Visit Transnistria. A day trip to a monastery near Tiraspol (Part 1)
Visit Transnistria!
Transnistria, or Pridnestrovie, is a breakaway republic that declared independence from Moldova in the early 90's. It is not recognised by the international community and is considered by many to be one of the last strongholds of the Soviet system, though a lot has been changing in the last few years.
Join me in exploring the Noul Neamt monastery, just about 7 kilometers outside of Tiraspol, the capital of the country.

Join me in exploring the Noul Neamt monastery, just about 7 kilometers outside of Tiraspol, the capital of the country. The most prominent feature of the monastery is a tall bell tower that gives an amazing view over the countryside of this small country. Join me in climbing the tower to the top!

We spent a full day on this curious Region which is located between Moldova and Ukraine. Transnistria self-proclaimed itself a state after a conflict with Moldova.
Unrecognised by UN, the region is supported strongly by Russia and you notice this when you cross the border (
Transnistria runs its own Parliament, currency, army and dispatches passports that can't be used anywhere else. This is a strange territory in the old continent that deserves a visit if you wish to get the real flavor of how life used to be in the former USSR.
