Herina / Mönchsdorf / Harina

A visit to Herina with its population of 500 and the Romanesque pillar basilica with three naves should be on every travel intinerary when in the region of Northern Transylvania. The Evangelic Lutheran church has two western towers and a western gallery and was built in the beginning of the 13th century and renovated only a few years ago. It stands solitary on a small hill slope and is a popular photo motive due to its situation and architecture.

The beautiful region of “Năsăud County“ became historically significant thanks to its favorable geographic situation, the great condition of the soil, its lush forests and its abundance in natural mineral deposits and was always a highly desired terrain. Traces of the merchants and guilds who settled here are still visible today. Visitors will find a number of touristic attractions in the area: especially recommended are trips to the numerous National Parks in the region and the participation in the very intensively and frequently celebrated traditional festivals where guests are always welcome.
