High picturesque hills stretch along the village, especially beautiful at sunset. They are mesmerizing, sometimes resembling Egyptian pyramids, but they hide secrets far more ancient. The hills consist of deposits of sand, clay, and pebbles. The age of these deposits is up to 4 million years. Paleontologists have found mammoth bones and other extinct animals here. Some specimens can be seen in the V\u0103leni museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.visit.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC_8665-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.visit.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200715_203724-978x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.visit.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200715_195428-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Girlo Manolescu &#8211; Tributary of Lake Beleu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not far from the village is one of the two channels feeding Lake Beleu &#8211; Girlo Manolescu. An old wooden bridge spans the channel. According to legend, a path leads to this bridge from Petru Rare\u0219, the son of \u0218tefan cel Mare, who, according to tradition, loved to rest and fish at Lake Beleu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.visit.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200717_132648-862x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.visit.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200715_123730-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Bunica Bate Toba<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another attraction of the village of V\u0103leni is the Bejenaru family, who have been making drums for 30 years.
