Monasteries
 
Bârzane monastory
 
    Religion is important to Rumanians. Prove of that is all over the country where monasteries and churches are. Both from ages ago and new built. This while in the Netherlands these buildings are changed to apartments or even discothèques. Specially in Moldavia you will see them at a row displayed. 
      A beautiful road to get there is the N12 from Brasov to Gheorheni and then to Piatra Neamt. Coming from Burarest the detour through the Buzau valley is worth while. 
      To see the the monastery Siucevita you will have to take the N17A most north in Moldavia. A trip to the ancient university city Iasi is certainly a must. The area is very poor, but also has a charm. Near the Suicevita monastery is a good Swiss hotel. 
      The trip in this area, in the middle of the Carpathian mountains is nice, special to take some time to see the little villages and meet some locals.
