Nănești: Wooden Church, Protected Areas and Recreational Fishing

Culture

The “Intrarea în Biserică” wooden church is a structure made of oak wood. Local residents built it in 1776. It stands in the centre of the village of Nănești as a local historic monument. A dovetail joint is used in the oak walls. The foundation consists of river stones.

The combination of oak wood, dovetail joints and a river-stone foundation describes the church not only in terms of its age, but also through its craftsmanship. Its location in the centre of the village and its designation as a local historic monument are part of its local classification.

The Biserica Năneşti church is located in the immediate vicinity of Nănești. The Biserica Lungoci church is also nearby. The Biserica Nămoloasa church is located there as well. Biserica Ortodoxă Călienii Noi is also identified as an Orthodox church in the immediate vicinity. Thus, this area includes several places recorded as churches, as well as one church explicitly recorded as an Orthodox church.

Nature

The ROSPA0071 Lunca Siretului Inferior Natura 2000 protected area also includes Nănești in Vrancea County. The Lalu wetland has been included in the Natura 2000 network. Lalu is designated as a protected area. The natural ponds of Nănești are considered an attraction for tourists and anglers.

The information about nature connects, in Nănești, a protected area at the level of Vrancea County with the Lalu wetland and the village’s natural ponds. For the landscape, this records both its Natura 2000 classification and Lalu’s explicitly designated protected-area status.

The Fântâna lui Alexuţ spring is located in the immediate vicinity of Nănești. The Fântâna lui Gavrilă Lepădă spring is also located there. Another spring in the immediate vicinity is named Fântâna lui Radu Constantin. The Fântâna lui Toader şi Gheorghe spring is also located in the area around Nănești. The four named springs are therefore distributed between the immediate vicinity and the surrounding area of the village.

Geographical Location

The DN 25A national road connects the DN 25 at Hanu Conachi with the DN 23. The endpoint of this road is in Nănești, Vrancea County. The location information therefore names both Hanu Conachi and Nănești as points on the described connection. In this road description, Nănești is explicitly named as the endpoint, while Hanu Conachi appears as the reference point on the DN 25.

Activities

Carp Arena Cărpănoaia 2 offers private recreational fishing. The fishing follows the principle of “Catch, photograph and release”. The “Tomiță Lazăr” recreational fishing cup was scheduled to hold its 11th edition. In Vrancea County, it is considered an event that has become a tradition.
