A spring whose water is held to be healing, and quiet monastery grounds for a walk or a picnic

Why it’s worth visiting

An active monastery in the forest at the edge of Cosăuți village, with a spring reputed to have healing water and a small lake nearby. Worth it for the calm and a short reflective stop; a modest place, not a tourist complex.

The story

Active monastery run by three nuns, nestled in woodland at the edge of Cosăuți village. Pilgrims visit for the spring reputed to have healing properties, and beside it lies a small lake where locals fish. The grounds are open for walks, with benches for picnicking and the chance to light candles in the chapel. The welcome is warm and the atmosphere peaceful, though access along the village dirt road becomes tricky after rain-a sturdy car is recommended in wet season. A quiet retreat that blends faith, nature, and local tradition.

  • “Very beautiful places...you have where to walk and see something beautiful!!!! Only one" - "people do not value beauty and leave a lot of garbage where they walk....Keep the cleanliness and beauty of nature!!!”

    - Anna Rusu
  • “It's very beautiful. You can stop by and light candles. The monastery is surrounded by forest, a pond, and a spring of water that's rumored to have healing properties. The only downside is that the road to the monastery through the village is terrible; if it rains, it's difficult to get through.”
