Suceava Fortress - Putna Monastery - Vatra Dornei 3 day tour


Once the capital of Moldova (from 1388 until 1565), Suceava is an excellent starting point for trips to the many historical, cultural and natural attractions travelers can enjoy in the Bucovina region.

The beginnings of Putna Monastery, the most important religious, cultural and artistic centre in mediaeval Moldavia, take us back to the year 1466 when, upon the initiative of Prince Stephen the Great (1457-1504), a church of impressive dimensions was built on a patch of forest cleared for the purpose.

Situated at an altitude of 802 meters, in a depression passage of the Oriental Carpathians, the Vatra Dornei resort town attained its fame as a curative location in the second half of the 18th century, when the mineral waters of this former Austrian Empire province (Vatra Dornei-Candreni-Saru Dornei) landed on the emperors dining table in Vienna.
Vatra Dornei has always been a leading attraction spot, considering the beautiful landscape, as well as the exceptional healing properties of the waters that have gradually built up a name for the town, as one of the first rate balneal resorts in Romania.
