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.
