To relax and take a long, deep breath of fresh air, fly to Maramures, a mountainous area in northern Romania. Its wooden churches, most of which are several hundred years old, make the area popular. The location to be in Maramures is in the capital, Baie Mare. In this typical Romanian region, people have been mining for silver, gold, and other metals for over 2,000 years. In the main square, Piata Libertatii, much of its mediaeval history has been preserved.
