Biserica de lemn din Breb
While not listed in the UNESCO World Heritage site list, the wooden church in Breb is among the oldest of the preserved churches of Maramureș. It was completed in 1622. While the grounds are always open, don't expect to be able to enter the church itself if you just pop by, the priest will need to let you in and he is rarely there. Ask around in the village and maybe you'll come by him.
Babou Maramures is a hostel and campsite owned by a very friendly Dutch couple. The hostel itself is in a beautiful, newly remodeled traditional Maramureș house. It has a small, but usable kitchen and very modern bathrooms. Free wifi.
The Village Hotel is set in over one hectare of land with a stream that runs through its center, surrounded by fruit trees and the organic gardens.
Traditional homestay.
There is no public transportation that lists Breb as a stop, but you can get in from most any town on the route between Baia Mare - Cavnic - Ocna Sugatag - Sighet via mini bus.
