General presentation
Codrii et monastères de Călărași
Wooded hills of the centre of Moldova, between nature reserve, monasteries, villages, valleys and slow roads.
The discovery of Codrii and monasteries of Călărași revolves around the Codrii Reserve, Căpriana Monastery and Hâncu Monastery. The stay thus alternates between forests, countryside, heritage and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: dispersed sites and variable signage. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Réserve des Codrii
The reserve Codrii Protects a landscape of wooded hills, damp valleys and forest roads in the centre of Moldova. It offers a green breath away from cellars and cities, with a discreet nature: oaks, beech trees, birds, clearings and slow roads between villages.
Coast
Monastère de Căpriana
The monastery of Căpriana appears in the middle of the wooded hills of Codru, with its white churches, bright roofs and neat enclosure. It is one of the great spiritual places of Moldova, but the visit also applies to the calm of the valley, the trees and the rural roads that lead there.
Monastery
Monastère de Hâncu
The monastery of Hâncu is hidden in a peaceful forest, with clear churches, domes and maintained gardens. Less urban than the sites of Chișinău, it gives a very soft image of the Moldovan center: country roads, wooded hills and silence punctuated by bells.
