Even if there is a market place on one side of the road, behind a fence, with many suitable stands, very few merchants use them. They prefer to park their vans in front of the gates and open the back doors to the street. They sell tomatoes, eggplants, beans, fish, second hand trousers, hay bales, cooking discs, auto parts, pink dresses bought decades ago in Moscow with a hundred dollars and sold today with one hundred lei. Not only locals sell at the market, merchants come from the entire region, from Corjova to Tiraspol.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f89d141 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f89d141\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cb9c326\" data-id=\"cb9c326\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a720d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9a720d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-449706\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1-1536x731.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1-1250x595.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.moldova.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/2-1-400x190.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6161704 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6161704\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3d7bb9\" data-id=\"f3d7bb9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd4e9a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd4e9a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">Once people start gathering their stuff and the village is no longer engulfed in the turmoil of the market, you can go on and visit the village.

He continues his scientific research in Dub\u0103sarii Vechi until June 1940 when USSR demanded from Romania to evacuate its civil administration and troops from the territory. It was then when Donici was constrained to leave the country. He came back in 1941 and found his mansion and observatory destroyed.

Still, on the right back wall of the mansion you can still see the old plaster made out of \u201ceggs, lime and sand\u201d, as explained by the vice mayor of the village, Constantin Macarenco.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">At the mansion you can also find the ornamented \u201cstairway to heaven\u201d. It is an outside metallic stairway used by Nicolae Donici to climb up to his laboratory so he wouldn\u2019t disturb the inhabitants of the house when doing his nocturnal observations. You can still see this stairway today. What is interesting about it is that it was designed to change the angle of the steps during winter time in order to prevent slipping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">The bust of Nicolae Donici stands tall in front of the mansions.

He continues his scientific research in Dub\u0103sarii Vechi until June 1940 when USSR demanded from Romania to evacuate its civil administration and troops from the territory. It was then when Donici was constrained to leave the country. He came back in 1941 and found his mansion and observatory destroyed.

Still, on the right back wall of the mansion you can still see the old plaster made out of \u201ceggs, lime and sand\u201d, as explained by the vice mayor of the village, Constantin Macarenco.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">At the mansion you can also find the ornamented \u201cstairway to heaven\u201d. It is an outside metallic stairway used by Nicolae Donici to climb up to his laboratory so he wouldn\u2019t disturb the inhabitants of the house when doing his nocturnal observations. You can still see this stairway today. What is interesting about it is that it was designed to change the angle of the steps during winter time in order to prevent slipping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">The bust of Nicolae Donici stands tall in front of the mansions.

This difference is due to the\u00a0 Dub\u0103sari hydropower plant. But fishermen consider it an advantage &#8211; the narrowing of the river is an indicator of its depth. In other words, the river is deeper and it means that there can be more fish. If you want to fish here, you should know that experienced fishermen from the village mentioned a few deeper pits where larger fish might be habitating. It\u2019s important to \u201cfeed\u201d the place and have a water resistant tent in case you want to spend a few days here.
