Vişeul de Sus is located in Maramures county, close to the border with Ukraine, 120 km from Baia Mare and 94 km from Vatra Dornei.

Located in the eastern part of Viseul de Sus, the valley of Vaser is about 40 km long. Through the valley, it runs hard, with a maximum of 30 km / h, the last creek in Romania, and one of the last in Europe.
What is power? Well, the Mocanita is the name given by the locals to a train with a steam locomotive. In the past, Mocanita circulated on a railway track and was used to transport trees cut into the valley.

On the Vaser Valley, Mocanita starts every morning, from March to October, around 8:30, so it is recommended to stay in Viseul de Sus the night before, to make sure you arrive on time.

The ticket price is about 17 euro per person and the road is 21.6 km away, to Paltin. At Paltin there is a break, after which Mocanita returns to Viseu. On your journey with Mocanita, you will enjoy a beautiful mountain landscape.

Probabil, da. Din cite stiu , Mocanita nu circula iarna. Mai bine zis, circula citeva zile in perioada sarbatorilor de iarna.

Ah, trebuie să mă interesez mai bine.

Very nice place! Good sights!!

Wow, looks wonderful. It reminded me my day trip to Jim Thorpe in Pennsylvania. Similar river flowing beside and a joy of train ride. Would love to visit Romania one day
