The Marasesti Mausoleum is a historical monument dedicated to those who died in the First World War.

It is located in Vrancea County, as this is where the main battles on the Eastern Front took place. During these battles in Marasesti, 480 Romanian officers and 21,000 Romanian soldiers died. Today, the mausoleum houses 5000 soldiers and officers in 154 individual crypts and 9 common crypts in 18 rows.

Pictures from last weekend (and we were also allowed to try how it tastes) from Postolache in the Focsani region. Conclusion: Simply delicious.

Ardei umpluti (in German: stuffed peppers) and our beloved sarmale, but this time all vegetarian, without meat. We had a lot of comments on the Facebook post from two weeks ago asking for a meat-free version. Here it is, and as many people wrote at the time, you can replace the meat and the leaves used to wrap the sarmale in a variety of ways.

PS: Three pictures were taken before cooking. The picture with the two peppers shows them after cooking.

Focsani, Fokshan in German, is located in the region of West Moldova in the district of Vrancea.

After extensive restoration work, the town's large synagogue is now also used for exhibitions and cultural events. It can be visited daily, except on Sabbath*.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful pictures and the corresponding text/explanation.

Sabbath* = the seventh day of the week, in this case Saturday (not Sunday)

Herds of goats, sheep and much more are still part of everyday life in Romania.

These pictures were taken at the end of January 2020, we traveled through the countryside (here near Focșani, Vrancea County in eastern Romania) with the herd for an hour. Absolutely calming and pure relaxation!

About 90 km from Galati, right behind Tecuci in the Vrancea district, is the resort Zaga Zaga incorporated in the Siret delta.

A private house by the water to relax, fishing right outside the front door, in the garden that climbs through the trees, you walk through the trees, relax by the pool or be there at an outdoor concert ... this and more are possible here for young and old.

We decided to go on a boat tour ( in a pedal boat ), about 1 1/2 hours over lakes and through many wonderful nature canals. We enjoy the peace and see and photograph birds, which feel as comfortable here as we do.
A wonderful place to relax...
