Suceava

Once the capital of Moldavia, for nearly 200 years the city of Suceava was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia and the main residence of the Moldavian princes (namely between 1388 and 1565). Today is an excellent starting point to visit the north of Romania, especially the painted monasteries of Bucovina but not only. The town has some noteworthy attractions of its own: Saint George's Church (the monastery of St. John the New of Suceava), a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Bucovina village museum (open-air museum), with its valuable old wooden bucovinean houses and traditional items exhibits, and Suceava's main tourist site the 14th-century citadel.

Agapia monastery

An important Romanian Orthodox monastery, located 9 km west of Târgu Neamț, in Agapia Commune. Built between 1642 and 1647 by Romanian Voivode Vasile Lupu nowadays is hosting more than 200 nuns. The church, restored and modified several times during the centuries, was painted by Nicolae Grigorescu, between 1858 and 1861.

Bicaz Gorges

Bicaz Gorge, part of the National Park Hasmas, where 400 meters (1300 ft) of limestone rocks are towering the narrow road, and create one of Romania's most spectacular landscapes.

Red Lake

At halfway from Brasov, we will stop at the Red Lake. A very particular lake, maybe not so red as you may expect. Due to his legends, the lake is also called Killer Lake.

Prejmer

Prejmer is a Saxon fortified medieval church built by the Germanic Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. The church and the fortification are listed as UNESCO world heritage and, at the same time, still an active Lutheran church.

Brasov

One of the seven medieval Saxon walled citadels, framed by the Carpathian Mountains, is considered one of the beautiful cities in Romania.

Tour description:

Suceava - Brasov day tour is a very long and fascinating day trip. We will start from Suceava town, the former capital of Moldavia, and nowadays "the capital" of southern Bucovina. The first visit will be to the Moldavian monastery of Agapia with its 300 nuns and their lovely workshops: handmade rugs, weaving, and icon painting. After Agapia Monastery we will start climbing the Eastern (Oriental) Carpathians mountains on a road that slices Bicaz Gorge, where 300 meters (1000 ft,) of limestone rocks are towering the narrow road and create one of Romania's most spectacular landscapes. Close to the top of the mountain pass, we will see the "Red Lake" not as red as you expect but with many stories and legends behind it.

After the Lake, we are no longer in Moldavia but in Transylvania, and we start to descend the Carpathians mountains in sharp curves crossing the unique Szeklers villages. After we leave the Carpathians behind, we get to Prejmer and visit the fortified church built by the Germanic Teutonic Knights in the 13th century and listed as UNESCO world heritage.

Our last stop will be in Brasov, one of the seven medieval Saxon walled citadels, where we'll have a quick panoramic tour by car or a visit at the famous Black Church.
