In northern Romania, at the Ukrainian border, lies the county of Maramures. Here, amidst mountains, hills and depressions are one of the most interesting tourism objects in the country, yet very well kept. Here, people lead their lives as authentically and peacefully as in the old times.

Maramureşul nu este doar un punct de atracţie turistică: el este mai ales un simbol de tradiţie autentică românească şi continuitate. Maramureşul este unul dintre puţinele locuri din România unde tradiţiile sunt încă păstrate şi respectate, aşa cum au fost cu sute de ani în urmă.

Maramures is not only a tourist attraction: it’s the very symbol of Romanian tradition and continuity. Maramures is one of the few places in Romania where traditions are still kept and respected, as they were hundreds of years ago.

Arranged in a former peasant, at the bottom of the hill on which is the oldest wooden church (UNESCO monument) of Maramures, the Ethnographic Museum of Pleş family includes a collection of folk costumes, objects and tools specific to this area.
