点评:Orhei Vechi is an easy drive (~1 hour) from Chisinau and well worth it. While many people take tours, it is not necessary - the main sites (cave monastery and St. Mary's Church) are easy to access, ~10-15-minute walk from the visitor center. St. Mary's is beautiful and the cave monastery features exceptional views of the Nistru.
Recommend walking past the main sites along the edge of the cliff (the Horseshoe Trail, signs with English translations provided). There's a belvedere (lookout point) at the end of the trail, which runs ~4 miles round trip and is impossible to get lost. The views are incredible and the highlight of the visit.
The Orhei Vechi website advertises bike rentals for 50 lei to visit the surrounding towns. I did that, wouldn't recommend it. My bike was so old that it was probably a hand-me-down from Brezhnev. I'm in pretty good shape but couldn't get halfway up the first hill. Much better to walk.
Unlike most sites in Moldova, Orhei CAN get crowded. Suggest getting there early, especially if you're visiting on a weekend. The visitor center opens at 8am and the cave monastery can be accessed starting at 9am.
翻译:从基希讷乌开车到旧奥尔海伊很方便(约1小时),非常值得一游。虽然很多人会参加旅行团,但其实没有必要——主要景点(洞穴修道院和圣玛丽教堂)很容易到达,从游客中心步行约10-15分钟即可到达。圣玛丽教堂景色优美,洞穴修道院可以欣赏到尼斯特鲁河的壮丽景色。
建议沿着悬崖边缘步行穿过主要景点(马蹄铁小径,提供英文翻译的路标)。小径的尽头有一个观景台(观景台),往返约4英里,绝对不会迷路。景色令人叹为观止,是这次旅行的亮点。
旧奥尔海伊网站上有广告,说可以租自行车,50列伊可以游览周边城镇。我租了自行车,但不推荐。我的自行车太旧了,可能是勃列日涅夫的旧车。我的身体状况还不错,但第一座山上半山腰都爬不上去。走路比较好。
与摩尔多瓦的大多数景点不同,奥尔海伊可能会很拥挤。建议早点到,尤其是在周末。游客中心早上8点开放,洞穴修道院早上9点开始开放。
