Fetești Natural Reserve · Toltrele Prutului

Nature reserve at Fetești, in the north of the country, about 184 km in a straight line from Chișinău, open around the clock. It protects the Toltre of the Prut, the line of limestone rocks that rise out of the fields. The reviews are short and without exception positive: a man born in the village below the rocks says it took him many years to understand what a place he had there, and calls it the most beautiful in Moldova. Other visitors repeat the recommendation without going into detail about trails or facilities. Google marks the place as suited to children and allows dogs, but there is no information about waymarking, how long a walk takes or amenities, so come prepared and leave early, the drive from Chișinău takes a good part of the day.
