Today we will guide you trough an unforgettable experience on Europe’s last historic forest
railway to Vişeu de Sus, close to the Ukrainian border. Ever since ancient times, Maramures has been
mainly known due to its thriving wood-based industry for the thriving civilization of wood. The
forest and their resources have represented the main way to make a living for the local people. Elders
still maintain the habit of saying a prayer before cutting a tree. Also, many religious holidays in these
places are directly related to forest and trees. Frequent attacks of enemies have forced the locals to
adapt to a particular lifestyle: each time they were attacked by enemies, they had to retreat into the
mountains and virtually abandon their homes and villages. After the invaders withdrawal, people
started rebuilding the villages. Everything was made of wood: houses, churches, gates, even
cemeteries. Many of these treasures of architectural heritage are still preserved today. Almost every
household is built out of wood, has a wooden gate and keeps a room of dowry.
A lot of traditions have been preserved here, despite the economical and industrial
development of the last two centuries. One of the most interesting between tradition and technology
is represented by the Mocăniţa of the Vaser Valley. Built in the 1920s, after the first World War the
forest railway was fit into the mountain rail system that was built around the country at that time. In
the late 80s, in Romania there were about 6.000 km of narrow railway. After 1990, most of these
railways were destroyed, with few exceptions. One of these exceptions is the forest track from the
Vaser Valley. The train hasn’t stopped working, being used in logging in northern Maramures. Since
the year 2000, with help from the Swiss foundation Hilfe für die Wasserthalbahn, trains have been
also used to transport tourists. This railway is unique in Europe because of its steam locomotives,
which drive small wagons into remote areas, completely isolated from any modern life. Get ready for
a unique adventure in a landscape of rare beauty, where time seems to have stood still. In the evening
we will return to Cluj.
