Bucovina - The land of Extreme Sports

The narrow-gauge railway from Moldovita was built in 1888. Currently, the line is 12 km long.

Bucovina's rich folk traditions have been nurtured from many sources, some of which are thousands of years old. Traditional folk arts include wood carving, ceramics, weaving, and embroidery of costumes, household decorations, dance, and richly varied folk music.

Traditional food is delicious and is made with simple, natural ingredients - mămăligă (corn polenta) served with fresh cheese and cream, sarmale (cabbage or vine leaves stuffed with meat and rice), jellied meat, sheep-milk cheese, fresh yogurt, eggs, and produce, sausages and salami made at home.The food can seem heavy, but it’s washed down nicely with a glass of ţuica (plum brandy). Cheers!
