Start from Suceava about 8.00 am, this tour covering 380km scenic trip to Neamt county and gets back around 8.00 pm.
We'll be driving to the South of Bucovina at the Targu Neamt town where we'll visit Neamt Fortress, which has never been conquered by enemy and wrote in 1476 one of the most heroic pages from the history of Moldavia, when the fortress resisted to the siege of the Turkish army lead by Mohamed II – the conqueror of Constantinopole. |
|
After that we’ll drive to the nearby Neamt Monastery. The church was built by Stefan cel Mare and finished in the year when the Moldavian army won the battle against King John |
| |
 |
Albert of Poland (1497). Sumptuous, with delicate colour effects, the monastery shows the maturity of the Moldavian |
architectonic style, which matured during Stefan cel Mare's period. The façade of the church is covered with the decoration characteristic of |
 |
Stefan cel Mare's time: Gothic windows and friezes with enamelled disks, coloured in green, yellow and brown.
|
|
| |
Driving back, optional the next stop can be at the Bison Reservation, where can see some animals like: dears, harts, pheasants, bear and bison were Moldavia’s symbol. |
 |
|
| |
 |
Then, on Bicaz valley we’ll drive abroad to the large lake of Bicaz (40 km long) and visit the deepest from Carpathian gorges - Bicaz Gorge. |
| |
 |
About 7km long with walls 300m high, Bicaz Gorges are not just a splendid occasion to admire the beauty of nature but also a place for buying souvenirs from the local merchants.
|
| |
Not far from the gorges, Red Lake presents an interesting picturesque area, with its empty trunks of old fir trees which |
|
| |
 |
Then passing through Agapia village, we'll reach the Agapia Monastery, one of Romania's largest convent with 350 nuns. |
| |
 |
The wals and gatetower aim to conceal rather than to protect: inside is a whitewashed enclosure around a cheerful garden. The interior of church was repainted in 1858 by Nicolae Grigorescu, the country's foremost painter. |
