Budesti between the Village Museum and Living Culture
Budesti is located in the Tohatin Valley, at the junction of three valleys. For travelers who want to experience culture not only through individual buildings, but also through educational programs, local events, and a tourist route, the village offers several clearly identified points of reference. The area where Budești is located today was historically described as a forest.
