How can you say you've been to Maramureș if you haven't been at least once ... every season ... with Mocănița?

 

The winter landscape among the mountains with frozen rivers is a visual symphony of nature, where the wild beauty intertwines with the solemn silence of the cold season!

Day 3

On the third day we thought of exploring the spiritual area, because religion is at home here. The people of Maramures are people with a lot of respect for the Church and traditions.

Day 4

Since Maramureș is also about nature and places untouched by man, we urge you, on the last day, to choose a guided tour with the ATV or the Pinzgauer. Both motorized tours take place on the hills and paths of the Maramureș Mountains and will take you to memorable landscapes! 

 

The Pinzgauer is a military all-terrain vehicle. A real 6x6, with 12 seats, that will take you to the mountaintops safely!

As you climb in altitude, the scenery becomes more and more spectacular. The rolling mountains unfold before your eyes, and the deep valleys and towering cliffs challenge you to stop to admire this uplifting sight. Stepping off the ATV or Pinzgauer, you feel the cool, fresh air enveloping you, loaded with the aromas of conifers and mountain trail.
