A Wonderful Trip to MOLDAVIA

by Lisman Razvan

General Information I• The North East Region of Romania, historically known as Moldavia, has great

potential as a European tourism center.• Isolated from Western Europe by the impressive Carpathian mountain range, much

of the region remains unexplored and unknown to western tourists.• While the western counties of Suceava, Neamt and Bacau are better known for

their mountains and monasteries, the eastern counties of Botosani, Iasi and Vaslui are also full of villages, ancient churches and interesting locations worth visiting.

• One of the main attractions of this region are the people, who are considered to be the friendliest and most hospitable in Romania – and are the most active in keeping the ancient traditions alive.

• The west of the region is covered with alpine forests and is rich in flora and fauna.• A variety of mountain sports can be enjoyed in the region: rafting, mountain

climbing, hiking, mountain biking and horse-riding.
