Sofia Ionescu-Ogrezeanu was the first female neurosurgeon in south-eastern Europe. She helped build the foundation of Romanian modern medicine, right after the war. It seems that before her, no woman had dared perform surgery on a human brain. Since that first, for 47 years she would operate on brains and spines, hardly ever enjoying a day off or a holiday.
The village of Cloasterf, in Mures County, Transylvania, is a place hardly touched my modernity. It’s the perfect place for relaxation, with guest houses embellished with old, hand painted furniture, with no TV or other modern amenities. The main point of attraction in the village is the fortified church standing right in the middle of it, built after the bigger one in Saschiz. The interior of the church has been preserved, as it was back in the 17th century, in the popular baroque style.
