Bucovina has received the most exquisite gifts, ranging from its rich history, legends, and culture, to its breathtaking landscapes and its welcoming people.
Bucovina beckons everyone, from history buffs to culture enthusiasts, those who appreciate fine cuisine, and those who seek solace amidst nature’s embrace. While there are indeed many other places in Romania that boast these attributes, Bucovina possesses its own unique treasures – its world-renowned monasteries and churches. Additionally, its name, Bucovina, derived from Austrian influence, specifically “Buchenland” in German, meaning “Land of Beech Trees,” adds a distinctive touch to the local Moldavian character.
Bucovina nestles itself deep within your soul, offering a visit to this corner of Romania as a source of tranquility, refreshment of the spirit and forging a connection with the divine. For those with an observant eye and a receptive ear, each fresco adorning the ancient churches tells a sacred or historical tale. These paintings on the Moldavian churches were created during a time when very few could read and write, making the Bible accessible to all through vivid illustrations. The interior and, surprisingly, the exterior walls of the monasteries and churches in northern Moldavia bear witness to this profound legacy.
