Vadu Izei | A journey back in time: Maramureș 47

Travel into the heart of Maramureș, a land of wooden churches and timeless traditions, where families display their status in the comunity by building massive elaborate wooden gates, carved by hand. Their loom-woven rugs and blankets are still washed using centuries-old devices, that harvest the force of nearby rivers and streams. Visit one such authentic place (which is still used daily by the locals) where rugs are being washed, grains are being milled and moonshine is being distilled, all with the help of the Iza river. End the day with a hearty home-cooked dinner and a private folklore show in a local guesthouse in Vadu Izei.
