6. No matter the season you visit Lepsa Resort, you can always enter for a few minutes in the tiny church of Lepsa Monastery. Located in a splendid natural landscape and maintained with love and care by the few nuns who live here, Lepsa Monastery is one of the oldest religious buildings in Vrancea County. It was first built in 1789 by the local people on the land donated by a very humble man in Tulnici Village, called Grigore Gherman. After almost 150 years it was demolished in 1927 and it was rebuilt using only wood in 1936. During the Communist Era it was persecuted but from 1989 it was reestablished and was given the privileges it deserves. The Monastery is located just 200 m away from Jollie Villa, making possible for the tourists to participate every night at the religious ceremonial without having to worry about the distance to the accommodation place.

7. MUD VULCANOES The Berca Mud Volcanoes are a geological and botanical reservation located in the Berca commune in the Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases. As the gasses erupt from 3000 metres-deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure, resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.BercaBuzău CountyRomaniamud volcanoes natural gasesclaywatercontinental crustmantle The reservation is unique in Romania.Romania
