Scientific excursion to Romania -
Szeklerland, April/May 2014
Bogi Toth and
Istvan Botar organized an amazing tour. A group of 13 people
travelled from Cluj to Bucarest. We visited impressive monuments
as well as skilled and friendly handy crafts.
We visited the
churches of Tīrgu Mureș, Agrișteu, Mălāncrav, Brădeni, Mugeni, Miercurea
Ciuc and Gelinta. Bogi and Istvan presented their
dendrochronological and archaeological work of these buildings.
Basket makers, door carver, cooper and shingle maker showed us
their impressive skills and knowledge. They invited us to do
some small examples.
All in all it was a
very interesting tour. We have learned a lot about the
monuments, the handy crafts as well as about the region and the
different people living in this region.
Many thanks to Bogi
and Istvan for the organization!
We will try to continue with such excursions in future.
