Attractions of Semysotka

The Semysotka Smart Village Museum is a "living" Bessarabian village that combines the features of an open-air museum, an eco-settlement with permanent residents, and a rural green tourism complex. Since 2011, a smart village has been created in the middle of the Tarutynskyi steppe in northern Bessarabia on the basis of the Semysotka village, which by that time had almost disappeared.

Old rural estates have been renovated while preserving their national color and identity, decorated with patterns, painted with paintings on household themes. All houses are equipped with solar panels and have independent water supply. People live in some estates permanently, others can be rented.

Along the paved central road, you can see an exhibition of wells of various designs in the open air. The ethnographic exhibition presents objects of folk crafts, tools, antique furniture, blankets, dishes and much more. In one of the courtyards, a vine grows, which is already over 150 years old. A museum of famous people of the Budzhak steppes is being prepared for opening.

Visitors are treated to placindas - Bessarabian pies made of puff pastry with a filling of feta cheese.

The Semisotka Smart Village Museum is part of the Center for Ethnographic, Rural Green Tourism and Family Recreation "Frumushika-Nova", located 2 kilometers south of the village.
