Old Orhei is one of Moldova's most fantastic sites. The Orheiul Vechi Monastery Complex is carved into a massive limestone cliff in this wild, rocky, remote spot. The Cave Monastery, inside a cliff overlooking the Raut River, was dug by Orthodox monks in the 13th century. It remained inhabited until the 18th century, and in 1996 a handful of monks returned and began restoring it.
Old Orhei was added to the Unesco world heritage tentative list in 2014.

I discovered that many of my early posts to flickr had no tagging and were in only 1 or 2 groups. So I think this is a good time, while sheltering at home, to bring some of these out into the light.

After a busy morning exploring the countryside in Moldova, it is time to stop and rest and try some traditional local dishes from this beautiful restaurant in Old Orhei.
Happy Fence Friday!
I believe I found this primative wayside in or near Trebujeni, Moldova. This tiny quaint village is near the famous Orheiul Vechi Monastery.
