Maramures, Painted Monasteries & Muddy Volcanoes | TRAVEL Romania

Join us on our travel adventures around Europe! We finish up our time in Romania with some major highlights of the Maramures region, the Painted Monasteries of Bucovina, and the unique Muddy Volcanoes National Park!

One of our first stops in the Maramures region was to the beautiful Merry Cemetery, located in Săpânța in northern Romania. Merry Cemetery is famous for its brightly coloured tombstones and has been listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Romania.

We head over to the region of Bucovina to visit several of the historic painted monasteries. On this trip we visited the painted monasteries of Sucevita, Humor, and Voronet.

We finish our time with a visit to the unique Muddy Volcanoes National Park where we hiked among the several mud volcanoes popular in Romania!

Fantastic video, you guys do such a good job. I was so happy to see that they've finished the frescos in the church at the Merry Cemetery. When we were there in 2019, they were just beginning the painstaking painting. They did it exactly the same way they did it 1600 years ago with the same materials. They started with a mixture of plaster and hemp, and the painting is all done while the plaster is wet and the color is mixed in with the plaster. There was a master there who designs it all and several apprentices. If the plaster dries too fast, they have wipe it and start over. I wish it would let me post a photo so you could see how it looked just three years ago.

I suspect the man you met in Breb was Vasile Oanea. He is the official photographer of the village and the keeper of all the records. We went into his house, and he had piles and piles of photos and notebooks with everything that happened on a certain day. It was amazing. Our guide, who took us around the region for three days, has promised to take care of all his treasures for him when he passes on.
