There are some baths made of brick, and also the caves that are built into the cliffs. Orheiul is an area, in the Raut River valley, lined with limestone shell cliffs, that has been inhabited for thousands of years.Įven though it is close to some old-world forest (the Codrii), it has very few trees right there, but along the river is evidence of inhabitation. I fervently hope it will soon be included on the list. Unbelievably, it is not yet on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List, but it is on the list of tentatives. About an hour north of Chisinau is one of Moldova’s most famous and important tourist sites.
