Butuceni - Unnamed Road

Large, level parking lot in Orheiul Vecchi. Parking for vans and motorhomes costs. There's also an additional fee per person for the national park, including admission to the small museum. Overnight stays are permitted. The cave church and the Church of St. Mary are only a few hundred meters uphill. The site is very quiet at night until the church bells ring in the morning. Definitely one of the most beautiful overnight spots in Moldova. From there, there's a beautiful circular hike up to the cave monastery, further to the Church of St. Mary, and up along the ridge to Trebujeni. Then down along the river to the cave dwellings. Then back down to the Raut River and to the turnoff after the small rock chapel up to the Church of St. Mary. Then down to Butuceni to the museum and for dinner at the Eco Resort Butuceni.
