Touristic Potential
A land crammed with legends and of a divine beauty, Bukovina is a truly appreciated region, even by those who make a living in these parts.They feel the passion of homesickness, scarcely seen in other places, and they proudly name themselves “inhabitants of Bukovina”(bucovinieni), enhancing their customs, feasts, the inharitance of the voivodes and the idiom of the old people.Go and stare, listen and fill yourselves with the strenght of these people and places, that enrich themselves with the energy of past centuries and of the holly dwellings.
Wherever you halt, indifferently of the degree of comfort and modernization, you are amazed by how well tradition is put forward and preserved.When you say Bukovina, you say infinite longing, and when you pass by, you know that you are touched by the power of prayers.
