Example of a family trip to Maramures, Bucovina and Transylvania.

This is the brief version of a tailor-made holiday plan we have recently crafted for a family of 6 (grandparents, parents and children) coming to Romania in August for 17 days.

Days 1 to 7, discovering Maramures: collecting hay and piling a haystack, milking sheep at the sheepfold and making cheese, picking berries, hikinh, celebrating Saint Mary in a traditional way, visiting wooden churches and the Merry Cemetery at Sapanta, steam train-ride. Accommodation in a traditional wooden house and for 1 night in a train.

Days 8 to 11, discovering Bucovina: meeting local craftsmen, visiting the painted monasteries and hiking on Rarau mountain

Days 12 to 14: traveling with donkeys on earth roads, children can ride the donkey and adults walk alongside them.

Days 15 to 17: bathing in salt lakes at Sovata, visiting a salt mine and even seeing the wild brown bear.

Detailed information about these activities can be found in the suggested itinerary “Family holidays in Transylvania, Maramures and Bucovina” on our website.
