The natural and monastic complex at Saharna, in Rezina district, draws thousands of visitors each year who want to combine hiking with the site's spiritual calm. Waterfalls forming on rocky slopes are the highlight of marked trails in the area.
In spring, after snowmelt, water flow is at its peak and the waterfalls reach their most impressive height. In summer the forest provides shade on steep paths, and in autumn foliage colours add extra charm to the landscape.
Hiking boots, enough water, and respect for quiet near the monastery are recommended. Trails vary in difficulty — from short walks to routes of several hours for fit hikers.
Saharna remains one of Moldova's natural jewels — a place where water, stone, and forest create an unforgettable landscape just a few hours from Chișinău.
