About the village
Văleni is a small, quiet village of traditional farmsteads and guesthouses with rooms furnished in Maramureș style. A mill and a whirlpool washer (vâltoare) — old water-powered installations — are still preserved here and can be visited with the help of the locals.
At the end of May the village holds the Învârtita Vălenarilor, its folk-dance celebration — a good chance to see the community in traditional dress.
What to do from here
