A magical school of Father Christmas invites children to the Romanian village of Malini. Here, under a 20-meter Christmas tree in the schoolyard, guests are greeted by a white-bearded old man who has specially left his residence in Lapland to delight local children with sweets and gifts. Afterwards, everyone goes to the school where they can showcase their talents in making Christmas decorations and gingerbread.
"We have breathed new life into the old village school, which is over 80 years old and was closed after the birth rate dropped significantly here. The space is designed to help children develop their creativity, forget about technology and live in a world of fairy tales," say the creators of the project.
Nearby, in a 130-year-old house, there is a "Doll World" that houses a collection of over 2500 antique textile and porcelain dolls. This collection is interesting not only for children but also for their parents. Every year during the winter holidays, thousands of families from all over Romania come to this magical village.
No less popular among local residents is the Santa's Village in the village of Negreste. There is Santa and the gnomes' house, a reindeer enclosure, and a magical sleigh nearby. There is also a special post office in Santa's Village where letters for the winter wizard are accepted.
Those wishing to take a walk in the surrounding area can do so in the company of an elf guide. Such a pleasure costs about 20 euros per person. The magical village in Negreste is open until the end of December.
