Orheiul Vechi (On tentative list)

Orheiul Vechi

My visit to Orhei Vechi was made in October 2023, I had already been touring Moldova for several days, and I have to say that in general Moldova, unlike what many people think, is a country that has many interesting places to offer, I find it incredible that Moldova only has the ridiculous Struve Geodesic Arc as the only WHS.
Orhei Vechi is undoubtedly one of those places that should be inscribed within the world heritage of Moldova.

To get to Orhei Vechi I took a Marshrutka from the central bus station of Chisinau towards the village of Butuceni, I must mention that this village itself is quite picturesque and interesting, it is a traditional Moldovan village, wooden houses painted blue and a quite pleasant rural atmosphere, from the village there is a path that ascends to the cliffs where the incredible views of Orhei Vechi are located with an imposing monastery (where a wedding was taking place), a tower and a cross, nearby there is also another cave monastery dug into the rock. I took the last marshrutka to Chisinau again, leaving at 15:45pm, remember to go early in the morning to make the most of the time in the area.
