Less than one hour from the gateway city of Baia Mare, hidden beyond the Tibles mountain range is Lapus Country where seven monasteries are situated on six of the mountaintops; Rohia, Rohiita, Lapus, Dealu Mare, Briaza and St. Andrei. The most well-known is Rohia but each has its unique characteristics worth visiting if one has the time.
The Barsana Monastery is located at the southern end of the village and merits a visit by travelers.
Rohia's location atop a hill surrounded by lush forests and stunning views is a truly spiritual place, calm and serene, yet welcoming. The monastery is best known for its late resident and convert to Catholicism, Nicolai Steinhardt who spent his final years building a remarkable library of international works
