ADEPT has been working for the last 14 years to protect the nature-rich, farmed landscapes of Transylvania and to support the traditional farming communities who have created them over centuries and who maintain them today.

The Michael Schmidt Foundation is a non-profit association, founded in 2010 by Michael Schmidt, owner of the Automobile Bavaria Group, which aims to contribute to the preservation and promotion of Saxon culture in Transylvania.
Another priority area of the Michael Schmidt Foundation is the development of educational projects to promote the German language in Romania.
In addition, cultural and humanitarian projects are also part of the foundation's priorities, so over the years we have carried out dozens of such projects, which you can read more about here.
Moreover, we are proud to be co-founders, together with other associations in the area, of the Haferland Week festival, whose main goal is to promote the Saxon culture in Transylvania among tourists from home and abroad. Held annually in August, the festival attracts thousands of participants every year and all donations from the event are donated to development projects in the area.
Charge yourself with the energy of rivers and wild forests, admire enchanting landscapes and the spectacle of nature. Activate on one of the marked hiking trails in the Carpathian mountains or in the Transylvanian Highlands.
