What You’ll Experience

1

Old Orhei

During this tour we will have a short hike in Old Orhei, a cultural, historical and archaeological complex situated in a rocky gorge of the Raut River. This valley, shaped by the tireless river with a pristine natural landscape, features huge limestone outcroppings, which hide several ancient monuments. Most interesting of all is the haunting cave monastery, carved into limestone rock by monks in the XIII century. We will enter it and explore the small chapel and little nooks where monks used to live. From the narrow ledge outside the cave monastery, you will unveil a spectacular view, overlooking the river and the entire plains.
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free

Butuceni

After lightning some candles in the chapel, we will visit a local farmhouse in Butuceni village. Ferma Veche is the perfect place where you can experience lots of countryside activities like relaxing walks through the white lavender bushes, feeding the animals, carpet weaving, traditional bread cooking lessons, harvesting seasonal fruits and vegetables or just playing with the happy donkeys.
