Sighetu Marmației

It is a country of great natural beauty and diversity, and has a rich cultural heritage, including a variety of ethnic, linguistic, and confessional groups. Romania enchants visitors with its scenic mountain landscapes and unspoilt rural areas, but also with its historic cities and busy capital. Over the last decade, it has witnessed a significant development,  fueled by its recent membership of the European Union. Romania will definitely surprise some of its visitors who are more used to western Europe. It has a listed total of six cultural and one natural UNESCO world heritage sites. Romania is a large country which can sometimes be shocking with contrasts: some cities are truly modern, while some villages can seem to have been brought back from the past. While it has significant cultural similarities with other Balkan states, it is regarded as unique due to its strong Latin heritage, reflected in every part of Romanian society from its culture to its language. Things for which Romania is famous include: the Carpathian mountains, wine, medieval fortresses, Dacia cars, Dracula, stuffed cabbage leaves (sarmale), the Black Sea, sunflower fields, painted monasteries and the Danube Delta.

Romania

Maramureș is situated in northern Romania, and shares a border with Ukraine. And most importantly, it is one of Europe’s best kept secrets: a place where time stood still and where traditions, wooden art and human kindness seems to be miraculously well preserved. Located close to the Ukrainian border, Maramures covers more than 3000 km2 of deep valleys, beautiful villages, steep hills and impressive mountains (up to 2303 m high). There you can find over 100 wooden churches (among which 8 are on the UNESCO list), over 60 typical villages and towns, a UNESCO protected natural reserve… and the only narrow gauge industrial steam train still in activity in Europe. Notable visits include: the cities of Baia Mare and Sighetu Marmației; the villages off the Iza, Mara and Vișeu Valleys, the wooden churches of Maramureș, Lăpuș and Chioar, the Merry Cemetery of Săpânța and the Barsana Monastery.
