The experience
About this quest
Walk beside the Wandering Witch through Brașov’s old quarter, where knowledge, faith, and fear once crossed paths. From the first Romanian school to the Council Square, you’ll trace stories of charms, suspicion, and courage. Each stop reveals how belief shaped lives—protecting some, condemning others. Blending folklore and history, this journey uncovers what lingers between devotion and doubt, and how the echoes of judgment still whisper through the streets.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Folklore lovers, couples and families with school-age children curious about charms and witch suspicion in old Transylvania will enjoy this. In a little over 1.5 hours you walk 3.7 km from the First Romanian School past Catherine Gate and the Black Church to Council Square, solving puzzles along the way. Pick another quest if a tale of suspicion and judgment feels too dark for your children, or 3.7 km is too far.
