The Horezu depression combines five localities, namely Horezu town and its adjacent main villages, Costesti, Maldaresti, Vaideeni and Slatioara. It is located in the valley at the foot of the Capatânii mountains and characterises a community united in its linguistic, cultural and traditional features. As one of the many Orthodox Romanian heritage and culture relicts, the Hurez monastery, a UNESCO monument, is one of the region’s symbols. The Horezu depression got awarded as a “European Tourist Destination of Excellence in Intangible Heritage” in 2008 (project European Destinations of Excellence EDEN).
