Holidays in NEAMȚ

Wherever you come from, Traveller, you are invited to visit this blessed land of Neamt where you can have experiences unknown so far. You can rise to the heights of the Holy Mount Ceahlău, or rule for a moment over the land stretching at your feet far to the horizon and recharge with the force and spell contained in each and every rock.

You can also listen to the murmur of the rapids carrying the legends of the Bistrita River through mountains and hills, down to the plains. Furthermore, you can knock on the gates of the Neamt Fortress for the descendants of Stefan’s border guards to open or find out the secrets of history carved in the memory of the earth, of documents, and of the locals. In addition, you can find your peace in the monasteries and churches shrouded in the aura of faith and the ringing of bells and you can sit around the table with us and treat yourself with Moldavian dishes we have prepared for you, or drink a carafe of wine and spin stories by the fireside.

Whatever the number of places you have been to and people you have met, if you stay for a while in the Neamț area, you will see it was worth the effort.

Piatra Neamț – Bălțătești – Târgu Neamț

After stopping in the town guarded by the solitary silhouette of Mount Pietricica, Piatra Neamt, and seeing all those things, places and people that delight your eyes, traveller, you set out to Târgu Neamt, on a winding road, through hills and valleys, from which you turn away, onto the left and right, to enter monastic settlements, to discover pools well hidden in the woods, to walk into Moldavian houses and folk art museums and to admire their treasures. At the end of the road, there is Ozana the beautifully flowing river waiting for you to murmur stories of old and new.
