Țaul Park
Large park in Țaul village, about 160 km from Chișinău · free entry per a review, but badly neglected
A walk through the park, with the pond and the ruined mansion described in reviews
Worth it only if you are already in the north of the country or ready for a long drive: it is about 160 km in a straight line from central Chișinău, not an afternoon outing. Come for a walk among the park plants, not for facilities: a 2 star review says the park is just a forest. Reviews describe it as abandoned and not very well maintained, the mansion in the park is a ruin, and the small zoo is described with chickens and swans in small, dirty cages. Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance and allows dogs; there is nothing in the sources about parking or toilets.
Țaul Park is a large park in the village of Țaul, Dondușeni district, about 160 km in a straight line from central Chișinău. Google lists it as open 24 hours every day, and one review says the entrance is free. Reviewers call it the biggest park in Moldova and praise the variety of plants and the natural beauty: one review counts 64 hectares, a 2 hectare pond and about 150 plant species, some uncommon for the area. The same reviews are blunt about the current state: abandoned, not very well maintained, the park is just a forest, and the mansion inside the park is a ruin. Per one review the mansion was built in 1914 by a French-Russian banker, and the renovation plan exists on paper only. A 2 star review says that out of a 3 million EUR investment you can only see the fence and the access road. The harshest detail also comes from a review: a small Soviet era zoo with chickens and swans in small, dirty cages. No website of its own. Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance, that dogs are allowed and that the place is good for children, but there is nothing in the sources about parking or toilets.

“The park sits on 64 hectares and has a 2 hectare pond. It has 150 plant species, some uncommon for the area. Not very well maintained. A big minus is the Soviet era little zoo, with some chickens and swans in small, dirty cages. The mansion in the park was erected in 1914 by a French- Russian banker. There is a plan to renew the building, but it is on paper only.”
“It's huge. And it's the biggest park in moldova . There is a lot of animals and antique abandoned homes . But , still the place is Rich of natural beauty . Your evenings will be great in this park .”
“The place was beautiful one day, but nowadays is really abandoned. What a waste of precious touristic attraction!”
