Der Cache liegt in einer großen Obstplantage, die an einem Hang liegt. Von dem Kamm des Berges kann man das kleine siebenbürgische Dorf Malmkrog fantastisch überblicken.
In einem Teilungsvertrag zwischen verschiedenen Mitgliedern der Adelsfamilie Apafi wird Malmkrog 1305 mit den Nachbardörfern Neudorf und Peschendorf erstmal urkundlich erwähnt.
Heute leben in Malmkrog 1500 Rumänen, Zigeuner, Sachsen und Ungarn.
Im Pfarrhaus Nummer 86 (N 46° 06.619 E024° 38.885) könnt ihr gerne um eine Kirchenführung bitten, um die schöne Malmkroger Kirchenburg zu besichtigen.
Familie Lorenz spricht auch Deutsch.
Die Evangelische Kirche Malmkrog ist in der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts als katholische Patronatskirche des Adelsgeschlechts der Apafi erbaut worden.
Die Fresken im Innern der Kirche gelten als die bedeutendsten mittelalterlichen Wandmalereien abendländischen Charakters in Rumänien.
Auch der Flügelaltar von 1495 ist der älteste originale Altar in Siebenbürgen. Der Maler des Altars ist unbekannt.

The Cache is published in a big plantation at the slope.
From the top of the hill you can see the little transilvanian village Malmkrog.
In a sharing agreement between various members of the noble family Apafi Malmkrog is mentioned in 1305. In Malmkrog lives 1050 Romanians, Gypsies, Hungarians and Saxons today.
In the House number 86 (N 46° 06.619 E024° 38.885) you can find the key for the wonderful church and castle of Malmkrog.
Both families can speak English.
The Romanesque church was built as a catholic church dedicated to St Mary in the 14th century. After the Reformation in 1550 it became a Protestant church but was still used as a church of pilgrimage up to the 17th century.
The winged altar originating from about 1495 is the oldest altar still in its original location in Transylvania. The painter is unknown and scholars believe that the pieces on the panels of the closed altar might have been painted by one of his pupils.

Cache-ul este asezat pe dealul pe care se afla plantatia de mere de pe varful dealulului se vede micul sat Sasesc Malancrav.
Prima atestare documentara a satului Malâncrav dateaza din anul 1305. Inca de la început acest sat apare ca un sat de clacasi, care se afla în proprietatea familiei Apafy.
In prezent numara comunitatea evanghelica 150 de oameni. Cu toate acestea in Malâncrav s-au pastrat câteva din vechile traditii sasesti.
La casa cu numarul 140 (N 46° 06.617 E024° 38.916) si la casa parohiasca cu numarul 86 (N 46° 06.619 E024° 38.885) se gaseste Keia pentru biserica saseasca, de la Malancrav.
Biserica evanghelica din Malâncrav a fost ridicata în a doua jumatate a secolului 14-lea ca biserica de patronat a nobililor Apafi, care au stapânit satul Malâncrav pâna la sfârsitul secolului al 17-lea.
Faima bisericii consta în picturile de fresca din interior, care constituie cel mai important ansamblu de picturi murale medievale cu caracter apusean din România.
De la un maestru necunoscut de pe sfârsitul secolului al 15-lea provine altarul triptic.
