Die Maramureş
Maramures- land of the wooden churches
Landscape and People
Nowadays the Romanian part of Maramures is home for about 600 000 people, mostly Romanians and a minority of
Hungarians and Ukrainians.
Maramures is for sure the most original but also the most underdeveloped area of Romania. Between the heights
of the Tibles mountains, the Maramures mountains and the Rodna mountains, whose peaks rise more than 2200
metres into the sky, there is a large number of valleys. In those valleys agriculture and animal husbandry are
oftentimes a rather decent way of earning money for the farmers and herdsmen. It is even more surprising how
open- hearted and hospitable the people of this area welcome foreign visitors. Without hesitating, they share
the few things have with the people who pass by their house.
