Romania (#07): Sighetu Marmatiei
Sighetu Marmatiei ... inhabited since the Hallstatt period, the urban area was situated on an important route that followed the Tisza Valley. The first mention of a settlement dates back to the 11th century, and the city as such was first mentioned in 1326. In 1352, it was a free royal town and the capital of Máramaros comitatus of the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1556, the settlement was a residence of Transylvanian Princes; from 1570 to 1733, the town and the county were part of the Principality of Transylvania. In 1733, King Charles III returned it and Máramaros County to his Hungarian domain. Sighetu Marmatiei was one of the Romanian, Rusyn, and Jewish cultural and political centers in the Kingdom of Hungary.
It became part of the Kingdom of Romania at the end of World War I, and was again under Hungarian administration during World War II as a result of the Second Vienna Award. The latter lasted until 1944 and in these years more than 20,000 Jews from Sighet would be sent to Auschwitz (including the Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, born in Sighet) and other Nazi extermination camps. Nowadays there are only about 100 Jews living in Sighetu Marmatiei. The Treaty of Paris at the end of World War II voided the Vienna Awards, and Sighetu Marmatiei returned to Romania.
In the 1950s and 1960s, after the establishment of the Romanian communist regime, the Securitate ran the Sighet prison as a place for political repression of public figures that had been declared class enemies. The former prison is now a museum, and a Memorial for the Victims of Communism.

The small commune of Barsana, located in Maramures County, is a Romanian tourist destination not only as a place of remarkable beauty and purity of nature but in addition it is the home of one of the eight Wooden Churches of Maramures included in the UNESCO World Heritage. This church, whose patron saint is the Virgin Mary, was built to honor the Virgin’s Presentation in the Temple and is but one of the many pillars of the orthodox faith that prevails is a beautiful synthesis of Eastern and Western European architecture, with Gothic and Byzantine elements.
The legend says that the monastery originally stood across the river Iza, in the Slatina Valley, and that it was moved later to the right of the river, on Podurile Manastirii (The Monastery Bridges).
It was manually carved by some of the most talented artisans from Maramures and no nails were used to put this majestic constructions together.

Manastirea Barsana este unul din obiectivele de referință din Maramureș. Motivul, este atât frumoasa biserică din interiorul ansamblului cât și restul clădirilor de lemn realizate de meșteri populari din Maramureș.
Biserica manastirii Barsana este una din cele mai înalte biserici de lemn din România, având 57m înălțime. Tot la Barsana se gaseste o a doua biserica care face parte din patrimoniul mondial UNESCO.
Apartinand de Episcopia Ortodoxa Romana a Maramuresului si Satmarului, Manastirea Soborul Sfintilor Apostoli din Barsana este situata la 22 de km sud-est de municipiul Sighetul Marmatiei, la iesirea din Barsana, spre podul Slatioarei, unde spatiile dumbravilor largi ale Izei se stramteaza, spre localitatea Stramtura, fiind cel mai stramt vad al Izei. De la kilometrul 17 al Drumului Judetean 186, trecand pe sub o frumoasa poarta maramureseana, se rasuceste in sus aleea care duce lin spre manastire.

Visit to Maramures
Today's focus: Ieud Monastery
The village is situated in the central part of Maramureș County, about 1 hour drive from Sighetu-Marmatiei, on the banks of the Ieudișor, a tributary of the Iza River.
The monastery is newly built compared with the other 2 wooden churches of the village(the upper church - dating from the 17-th century and the lower church). It has a huge spiritual value but it is also situated in a fabulous natural environment.

Winter Steam & Diesel in Romania 2015
For clickable index, please expand description!
Scenes from a 10-day winter journey through Romania mostly in beautiful cold weather with some snow. I travelled there on sleeper train Ister and back on Corona. The first two days I captured scheduled CFR class 60 (Sulzer) and 65 (EMD) diesel locomotives around Sibiu and Cluj as well as partly second-hand DMUs (ex German DB class 614 and Dutch NS class DH2 Wadloper).
The main week of the trip was spent on a Tanago photo steam charter tour on the narrow gauge logging railways of well-known Vaser Valley ( Valea Vaserului / Wassertal ) and Moldovita. In total six locomotives were under steam, one day we took pictures riding a diesel railcar. Vaser Valley Mocanita is the last timber line still in operation featuring long diesel production trains hauled by Faur L45H class 87 locomotives, draisines converted from vans plus other interesting vintage and current forestry scenes.
