Video: The Moldovan village where the oldest grapevine leaf was found
The Republic of Moldova is home to spectacular ravines, fords carved by water in the rock, and the famous heart-shaped island on the Nistru River. One notable area to admire these natural wonders is Naslavcea, located in the Ocnița district, which is the northernmost locality in the country. This village is situated on a high plateau, reminiscent of mountain villages found in other parts of Europe. Additionally, Naslavcea is known for its vine leaf, which is considered the oldest ever discovered in the region.
The scenic landscape, fresh air, and peacefulness surrounding the rivers and forests make the village an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic vacation in nature.
The area is known not only for its stunning landscapes but also for its unique natural features, including the Rudi Ravine and the Carpov Ravine, where the oldest vine leaf was discovered. Additionally, to the south of the village lies the "La 33 de Vaduri" reservation, a protected landscape area.
The agro-pensions in the village offer a perfect opportunity for those seeking an authentic experience characterized by hospitality and local traditions.
"It is a very beautiful land with very kind people. There are many places with interesting historical backgrounds. We have managed to create a lovely spot that is convenient for visitors, with delicious food. In the village of Naslavcea, there are several agro-pensions where tourists, both local and international, can stop for a meal and enjoy a delightful time," says Dumitru Bârlădean, the founder of one such agro-pension.
