Tours

Maramures is one of the last culture islands of Romanian traditions. The kindness of its inhabitants and gorgeous landscapes wait to be uncovered by visitors.
This part of North Romania, placed between Hungary, Ukraine and the Carpathian Mountains is a real living museum of faith, traditions and welcoming spirit.

Due to its extended forested area, which allowed the building of wooden churches, but also wooden houses, covered with shingles, the Maramures deserves the surname “WOODLAND”. Carved oak-tree gates are symbols of family’s richness, but also the guardians of the family against bad spirits.

On Sunday morning, but also on holidays, all the community meets at the local church for the holy service. It’s the moment to forget the hard life during weekdays, but also a way of socialising. After the holy service, local people walk in the main street, proud to wear their traditional costumes; they discuss price of crops, they arrange weddings… You will remember this scene for years.
We propose you a memorable Maramures tour, for helping you discover and understand the Maramures spirit of life.
