Muzeul Satului Vâlcean Bujoreni

The Vâlcea Village Museum at Bujoreni, near Râmnicu Vâlcea, is an open-air museum that recreates the atmosphere of a traditional village in the sub-Carpathian region of Oltenia. Across a broad site, peasant farmsteads, a small wooden church, an old school, an inn, a town hall and numerous folk technical installations such as mills and presses have been reconstructed, all brought from Vâlcea villages and carefully assembled to preserve their authenticity. Visitors stroll among the shingle-roofed houses, admiring the carved gates, the traditionally furnished interiors and the everyday objects that illustrate life in times past.

The museum often hosts events and craft demonstrations, offering a living experience of rural culture. The natural setting, with hills and orchards all around, adds to the charm of the place. Located near the town and the road to Cozia Monastery, the museum is an ideal destination for families and for anyone interested in the traditions and folk architecture of Oltenia.

Transalpina (Pasul Urdele)Mountain

Transalpina (Pasul Urdele)

The Transalpina is the highest road in Romania, a spectacular route that crosses the Parâng massif of the Southern Carpathians, linking Oltenia to Transylvania over alpine ridges. The Urdele Pass, the highest point of the road, sits at over 2100 metres, offering broad views over the bare summits, the deep valleys and the alpine meadows that stretch as far as the eye can see. The road, with historical origins lost in antiquity and modernised in recent times, climbs in switchbacks above the tree line, through a wild, bare landscape often swept by wind and shrouded in mist. Flocks of sheep graze on either side of the highway, and in the warm season the slopes are covered with flowers. Because of the altitude, the road is passable only in the warm months, being closed in winter due to heavy snow. The route is prized by motorcyclists, cyclists and lovers of mountain scenery, offering one of the most memorable driving experiences in the country, with many stops for photographs.

Mănăstirea Dintr-un LemnMonastery

Mănăstirea Dintr-un Lemn

The Monastery from a Single Tree is located in Valcea county, near the town of Ramnicu Valcea, in a quiet natural setting surrounded by forests. The unusual name of the monastery comes from a legend according to which the first church here was carved from a single old oak, on the spot where a monk is said to have found an icon of the Mother of God. The old wooden church, preserved to this day, is one of the most valuable buildings of its kind in Oltenia. Beside it rises a larger masonry church, founded in the seventeenth century, adorned with paintings and precious liturgical objects. The monastic complex, with its cells and old walls, conveys an atmosphere of contemplation and continuity. Set not far from other renowned monasteries of Valcea, the Monastery from a Single Tree is a precious stop on the pilgrimage route of northern Oltenia, in a landscape of wooded hills.

Mănăstirea TurnuMonastery

Mănăstirea Turnu

Turnu Monastery lies in Valcea county, near Ramnicu Valcea and the Cozia resort, at the foot of the Cozia Mountains, in a particularly beautiful landscape on the bank of the Olt river. The settlement has old origins, linked to the hermits who withdrew into the caves and cells carved into the mountain rock for a life of prayer and asceticism. The name of the monastery comes from the old ruins of a Roman tower nearby, a testimony to the ancient presence in the area. The church and the monastery buildings rise in an isolated natural setting, surrounded by forests and the cliffs of the Cozia massif. Visitors can climb paths towards the old rock-hewn cells, in an excursion both spiritual and into nature. Set close to Cozia Monastery and the Olt valley, Turnu Monastery is a quiet and picturesque stop for pilgrims and for those crossing the gorge between the mountains.
