What to see and where to go in Maramureș
Nestled in the northernmost part of Romania, Maramureș is a land where time seems to stand still, offering a rare glimpse into a way of life that has remained largely untouched for centuries. Known for its picturesque landscapes, traditional wooden architecture, and vibrant cultural traditions, this region is the heart of Romanian rural heritage.
Maramureș is home to UNESCO-listed wooden churches, elaborately carved gates, and villages where ancient crafts, such as weaving and woodworking, are still practiced. Life here moves to the rhythm of the seasons, and locals maintain customs passed down through generations. From the peaceful village life in Breb, to the colorful and witty Merry Cemetery in Săpânța, to the breathtaking natural beauty of the Carpathian Mountains, Maramureș is a destination where history, culture, and nature come together.
