The Holy Place of Moldova - Tsipova

During my go to of Moldova rehberlik I saw there a number of stunning and picturesque places. It's very pity that the Moldavians can't put the vacationer's enterprise on a high degree to attract the guests from the whole world to come back to their country. The Republic of Moldova is a very small country that is even invisible on the map. However being there I admired the attractive nature and wonderful places. Different travel companies can recommend you various excursions to the Moldavian monasteries and churches. Nicely, in the event you'll resolve to go to a few of those places then it's important to go to Tsipova. I've heard much about that place and decided to see it with my very own eyes. And, consider me, it was price it. Nicely, we left Chisinau and started our trip to Tsipova. It took us two hours to get there.

The sights on the way to that magnificent place were wonderful. If I were an artist I'd draw these wonderful hills, small villages, lakes and forests. Every place has its personal beauty and attraction. At last we got here to Tsipova. Our car stopped near a small church. It did not differ from different churches at all. "Oh, is it that famous monastery?" I thought. "What am I doing right here? » But then the information got here and led us to the other direction from the church. On the best way we saw a small meadow and came to the brink of the precipice I saw the Dnister River. It's a extensive and meandering river.

Well, our road frightened me a lot. We had to go down the path which wasn't asphalted and we couldn't grasp any hand-rail. It was rather dangerous. The path seemed dangerous because it was slim with sudden turnings and it was surrounded by the precipices. On the way in which we noticed the small cave, we went in and I noticed a big icon there. I noticed additionally a stone stove-bench with a blanket on it there.

At last we got here to the monastery. Once we got here in I felt that we were in a mysterious and holy place. There were candles, icons and monks everywhere. The rooms where the monks lived seemed unattractive. These cells had been used only for sleeping and praying. I'm wondering how the monks may sleep on a stone ground that was covered only with a blanket. The ceiling was very low so, to come into a cell and to spend the time there it's a must to pitch down your head. Then we went down the steps to the basement and I believed that we're misplaced cause I couldn't find the way in which out. Eachbody had to bend theirselves down cause the ceilings have been decrease than within the cells. I was very sorry for these monks who had to maneuver in such means each day. It's not really easy! Ultimately we came out from that basement and everybody started to stretch their bodies.

However I okaynew that one other journey was ready for me. We decided to make an tour to the waterfall. That road was more harmful then the way in which to the monastery. I hoped that we shouldn't climb these harmful "rocks". However, I had to say goodbye to all my hopes. On the best way to the waterfall we had to leap, to climb, and to crawl. Then we reached the road that was between two rocks and determined to have a rest. We noticed a spring there and drank some water. Oh, water! It was so long-anticipated, candy and cold water! There was a giant cross close to that spring. It amazed me a lot. The cross was roughly two meters high and it was decorated with flowers. Some meters further we saw the waterfall. It was fantastic! I did not know the place the water flows from as I did not see the river. It appeared that the water ran just from the mountain.

I'm wondering how it could be that such small and unknown nation is so rich with pure sights. You see, we by no means know what and the place is ready for us. I did not want to leave that place. I felt one thing higher than pleasure, I felt how the pacification spread in my soul and in my mind. Listening to the sounds of falling water I did not assume at anything. I even didn't want to think. But, as you recognize, the time presses and we had to go back. We returned the identical manner but it surely hasn't seemed so troublesome for me yet. Although I've had a chance to fall down from the precipice but my mates and the branches of the bushes have saved my life.
