Sat din județul Sibiu părăsit, readus la viață de o mână de oameni: doar 20 de români, englezi și sași locuiesc aici

The Transylvanian village of Gherdeal, once considered a ghost town, is now revitalized by new residents from Germany, England, and Romania. Originally founded by Saxon settlers, Gherdeal faced significant depopulation after World War II. Today, fewer than 20 people live there, but families are restoring old houses and traditions. The village, known for its fortified churches, offers a peaceful lifestyle away from urban chaos. Local and international initiatives are helping to breathe new life into Gherdeal, attracting those seeking authenticity. Although the population remains small, the village is no longer a ghost town, as it gradually regains its former charm.
