1. HOREZU MONASTERY 2. POLOVRAGI CAVE 3. POLOVRAGI MONASTERY - Overnight in Ramnicu Valcea

Horezu Monastery (Hurezi Monastery) - During a two-day excursion, visitors will explore the Horezu Monastery. Renowned as one of the most exquisite and sophisticated orthodox monasteries, Horezu Monastery, with its purely authentic Romanian architecture, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list from the outset, with no indication that anything could ever surpass it.

A trip to Romania should include, among other attractions, the most frequented Romanian monasteries, such as the Horezu Monastery. Here, visitors can admire the celebrated Horezu ceramics, the gorges carved into the mountain walls, and the renowned stone caves.

Polovragi Cave - For those who have ventured into wet or dry caves before, the Polovragi Cave offers a haunting and eerily spiritual experience, as if it belongs to another realm.

This warm and humid cave features many stunning calcareous formations throughout its galleries, which stretch over 10 km, with 800 m accessible to visitors. Highlights include the Spring of Hope, the Bloody Vault, the White Room, the Divine Chamber, the Grim Reaper, the Dacian Oven, the King and Queen, Snow White, and the Dwarfs’ House.

Polovragi Monastery - Embark on a journey through time, imagining a leap back 500 years to when the Polovragi Monastery, a historical monument of significant cultural and spiritual importance, was constructed.

1. THE WOMEN’S CAVE 2. THE CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI ENSEMBLE IN TARGU JIU - Back to Bucharest

Table of Silence - Even if one does not have a passion for sculptural masterpieces, a Brancusi exhibit is a must-see for anyone visiting Romania. The Constantin Brancusi Sculptural Ensemble in Targu Jiu, also known as the “Calea Eroilor” Memorial (Heroes Way), is more than a stunning display of stone and wood craftsmanship; it is a symbol of the Romanian spirit.

The ensemble comprises four sculptures, arranged along a 1275 m axis – The Table of Silence, The Chairs Alley, The Gate of the Kiss, and the Infinity Column/Endless Column, which captivate with their simple yet profoundly symbolic design.
