My journey to Maramures- Part 1

July 2012, we decided to visit the amazing region of Maramures.
Maramures is Located in the north part of Romania and bordered with Ukraine and it is
a land of wooden churches, mythological richness, impressive landscapes and very ancient customs. It has carefully preserved the culture, traditions, and lifestyle of a medieval peasant past.
Varied landscapes of Mountains, rivers and lakes, cities and villages, and very warm people.
After landing in our accommodation in the village of Danesti, me, my wife and 2 little children, took a walk, just to explore this "Heavenly" place.
We entered to a field of apple and prune trees, and a big pile of hay..




After few minutes my children requested to stop near an old house, surrounded by walnuts and apple trees, a field of corn and vegetables garden.
Of course this is not the reason for little children to stop :) . The real reason was animals...




                          Peeking above the fence

A woman saw us and with hands signs and big smile, asked us to enter her property.
She gave us a nylon bag and asked us to pick apples from the trees , for us.
After that, she let our children to play with the young cow and her cats.


The nice woman told us to come afternoon to drink fresh milk from her cow.
Of course we came back, such a nice invitation, how could we refuse...?!
