Doll Ravine

Highlight • Natural Monument

This natural curiosity was discovered by John Chintauan several decades ago. He originally wanted to call it Soldiers' Ravine, because the stones, he said, looked lined up like soldiers ready to go into battle.

But after further research, he realized that the stones looked more like Russian dolls.

The nature reserve known as “ravin aux dolls” has only two hectares and is made up of a vertical wall with compact sands, on which we can observe marly clays, marls, and concretionary sandstones. These layers form all kinds of patterns, which look like dolls, mushrooms, and even animal heads.

Bistrița

Highlight • Settlement

Bistrița is one of the seven Saxon fortresses in Transylvania. This city has an interesting history which can still be read through the architectural style of the many buildings and religious complexes.

The evangelical church is the emblem of Bistrița. It is located in the center of the city. It is an architectural monument representative of the transition from Gothic to Renaissance style in Transylvania. The church tower is perched 75 meters high. It is one of the tallest towers in Romania.

You can go to the top of the church by taking an elevator. Admiring the panorama of a city helps you better understand its layout and also helps you get your bearings.

Ovidenia Orthodox Church Bistrița

Highlight • Religious Site

Ovidenia is the old name of the holiday in the Orthodox calendar on November 21, which corresponds to the Entry of the Mother of God into the Church. The main Orthodox church of Bistrița is dedicated to this day. The building was originally the church of the Minorite Monastery of "St. Andrei", also called the Crown Church, which dates back to the 13th century. It is a hall church with cross vaults and pointed arches, representative of the early Transylvanian Gothic of Cistercian origin. The church was bought by the United Romanian Parish (Greek Catholic) in 1895. In 1948, with the proscription of the United Romanian Church by the communist regime, the entire complex (church and monastery) was handed over to the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Bistrita Synagogue

Highlight • Religious Site

It is a very beautiful synagogue in the neo-Gothic style. Now a historic monument, the religious building reminds us of the vibrant life of the Jewish community living in the Bistrita of yesteryear, in the middle of a once multi-ethnic city.
