septembrie 15, 2025The second edition of the Via Bacovia Trail will take place on 20 September. On Sunday, 14 September, the Feast of the Ascension of the Holy Cross, we set off on an easy run to reconnoitre the VBT Chapels Cross Country Run route. The start was, of course, in front of the “Ascension of the Holy Cross” church in Luizi Călugăra. We leave some pictures here to tell you about the route. [...] Citește mai mult...
iulie 23, 2025Bacăul has its beauties. From Buhoci, climbing up a forest road, in less than 3km we reach the top of a high hill (over 430m) from where we can admire the surroundings, both to the east, where a sea of rolling hills stretches, and to the west where we can see the meanders of the Siret and the city of Bacău. Somewhere below the ridge towards Buhoci-Traian, there is also the protected area Culmea Cucuieți, which covers an area of 6,499ha. It is a wild area, with deserts, scrublands, ruptures and old trees and is the habitat of four protected species: red-bellied owlet, yellow-bellied spoonbill, crested newt, grey-browed tawny nightjar. The protected area covers the territory of the TAUs Bohoci, Gioseni, Horgești, Parincea, Secuieni, Tamași, Traian and Ungureni. Let the pictures do the talking! [...] Citește mai mult...
iulie 1, 2025Founded by Anastasia Racoviță Costachi and her niece, Maria Rosetti, the church was completed in 1786 by Nastasia’s son-in-law, Iordache Ruset. The inscription moulded in bronze on the church bell, in Cyrillic slove, has the following content:”This bell was made by Mrs Kokona Nastasiea Racoviță, the Visternice from Kălugăra Moruzi Voevod let 7285-1788“. Over time, the monument was repaired in 1868 by D. Cracti and parishioners. Twenty years later, the nobleman Emil Brăescu repaired it at his own expense, and in 1902, with the help of priest G. Comanescu to repair it again. In 1936, the parish owned 12 hectares of agricultural land and another 2 hectares comprising the churchyard and the two cemeteries. Also in 1936, the church was declared Historical Monument, a status it still holds today. Another repair was carried out after the earthquake in 1940, and in 1996 the interior painting was redone by the painter Jan Zărnescu, his wife and son. The church is an architectural hybrid: a three-lobed church with relatively small, polygonal apses on the outside and a strongly recessed porch, above which rises a massive bell-tower (characteristic of churches in the Bacau area, influenced by the architecture of Catholic churches). The exterior is plastered, painted grey, sober, without decorations. It is only in the upper register that a series of painted medallions in the shape of a rhomboid give the church a slightly strange, unusual air. The roof is of galvanised sheet metal, and in the tower the sheet metal is worked in scales, the roof being bulbar. The windows are semicircular. The entrance is on the north side of the porch, above the door there is a niche with a curved end, with a painted icon of the patron saint: St Nicholas. The interior is of the hall type, with no separation between the nave and the pronaos (only a double archway, which is marked by a double arch that unloads onto two strong pilasters), with a cafas on the west side and a wooden catapet. The church has a stone masonry plinth, which takes up the rather large unevenness of the terrain. This slope could have caused possible slippage on the east and north sides, which led to the buttresses in 1913. The vaulting system is wooden.

mai 25, 2025My name is Cătălin, and I’m not from Bacău.I moved to the city 5 years ago and there are Bacauanians who don’t know that there are spectacular places of water, with specific fauna. Or, they know they exist, but haven’t explored them. For some time a new sport has been on the horizon, and I fell in love with it and made others fall in love with it. It wasn’t hard.“SUP going? ” or ” are we boarding tonight? ” became legitimate questions in our small local group of enthusiasts.SUP, the logical abbreviation, coined by others, for Stand Up Paddle Board, and that’s because SUPB would have been hard to pronounce 🙂 I first saw SUP in Vama Veche and rented for an hour. Small waves, me for the first time, so I couldn’t paddle standing, only knees, but it won me over. I ordered as soon as we arrived in Bacău. It wasn’t then the best choice after the precarious research of the deciding elements involved in buying a paddle, but I did it with joy and enthusiasm! I knew about the lake at the Leisure Island, but didn’t want to have wondering eyes on me at my first attempts at stand up paddle, so I asked colleagues about other places with water. I was directed to Coada del Lac, in the Bistrita Delta, next to the old willow forest, a fabulous place when not crowded, full of beauty and tranquillity. There I learnt to “walk on water”. And, since then, whenever I have the opportunity, late in the evening, or long laps of the Danube Delta, big lakes in the country, I have the SUP in the car and I don’t hesitate to enjoy the quiet in the middle of the water. And I’ve convinced many others.My name is Cătălin and I love the middle of the water. Listening to the wind blowing, and the sun shining on me. [...] Citește mai mult...
