Arrival in Bucovina, at the guesthouse located near the Moldovița monastery.

On Christmas day, you will enjoy a ride with the steam train called Mocănița Huțulca along the Moldovita river, so you can admire the peaceful wintery landscapes. The narrow-gauge railway was built by a sawmill owner from Munich and put into use in 1888 for transporting timber from the forest to the sawmill.
You can spend the rest of Christmas with the hosts, discovering in depth the histories and customs of the place.
In the evening we return to the pension where a delicious dinner will be waiting for us.
After breakfast you will set off with your guide on another walking exploration of these historical lands. We start nice and steady on paths that take us on the snow-covered hills, through endless forests and meadows. This hike will end above the Moldovița monastery, from where we get back to the accommodation.
Towards evening, we return to spend the last night of this Christmas story in these fairytale places.
