Săptămâna altfel - school trip to Sibiu

The 'săptămâna altfel' is an excellent opportunity for doing school trips.
Today I went to Sibiu with the 6th and the 10th grade.
Starting in Cluj-Napoca, we drive about 160km to the South. There we find a city, which is called Hermannstadt or in Romanian Sibiu.

The bus driver parks the bus, just outside the authentic medieval wall of Sibiu. From there, we go by feet to the Piaţa Mare (The Big Square).
Once we're inside the city centre, I forget I'm in Romania. All the buildings are renovated and it feels like we're in a wealthy city from the middle Ages.
For the first time, I see many tourists from outside Romania, especially people that speaks German.

After the Piaţa Mare, we visit the Bruckenthal museum. It's a museum that takes us through time. From the very beginning, when we were troglodytes, over the first civilizations to the wars from the New Time.

Some sunbathing sessions and group-pictures later, we go to the Clock tower. This tower is situated between the Piaţa Mare and the Piaţa Mică (Small Square). On the top, we have a great view over Sibiu and the surrounding area.

Afterwards, we ate an ice-cream and we went back to the bus.
In the afternoon, we've visited the zoo of Sibiu and the Astra-museum. The museum was outside and contained buildings of medieval villages.
