Prejmer

After leaving the canyon, we drove 30 minutes north to Prejmer.


Prejmer has a fortified church. It has the thickest walls in all of Transylvania. It was originally constructed in the 1200s by Teutonic knights. Today, it's a Unesco World Heritage Site. Admission is 15 lei ($3.54).


The wall is 4.5 meters thick and has small openings.


Inside the wall, there are 270 rooms.




The church is pretty spartan.


The organ is not large.




You can explore the wall.


The window covers were double sided. You can load one side, launch it while loading the other side.


Prejmer is a small town and there weren't a lot of options for lunch. Just outside the church, there was a food stand.


Kurtos--small for 5 lei ($1.18). The dough had a hint of citrus and the outside was caramelized. It was so good.


The dough is wrapped around a tube and grilled until golden. 


Langos--6 lei ($1.41). This is fried dough with a layer of sour cream and sprinkled cheese. It was okay and would have been better if the cheese was melted.
