MaramuresThe old land of Maramure; is a place "without pai( in the
Romanian landscape. We discover here a wold which, while
not being opaque to technology and modern comforts, is
still full of the flavour and meanings of the ancestral peasant
culture.lt is with great naturalness thatthe folkof Maramurey
dwell among and care for the objects they have inherited
from their forefathers. And so whence the simplicity with
which they have been able to adapt to the latest inventions of
our modern civilisation?
We propose a short tour of the villages of Maramure;, which
nestle in the Marei, lzei, Cosaului, Vi;eului and Tisei valleys.
For the length of all these settlements, we shall follow
the marvellous metamorphoses of wood. The portals of
Maramurel homesteads greet us with a lavish display of
-ogination, their massive wood meticulously carved with combinations of matchless motifs: solar
: sls, the tree of life, crosses, geometrical figures, birds, serpents, and anthropomorphic designs.
-'e marvellous civilisation of wood is brilliantly illustrated by the celebrated churches of MaramureS,
-^ que not only because of their marvellous carvings, but also their architectural techniques and the
'crtony of their proportions, which achieve perfection and have earned a number of the churches
-',55CO World Heritage status, namely the wooden churches at Poienile lzei (1604), Budegi Josani
'lJ3t, leud Deal (17th century), Birsana (1720), Dese;ti (1770) in historic Maramures, $urdegti (1766)
at: 4opit (1 792) in the Land ofChioar, and Rogoz (1 663) in the Land of Lapu;.

The commu.nities of Maramurey have preserved numerous traditional household installations -fulling pools,water mills,brandy stills.They are by no means museum pieces:before majorChristian
feast days, when general cleaning is done, all the women gather at the fulling pool the village -"washing machine" - to wash their rugs. The ingenious installation colled a "horincie" serves to
produce the well-known "horinca'i or double-distilled brandy.
Other unique attractions of Maramureg: ancient rural and pastoral festivals, such as the Separation
of the Barren Sheep or the processions in the lza Valley on the holy day of the Dormition of the
Mother of God, the famous Day of the Dead, the narrow-gauge steam railway in the Vaser Valley,
the Merry Cemetery otSdpdnla.
