Maramures 2 days village break, from Cluj

First stop of the day will be for the visit of Surdesti wooden church, the first UNESCO heritage site you will visit. Built at the beginning of the 18th century, it still stands as one of the tallest wooden churches of Maramures.

Visit the memorial house of Elie Wiesel. Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Holocaust survivor and author of the novel Night, Wiesel was born in this small town in 1928. His work and life continue to inspire global conversations about the importance of standing against hatred and discrimination. Lunch in a restaurant.

It is located in a former prison which was used by the communist regime to detain political prisoners, intellectuals, clergy and others seen as threats to the regime.

Visit the Merry Cemetery, a spectacularly colourful resting place. The crosses feature naïve art depicting scenes from the deceased's life, sometimes including even ironic illustrations.

Visit some local craftsmen (not available on Sundays or other major religious events), discover it's connection with King Charles III of Great Britain and have a chat with the local people, always curious to find out where you are coming from :)

Here you will discover the best preserved interior painting of all the wooden churches of Maramures.

Lunch in a local restaurant.

Get back to Cluj. End of the tour.