aprilie 15, 2025“St Michael” Church in Valea Mare – Fărăoani An oasis of faith in the heart of Moldova Situated between Valea de Sus and Valea de Jos, on the border between Valea Mare and Faraoani, the Roman-Catholic Church “St Michael” watches over the community of believers in the area. Its proximity to the 7 Capele pilgrimage route makes this place not only a spiritual reference point, but also a stopover full of history and beauty for those who travel the paths of Moldavia in search of tranquillity. History and local identity Built between 1922 and 1925, the present church was consecrated on 29 September, the feast day of the Archangel Michael, the spiritual patron saint of the community. It replaced a small wooden church that still stands today in the village cemetery – one of the oldest Catholic churches in the area. The parish was reactivated in 1953, after the separation from Fărăoani, and has been led over the years by dedicated priests who have contributed to the formation of a community united around the values of the faith. Dozens of priests, nuns and even bishops have set out on their journey, including Mons. Anton Coșa, Bishop of Chisinau, and Bishop Ioan Duma. Simple architecture with spiritual depth The church impresses with its clean lines and balanced proportions. The sober-elegant façade, bright interior, paintings and wooden furnishings create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In the centre of the altar is the image of the Archangel Michael, symbol of protection and courage. In the church there is also a special classical organ, played by Fr Ioan Duma (the future bishop) at the consecration of the church. Spiritual life at the heart of the community The liturgical programme during the week is from 07:00 to 18:00. In addition, the church hosts catechesis, worship and youth activities, keeping the faithful in touch with Christian values. Stop on the “7 Chapels Pilgrimage” route Situated very close to the 7 Capele Pilgrimage 7 Chapels, the church is an ideal stopping point for pilgrims. The tranquillity of the place invites you to meditate. It is a place where spirituality blends with the beauty of the landscape. A place where time stands still… and the heart opens St Michael’s Church is not just a religious edifice, but a living testimony of a community living by faith. Here, history, architecture and spirituality converge in a unique point on the map of Moldova, inviting the visitor to stay, to breathe, to pray.

martie 9, 2025Vovidenia wooden church in Luncani (1777), a jewel of Moldovan spiritual heritage In the picturesque village of Luncani, located in the commune of Margineni, Bacău County, there is one of the most valuable wooden churches in the region: the Vovidenia Church, dedicated to the “Entry of the Virgin Mary into the Church”. The place of worship is not only a place of prayer for the community, but also a living testimony to Moldovan Orthodox history and spirituality. Church history and architecture Built in the 18th century, Vovidenia Church reflects the traditional style of wooden churches in the Moldavian area. Made of massive beams skilfully joined together, the church impresses with its architectural simplicity and the beauty of its hand-carved details. Over time, it has been restored and strengthened, but has managed to retain its authentic charm and is an outstanding example of vernacular religious architecture. The gable roof and modest porch, supported by carved pillars, are distinctive features of the building. The interior painting, in Byzantine style, retains the vivid colours and expressiveness characteristic of Orthodox iconography, although some parts have needed restoration over time. Among the valuable artistic elements is the beautifully carved catapet dating back to the construction of the church. It is adorned with old, hand-painted icons, some of which bear the marks of the passage of time but retain a particular beauty. The church was built by Konatantin Tumurug from Luncani, the initials K and T being carved above the entrance door. Spiritual and cultural importance The Vovidenia Church is not only a place of worship, but also a symbol of the continuing religious traditions of the Luncani community. Here, the faithful gather every year to celebrate the church’s feast day on 21 November, when a special service takes place, full of emotion and piety. Local legend has it that the church was built by a family of boyars in gratitude for a miracle in their lives. It is said that in times of hardship the church was a refuge for those seeking protection and peace of mind. By its resistance in the face of time and its role in the life of the community, the church is considered a true heritage monument. It is included in the list of historical monuments in Bacău County, being protected for its architectural and cultural value. Heritage conservation and promotion To ensure the preservation of the church for future generations, several restoration and protection projects have been initiated. Conservation efforts are supported by local authorities, parishioners and lovers of Romanian religious heritage. Recently, work has been carried out to maintain the roof and strengthen the foundations so that the church can be visited safely by pilgrims and tourists. A visit to the Vovidenia Church in Luncani is an incursion into the past, an opportunity to discover an important part of the Moldovan spiritual and cultural identity. Those who come to this area are invited to admire this soulful monument, to discover the beauty of the ancient icons and to feel the tranquillity that this place of prayer and reflection offers. History and symbolism Vovidenia wooden church in Luncani is more than just a church – it is a living page of history, a symbol of faith and an architectural treasure of Moldova. Through the endeavours of the community and those who cherish its heritage, this place of worship will continue to live on through the ages, preserving in its soul the ancestral faith and tradition. Whoever crosses the threshold of this church will be impressed by its atmosphere of tranquillity and sanctity, a testimony to the steadfast faith of our ancestors.
