The Municipal Hospital of Câmpulung Moldovenesc is facing a major crisis following the arrest of two orthopedic surgeons in a bribery scandal. The hospital is currently left without any specialists in this field, forcing the redirection of patients to other medical facilities.
The "Saint Nicholas" Church in Câmpulung Moldovenesc was re-sanctified by Bishop Damaschin Dorneanul following extensive restoration work. The ceremony drew a large number of worshippers and highlighted the city's rich religious and spiritual heritage.
Câmpulung Moldovenesc is a prominent mountain town located in the pretty Moldova River valley, serving as a major gateway to the northern Eastern Carpathians in the Bukovina region. The town is best known for its proximity to the striking Rarău Massif, a geological wonder famous for the "Pietrele Doamnei" (Lady's Rocks) limestone towers and sweeping panoramic views. Historically, the settlement was a crucial administrative and trade center within the Principality of Moldavia, a heritage reflected in its local architecture and traditions. Visitors are drawn to its unique cultural sites, such as the Wood Art Museum, which showcases the region's long-standing craftsmanship. Surrounded by dense fir forests and high mountain ridges, Câmpulung Moldovenesc features a first-rate blend of outdoor adventure, from hiking and mountain biking to winter sports, all while preserving authentic Bucovinian hospitality.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jul–Sep.
