In northern Romania, at the Ukrainian border, lies the county of Maramures. Here, amidst mountains, hills and depressions are one of the most interesting tourism objects in the country, yet very well kept. Here, people lead their lives as authentically and peacefully as in the old times.

Maramureşul nu este doar un punct de atracţie turistică: el este mai ales un simbol de tradiţie autentică românească şi continuitate. Maramureşul este unul dintre puţinele locuri din România unde tradiţiile sunt încă păstrate şi respectate, aşa cum au fost cu sute de ani în urmă.

Maramures is not only a tourist attraction: it’s the very symbol of Romanian tradition and continuity. Maramures is one of the few places in Romania where traditions are still kept and respected, as they were hundreds of years ago.

Localitatea Breb (comuna Ocna Sugatag) a fost atestată documentar în anul 1360, istoria lor fiind strâns legată de exploatarea sării.Vatra satului este plasată la gura de vărsare a Văii Caselor în Valea Breboaiei. O parte din sat se întinde la sud de biserică, până peste Valea Sunătoarelor.Cinci mori apar însemnate pe Valea Caselor, iar o moară pe Valea Breboaia.

The village of Breb is a sleepy little village of around 400 homes and depending on how many men and women are working away or at school in Cluj Napoca there can be up to 1,500 in the village. The bottom of the village is around 400 meters above sea level and the top is around 550/600 meters

There are two churches, the Greco Catholic church which is the 16th century church made of solid oak next to the river and the Orthodox church that dominates the skyline for miles around.

Odinioară, toate casele de la ţară erau acoperite cu şindrilă. În Maramureş, le zice draniţe. Meşterii care fac aşa ceva sunt tot mai rari. În Breb, încă se mai învelesc casele cu şindrilă

Once all the country houses were covered with shingles. In Maramures, their name is draniţe. Craftsmen who do that are more rare. In Breb, still surround the houses with shingle

The courtyard is fronted with a huge Maramures gate.

Poarta din lemn este cel mai important element din arhitectura tradiţională a ţăranului din Maramureş, reprezentând, în acelaşi timp, un indiciu al prestigiului social şi economic al familiei respective. Se construieşte din trei trunchiuri mari din stejar, legate între ele prin intermediul unui fruntar şi având acoperişul în patru ape, exact ca la case. These gates come from the time when only Lords could afford to have them to protect their houses and barns inside there walled gardens. It became a sigh of wealth and many of them where made when the men came home from the last recession in the early 90's. Each gate has the date it was made on it and the person who made it, normally their owner of the house behind it.

Atât portiţa pentru trecerea oamenilor, cât şi poarta mare, pentru atelaje şi animale, sunt decorate cu diferite motive care variază de la însemnele solare, dintele de lup şi ghinul, până la flori stilizate, pomul vieţii în diverse variante şi o sumedenie de motive romboidale, mai mari sau mai mărunte.

The various symbols that adorn these gates had specific significance in the past. The rosette is the most important of the motifs. It is the symbol of the sun, a source of light which all life depends. The tree of life represents the never-ending nature of life, eternal life without death
