This is a nice walk where you can breath fresh air, enjoy the view and pray if you like. It takes a couple of hours.

Densus Church

Reviewed By day8807 - Braila County, Romania

Dating from 13th century and made from stone, this is a church about I learned in highschool history class, so it was on my bucket list. It is a calm and serene place and it is called St. Nicholas church. It is situated in Densus village and the road to it is very beautiful also. I arrived after 18:00 and I found the church closed, I could'nt get inside, and also we two were the only one in the church's court (which is a graveyard)...spooky :))

Dormition of the Theotokos Church

The Strei Church is located on E79 / DN66 road, at a distance of 20 km from Hateg and 14 km from Simeria. Strei is one of the oldest churches in Romania, being built on the site of a Romanian "villa rustica", its annexes being still visible. Founded by the Ambrose novel, the Strei Church was built at the end of the 13th century, the first attestation of the church taking place in 1392.

Reviewed By Viorel_25 - Sibiu, Romania

The church is located in Strei village, at approximately 14 kilometers from Simeria on DN 66. The road sign towards the church is located at a curve, so you've got to be careful not to miss it. The church was built in the middle of the village cemetery. The church was built using stone, on top of a roman "villa rustica". The foundations of the roman villa are still visible. The church can be visited during the week (the contact number is posted on the entrance door).

Fabric Synagogue

Reviewed By AnatNat - Tel Aviv, Israel

It's old and not restored and you have to use some imagination in order to admire it, but you can really see through the current negligence and be impressed by the old glory of the building. When you go there have a look at other buildings in Fabric, they all have the same fate but you can see the beauty.
