RE: Folk Art Museum Of Moșna
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Those are super, super beautiful photographs! Moșna (Meschen in German) is superb, as is southern Transylvania in general, of course. The folk museum has some very interesting Transylvanian Saxon exhibits. According to a recent genetic test that I did, I seem to be partly Transylvanian Saxon as well myself, by descent, as all my ancestors on the Romanian side arrived in Mediaș (another beautiful Romanian and Transylvanian Saxon town in Transylvania, Romania) at some point during the 19th century.
The fun fact is that I'm actually from Suceava which is way up north, as I am certain you know. Your photographs and posts promoting Romania are so beautiful! Much respect and all the best! Take care, stay safe, and plenty of success here on HIVE! 🙂
P.S.: I know what the Bruderschaftslade (the blue box) was the box of the neighbourhood I think (or of the brotherhood, literally translated). It had the purpose of helping the community, from door to door. That is an old and important Transylvanian Saxon tradition actually.
I also wrote an article on the history of The Transylvanian Saxons on my website, if you are interested, here. I love Transylvanian Saxon cities and heritage! It is wonderful! By the way, any thoughts on the article would be very appreciated.
At the same time, if you are interested, please watch the following documentary as well. Many thanks!
Oh, I didn't know that, so thanks for the info. And this year I visited Alma Vii and posted about it as well :)
That's so beautiful! I've been to Viscri (Weisskirch) and Biertan (Birthälm) in the past and travelled past Saschiz (Keisd) on my way to Sighișoara (Schäßburg). Sachiz/Keisd is like a miniature Sighișoara or a rural version of it, in my humble opinion. The Clock Tower in Saschiz/Keisd is so beautiful and the entire village is super picturesque, as you can see below:

P.S.: I also have an entire category of articles on Transylvanian Saxons (including on their dialect, with a photograph of Moșna/Meschen, what a happy and beautiful coincidence) on my main website, in English, in case you might be interested. I truly hope you will like reading them, if you have the time for it, that is. All the best!
Also, King Charles owns property in Viscri (Weisskirch) as I am certain you know as well and he visited Transylvania in the past as well!
Thank you @vikthor, I'm glad you like them.
Wow, you did a genetic test! I know someone who took one too a few years ago and found out he has roots in Transylvania. He lives in Hungary and has never been to Transylvania or have relatives here. I know Medias very well, I go often there :)
Yes, I know where Suceava is, although I've never been there.
Thank you! We have a plan with @gabrielatravels, to pin as many places to the Pinmapple map, as we can :) It'll come in handy one day for those who want to visit these places.
Thanks for the nice comment and have a nice evening :)
Yeah!! Let's populate Romania with lots of pins so people can create their itinerary easier using our previous stories and experiences 😁
That's the plan!!! Thanks for playing 😁
And I'm going to make some more pins soon 😎
Suceava and Bukovina might be worth visiting in case you hadn't. The medieval fortress in Suceava is really worth a visit. I visited it since I was a kid and it has been renovated quite well. I also filmed a bit in it as part of a university project. The entrance is quite pricy though... Vatra Dornei, Câmpulung Moldovenesc, and Vatra Dornei are very beautiful smaller towns as well, truly worth visiting. Suceava County as a whole is far better in touristic regards than the namesake county seat. The county seat is still lacking a lot of things with respect to tourism. And this stems from a young native still living here... Anyway, all the best, take care, stay safe, and plenty of success here on HIVE!
I crossed Suceava in the past for at least 2-3 times, but never really took time to explore the surroundings. However, I knew about the fortress and I had it on my list for a few years now, just need to pick the right moment to explore it as it deserves.
Thank you for your reply. I wish you a lovely day and plenty of achievements on Hive!
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me! I truly hope you'll have a wonderful experience by visiting the seat fortress in my hometown, as you deserve. You are more than welcome! All the best and much respect! 🙂
These are wonderful news indeed! I am so glad to see other Romanian HIVE bloggers here! It makes me so happy! All the best and many blessings to both! Kind regards from Suceava! 😊
