Piatra Scrisa

Imagine climbing the highest mountains, trying to conquer the most adventurous peaks or exploring the deepest caves secret hidden places underground like salt mines.Some of us are lucky enough to see these places as tourists but most of us can only dream or do the most in the most common locations.
More details here:http://www.caransebes.ro/piatrascrisa/index.htm

For example if you want to visit places at random , just get on the car and take a trip along the Danube. The view is unforgetable in spite of the long road although there are a lot of inns to get rest and have a traditional meal. You can also have a spiritual revelation because in your way there are plenty monasteries as Roumanians are a very religious people and one of the most interesting places for its history as well as for its spirituality is the"Piatra Scrisa" church hidden somewhere in the breach of the mountain. The legend says that while the local people were trying to built the rail way Caransebes-Orsova in that place the mountain split and in front of the workers appeared an icon of Virgin Mary which determined people to build a church in that very spot. The pictures on the wall are originally and people consider it as a saint place. If you have the chance don't miss the opportunity to light a candle and say a pray. I did.
