A forest famous for ghost and UFO legends, in reality a lovely and popular daytime walk; the park sits at its edge.

Romania's first open-air museum: founded by the ethnographer Romulus Vuia in 1929 on the Hoia hill west of the city, seven years before Bucharest's — 16 hectares of forest and meadow with complete timber houses and farms from Transylvania alone: Maramureș houses with their gates, shepherds' homes from the mountains, two wooden churches of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, water mills, presses and a sawmill. The first section is for technical crafts — mills, presses, pottery — the second for whole farmsteads with their fences and barns as moved. The quiet here far exceeds ASTRA or Bucharest, and the forest around it is a favourite Cluj walk. Reached by bus from the centre or a half-hour walk through Hoia park; ninety minutes suffice, loveliest in autumn colour.
Seventeenth century without a nail.
Whole farms moved with their fences.
