The
Way to Probota
The Monastery of Probota is located in the Suceava prefecture of
Moldavia in northeastern Romania. The village of Probota, a community of 2,000, surrounds
the monastery and the Church of St. Nicholas. The largest nearby city, Suceava, lays fifty
kilometres away. The historic Moldavian capital of Iasi is ninety kilometres away. The
Probota Monastery is best reached by car, taking the route Suceava Falticeni
Dolhasca, or the route Iasi Pascani Dolhasca. From Dolhasca, a local country
road leads to Probota.
