Rășinari (German: Städterdorf; Hungarian: Resinár) is a commune in Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania.
From 1947, Rășinari was linked to Sibiu by an electric tram line which crossed Dumbrava Forest, but service became sporadic in the late 2000s and ceased entirely on 28 February 2011.
[3] Very limited operation that took place later – mainly only for visiting tourist groups – ended in 2012,[4] followed in 2013 by the start of work to dismantle the line.
[4] Officials in Răşinari are attempting to obtain funding to build a small depot (carhouse) and to reopen a portion of the line as a tourist attraction.
This caused the village to miss out on the opportunity to apply for European Union funds for Roma integration.
