Three localities from the central part of the country, Cioresti, Dolna and Micleuseni, launched the rural touristic route “Dor de Codru” (Longing for the Forest). Beautiful places, secular Codri, popular crafts persons and agro-touristic pensions are among the 20 sightseeing places included in the route.
The touristic route will boost the attractiveness of this region. An increase in the number of tourists will support the residents of the three communities to develop additional services and products, generating additional income. Hence, more families will be able to secure decent revenues at home, without the need to emigrate to earn a living.
The route consists of six touristic paths: ecologic, fishing, cultural, gastronomic, historical-religious, and sportive.
The tourists will be able to test the pottery technique in Cioresti at the house of Zaharia Triboi, the only craftsperson in the Republic of Moldova who creates black ceramic objects. In Vulcanesti village, inhabited predominantly by Roma, ourists will find out more about the traditions and customs in a museum organised as an open-air Roma camp.
The community has several historical monuments such as the cemetery of Romanian heroes. On the same touristic route, in Micleuseni, guests will be able to taste the famous honey of the Honey House, known for its healing characteristics.
The business card of Dolna village includes the Mansion Museum that accommodated temporarily the Russian poet Aleksandr Puskin, the cellar of Boyar Zamfirache Arbore-Ralli, as well as Zamfira spring and meadow.
To be able to receive tourists and provide a full set of services, some residents renovated and opened agro-touristic guesthouses with own resources, where tourists can rest and serve traditional meals.
The establishment of “Dor de Codru” route is a project initiated by local authorities and natives with the support of the UNDP Migration and Local Development Project.
