Letea Veche between Rivers, Nature and Culture

Letea Veche can be explored through its river landscapes, nature and culture. The area lies at the confluence of the Siret and Bistrița rivers and within the catchment areas of both rivers. When you consider a place not only in terms of a single highlight but also through several clearly identifiable points of reference, a factual, regionally structured overview emerges.

Geographical setting

County road DJ207G runs through Letea Veche and Ruși-Ciutea, providing access to the commune from the west. The “La Cornuri” peak and the “La Ţigănie” island are located near Letea Veche. In the wider regional area are Măgura Mărăşti mountain and Prundul Mare island.

Nature

Lake “Balta Albastră” serves as a wintering area for flocks of wild ducks. The ROSCI0434 Siretul Mijlociu Natura 2000 site also includes Letea Veche. The commune of Letea Veche also has a 3,271 m² public park. For your own planning, seasonal wildlife, the protected-area aspect and public green space can be considered as separate nature-related themes alongside one another.

Culture

The Letea Veche archaeological site – Site 6 lies along the Bacău bypass road between km 9+140 and km 9+200. The Letea Veche archaeological site – Site 7 is also located along the Bacău bypass road, between km 10+250 and km 10+320.

The Lecca manor house in Radomirești is a locally listed historic building and was built in 1895. The nearby area around Letea Veche also includes the “Complexul Muzeal Iulian Antonescu” museum, the “Galeriile de Artă Bacău” art galleries, the “Muzeul de Ştiinţe ale Naturii Vivariu” museum and the “Statuia Ecvestra a lui Ştefan cel Mare” monument.

The cultural attractions therefore differ in terms of both type and location: Two archaeological sites lie along the Bacău bypass road, while the manor house in Radomirești and the museums and monument mentioned above form additional, independent points of reference. The two sites are also clearly distinguished from each other by their different kilometre ranges.

Further destinations for your travel planning include Slanic-Moldova, Darmanesti, Gura Văii, Sulţa, Hemeiuș, Moinesti, Tescani and Bacău.

Events

The “Zilele comunei Letea Veche” community festival takes place annually in the first half of September. The 2019 edition of “Zilele Comunei Letea Veche” took place on 7 and 8 September at the Letea Veche sports complex. The “Complexul Sportiv Atletico Arena” sports complex in Letea Veche has a covered football pitch that has been completed and put into operation.

The date of the community festival and the covered football pitch are presented as separate pieces of information.

When choosing a hotel in Letea Veche, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation conditions separately. This information relates to the accommodation decision; the nature, cultural and event topics described here remain independent of it.
