2-Day Pilgrimage: The Monasteries of Cozia, Prislop, and Lainici
About This Tour
We invite you on a two-day spiritual journey dedicated to prayer, inner peace, and discovering some of Romania’s most important holy sites. This pilgrimage was created especially for those who wish to step away from the fast pace of everyday life and rediscover their inner peace by visiting places of worship filled with pure energy.
Our journey begins at the majestic Cozia Monastery, perched on the banks of the Olt River, from where we’ll head toward the Hunedoara region. Here, we’ll enjoy a restful night in Hunedoara, so that the next day we can set out with open hearts toward Prislop Monastery, a place transformed into a true sanctuary of peace and hope.
The journey culminates with a visit to Lainici Monastery, hidden amid the dramatic mountain scenery—a place where nature and faith blend harmoniously. It’s more than just a trip; it’s an opportunity for reflection and an experience you’ll carry in your heart long after you return home.
