In the village of Romanesti, there is a charming little wooden church that you can find on a smaller hill within the Orthodox cemetery. The church, which has a simple yet beautiful design, has recently undergone renovations to restore its original beauty. You can easily reach it from the main road, as you drive from Valea lui Liman towards Cosevita, almost in the middle of the village you will have to make a right turn. You can even spot it from the main road.
This small church was originally built in the late 17th century in the Mures Valley, which is not far from the village of Romanesti. In the 18th century, the church was carefully taken apart and moved to its current location in Romanesti. Over time, the church became a cherished part of the village’s history.
Interestingly, not far from Romanesti, in the nearby village of Zolt, there is another small wooden church that looks very similar to the one in Romanesti. Both churches share a similar style and charm, making them almost like twin buildings.
Just in front of the cemetery, you’ll see a road that leads to the Romanesti Cave, which is only a few kilometers away. If you have the time, be sure to explore this fascinating cave too. The road is easy to follow, and the short journey is well worth it. The Romanesti Cave is a natural wonder that adds to the charm of the area, offering a unique experience for those who visit.
