Dealul Henciu
Photo spot with a massive red wooden swing on the ridge, sweeping view over village, lake and fields · 20-minute drive from Chișinău
Couple's photo on the big red swing at sunset with the village, lake and fields stretching below - the kind of shot that gets used as a screensaver
A good option if you're already around Ialoveni: a photo spot with a red swing on the ridge and a view over the village, lake and fields, just ~20 min from Chișinău. Worth it mainly for a short stop at sunset.
Dealul Henciu is the open ridge above Suruceni village, with a double wooden swing painted red planted right on the highest point - an instant photogenic frame for a couple or a family. Below stretches the village with its white-and-red roofs, a small lake in the middle, plowed fields all the way to the horizon, and blue hills beyond. The sky here is huge - cumulus clouds at midday, pink-orange palette at sunset. Locals use it for engagement-photo sessions but also for an after-work pause - 20 minutes by car and you're in fresh air, completely away from city noise. There are no facilities - just grass, the swing and the view.
