A true wood civilization has been developed in Maramures County. Starting with the stick that defended the locals from beasts, to the temple dedicated to Divinity, the inhabitants made almost all their tools and household objects a wooden art. They reached greatness in monumental buildings like the gates protecting their houses and the churches they were attending. All of these elements are true symbols of the wood civilization of Maramures.

From morning until night, from monday to sunday, in any season, the life of the locals is a true ritual that followed the same path for centuries. The Christian calendar marks a few great celebration days that are specific to Maramures County.

Every village of Maramures is a birth place of civilization, each and every one of them harbouring priceless treasures, unique monuments of architecture and folk art recognized by the most important institutions in the world (UNESCO included 8 wooden churches of Marmures in the World Patrimony of Humanity that is protected by the institution). The surrounding nature, its great landscapes, the various possibilities of recreation, this is the starting place of a well spent vacation.
