With its mix of history, culture, and nature, Bucovina has something for everyone.

      Set in a beautiful landscape, near the mountains and surrounded by hills covered by thick forests, Bucovina region has kept its traditions. It’s a place where you’ll admire beautiful old houses built in the traditional way or different wells protected by intricate carved wooden shelters. Please let me know what you want to experience on this tour. These locations are very far and we need time to drive there, so we must discuss the order.

        Start your tour in Ciocanesti, a picturesque village located in the heart of the Bucovina region. Stroll through the village and admire the unique and colorful painted houses, which are a hallmark of this area. Stop by the local museum, which showcases traditional Bucovina clothing and other artifacts. In the evening, enjoy a traditional dinner of sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) and mici (grilled minced meat rolls) at one of the local restaurants.

          After breakfast, head to Vatra Dornei, a charming spa town located in the Carpathian Mountains. Take a cable car up to the top of the mountain and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. In the afternoon, visit the town’s historic wooden church, which dates back to the 17th century. 

          Hutulca Mocanita is a narrow-gauge steam train that runs through the scenic countryside of Bucovina. It is a unique and unforgettable experience that offers a glimpse into the past and a chance to explore the beauty of the Romanian country.

          A tour of the Cacica Salt Mine is a unique and educational experience that offers insight into the history and significance of salt mining in Romania. It’s an excellent activity for people of all ages and interests.
