the village with the Derzsi Zenekarocska (Little Folk Band of Derzs)
· Horseback riding and guided tours on horseback are available.
· Rent and try out electric bikes, mountain bikes, scooters, or off-road buggies – available for both children and adults via ebike4u.ro.
· Take part in a cultural experience that includes a folk art and a costume presentation, along with the opportunity to learn traditional handicrafts. 
· Learn about medicinal herbs and traditional fruit growing, while children enjoy classic folk games. 
· Visit a traditional "esztena" – a seasonal sheepfold high in the hills.

You are also welcome to stay for multiple days in local guesthouses (e.g. orbanpanzio.ro) or hostels, enjoying a peaceful rest or taking day trips across the Szekler and the Saxon regions.
