1. THE WOMEN’S CAVE 2. THE CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI ENSAMBLE IN TARGU JIU - Back to Bucharest

• The Women's Cave ( Pestera Muierii )

  2 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  The first question that comes to mind when you decide to take a private trip to the Women’s Cave, the most visited cave in Romania, is how it got this curious name. The Romanian people have had a long and turbulent history, so in order to survive in these conflict-ridden lands, the men, being severely outnumbered, would have to resort to guerrilla warfare, while women and children would hide in caves such as this one to protect as much of their family as they could. You will come into contact with ancient civilizations over 30.000 years old, which should be enough to make this trip worthwhile. But what we think will really peak your interest is the giant animal graveyard filled with calcified cave bear skeletons, as well as remains of other wild animals, like lions, hyenas, wolves, boars, foxes and even wild goats who had the misfortune to venture into the bears’ den.

• Table of Silence

  30 minsAdmission Ticket Free

  Even if you do not harbor a passion for sculptural masterpieces, a Brancusi exhibit is a must-see for anyone taking a trip to Romania. The Constantin Brancusi Sculptural Ensemble in Targu Jiu, also known as the “Calea Eroilor” Memorial (Heroes Way), is more than a beautiful display of stone and wood craftsmanship, it is a symbol of the Romanian spirit. The ensemble consists of four sculptures, laid out on a 1275 m axis – The Table of Silence, The Chairs Alley, The Gate of the Kiss and the Infinity Column/Endless Column, which surprise through their simple, yet deeply symbolic design.
