Navigare GPS romaneasca

Daca un englez pune la navigator limba de afisare si aduio pe „Romana”, se prea poate sa iasa asa ceva:

.The Dragomirna Monastery was built during the first three decades of the 17th century, 15 km from Suceava, in Mitocu Dragomirnei commune, Romania.It is the tallest medieval monastery in northern Moldavia and renowned in Orthodox architecture for its unique proportions and intricate details, mostly carved into stone.We visited today and my favorite shot here was the long paved entry alley.Hint: if you bring a drone, you can get amazing symmetrical shots from above.

.Lady’s Rocks, also called the Gothic towers,

.Lady’s Rocks, also called the Gothic towers, consisting of three towers, about 70 meters high, the highest being 1,634 meters altitude, are located within a small distance from Rarau Chalet.The Natural Reserve Pietrele Doamnei was declared a protected area in 2000. Here you can also find plants like edelweiss or Venus’s slipper, plants protected by law.Rocks are made of Mesozoic limestone and are surrounded by a carpeting of chaotic blocks. Alpinists can easily climb one of the rocks without any professional equipment.The name of these rocks is linked to a couple of legends. The most famous legend says that the name of the stones is linked to the lady Helen, wife of Moldovan ruler Petru Rares, who gave the name ‘Rarău’ to the mountains here. They say that in the stormy periods in history, in 1541, during the second reign of Petru Rares, he has found a spot in Rarău Mountains to provide shelter for his family and fortune. Chased by the Tatars, Helen and her son Stefanita found shelter in a cave where they began to pray for their lives.Legend has it that pieces of rocks came off and fell over the treasure of Rares, burying both the attackers and the fortune. Locals say the treasure of Rares is still buried under the huge rocks.

.As one starts on the road from Campulung or from Vatra Dornei towards Maramures on the other side of the Eastern Carpathians, the route takes you in both cases through the village of Ciocanesti. It is a village of about 600 houses, all together forming a genuine outdoor museum. The walls of each of them wears traditional motifs of the kind that we find on painted eggs in an array of shapes and colors behind which lies a relatively recent tradition whose story we are about to tell in what follows.The name of Ciocanesti comes from the main activity of the inhabitants for centuries on end, which is to beat (hammer) iron. As a matter of fact, many localities carry in their name such clues to ancient occupations of their inhabitants (eg. Baclesti – wood carving, village carpenters). But Ciocanesti would have been only a stopover on the route of those continuing their journey to the country of Maramures if, in the 50’s of last century, a housewife hadn’t had an artistic vision that was to kick-start an aesthetic transformation of the village that continues today.It all started with the clever idea of Leontina Taran, a housewife from the village Ciocanest. Willing to adorn her house, she considered removing some models from her traditional clothes and applying them on the walls by help of the villager painter by the name of Dumitru Tomoioaga. That happened in 1950, and soon Leontina’s house was declared a museum drawing a lot of attention. Other villagers, seeing the success Leontina Taran enjoyed, were quick in mimicking her and they too began to decorate their homes similarly. In time, the local authorities would coordinate all these artworks, financing all the paintings. Locals say that though every popular motif displayed on their homes reflect their personality.The houses thus resemble traditional Romanian embroidered peasant blouses, embellished with motifs drawn mostly in red, green, black and yellow. Even the church in the village has its exterior walls decorated with floral motifs. The village has become a pearl of the region of Bukovina, well placed in string of beauties which attract thousands of tourists every season.
