Because is not very good train or bus connection between Bucovina region and Sighisoara we propose a nice daily trip for tourists who desire to visit Sighisoara after Bucovina region or vice versa. In this trip you'll enjoy to visit few beautiful touristy sites in Moldavia.

We’ll present a plan of trip starting from Suceava town and end trip in Sighisoara, but we can do a reverse trip too.

Start from Suceava about 7.30AM, this tour is covering 350 km scenic trip toward Sighisoara.

We'll be driving to the South of Bucovina in Moldavia region where will have first stop to Agapia Monastery, one of Romania's largest convent with 300 nuns. The walls and gate tower 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. Also, here we'll visit the nun's atelier of tapestry, painted icons and knitwear.

Next stop to the nearby Varatec Monastery (18th century), is the largest convent in Europe, a special village with 400 nuns. Here is a nice museum of icons and embroideries and a bakery shop where you can enjoy with Moldavian traditional pies made by nuns and the sirop from spruce tree!

Then passing through Piatra Neamt town we'll reach at the deepest from Carpathian gorges - Bicaz gorges. 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 just out of the water. Bring your camera!
