We enter Maramureș through the medieval city of Baia Mare, we tour the Romanian and Hutsul wooden churches included in the World Heritage List, visit the abandoned Hasidic Jewish cemteries, on the market of Sighetu Marmației we still taste something from the former ethnic diversity, go to see the merry cemetery of Sapănța, by crossing the Ukrainian border we have a lunch in the geographical center of Europe, walk to the source of the Tisza, see the beautiful Hasidic cemeteries of Kuty and Vizhnitsa, spend a day in Czernowitz, the former capital of Bukovina with thirty nationalities and Viennese atmosphere, and at Sireth we return to Romania again to visit some of the richly painted Bukovinian Renaissance princely monasteries, also included in the World Heritage List.

Apart from Czernowitz, where we spend a night in hotel, our accommodations will be everywhere in the mountains, in traditional guesthouses. The participation fee for the six-day tour (accommodation + minibus + guide) is 300 euro. Registration and deadline of payment: 20 June, Thursday.
