While we were traveling through Transylvania, I saw many traditional Transylvanian gates in front of houses.
These gates are made of wood and are carved beautifully.
This morning I walked on the street of our hotel in Székelyudvarhely and took pictures of several of these gates.
Here is one of the biggest:
On the top, this sentence in Hungarian is carved across:
- Traveler, if you are tired on the road of life, enter through this gate with trust - If your intentions are good, you will be welcome.
And above the small door, another inscription says:
- Made with God's help by Istvan Sandor and his wife Magdolna Miklos. 1991
And here is a more modest one, with the inscription: Wine - Wheat - Peace!
While walking to photograph these gates, I saw this guy:
You don't need a lawn-mower if you have a scythe!
This other one was made in 1856:
Just near our hotel Boróka Panzió, there are two of these gates.
