You Won't Believe This Romanian Mountain Village Exists - Life in a Winter Fairytale!

Just 20 kilometers from Vatra Dornei lies Ciocănești, a unique gem in Bucovina that feels like stepping into an open-air museum. Known as the "community of carved houses," this village features over 600 homes adorned with intricate traditional motifs, turning its streets into a vibrant tapestry of Romanian folk art.

The tradition began in 1950 when Leontina, a young bride, decided to decorate her new home. A local painter drew inspiration from the patterns found on Easter eggs and traditional costumes, creating a design that quickly inspired the entire village. Today, these houses are painted in beautiful reds, blacks, greens, and yellows, preserving a cultural heritage unique in Romania and the world.

In 2004, Ciocănești earned the title of Museum-Community, and in 2017 it was named one of Europe’s most colorful tourist destinations. Its charm is complemented by the serene beauty of Bucovina’s landscapes, with rolling hills, snow-draped fields, and traditional rural life creating a storybook setting.

Whether you’re exploring the famous Țăran House Museum, savoring the local traditions, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere, Ciocănești offers a glimpse into a culture rich in history and beauty. A visit here is a journey into the heart of Bucovina’s timeless charm.

Bellísimo video pero es una gran lástima el destato que se le da a los animales ya que no tienen su lugar para protegerse de tanto frío.
